The Ford F-350 Powerstroke Crewcab is a tough, sturdy, four-wheel-drive monster, capable of handling most any task thrown its way. Its anti-lock brake system is especially important to keep maintained if you are using your F-350 in a construction site or other rugged terrain. You can troubleshoot the ABS system on your 2002 Ford F-350 Powerstroke Crewcab in your own driveway, saving time and money instead of taking it to a mechanic. You will not need any special training or tools to complete this procedure, although you may need a professional to replace select ABS parts.
Instructions
- 1
Disconnect the fuse box panel located beneath the dashboard; locate the fuse that connects to your Ford's ABS system.
2Disconnect the fuse and inspect it. If the fuse is popped, replace it with an identical fuse.
3Twist the steering wheel fully to the right.
4Inspect the ABS sensor located behind the driver's side wheel. This sensor is attached to the hub assembly and wheel bearing and has wires running off of it. It is the only sensor connected to the wheel hub itself. Inspect the wires for signs of damage. Do this for all four of your Ford's wheels.
5Start your F-350 and turn the key to "II". If you see the ABS sensor light turn on and stay lit, there is a problem with the anti-lock braking system and you should consult a mechanic.
