Ford introduced the Econoline or E-series van in 1961. The 2000 Ford E-150 was produced with the option of three engine choices: a 4.2-liter V-6, a 4.6-liter V-8, and a 5.4-liter V-8. The ABS control module on the 2000 Ford E-150 is connected through the OBDII or on board diagnostics computer. Testing and ABS sensor can be done through the OBDII port, as each wheel sensor is connected to the OBDII computer through the ABS control module.
