Question for Ford Techs: ABS and Crash Sensor Programming
I have two questions for Ford techs. First, I changed gears (4.30s from 3.73s) and tires (35s from stock). I have heard this is all programmed in the ABS module, correct? If I take it in to have the gear ratio and tire size reprogrammed, what all is done? I've heard tire size can only go up to 35" (601 revs/mile), correct?
Also, I bought a used crash sensor because mine had the crash memory full code (mine was totaled when I bought it). Apparently the truck the new crash sensor came from was a crew cab with no PAD switch because I get airbag code 25. In the service manual it says the crash sensor will need to be reconfigured, is this something you just do through the OBD-II port, or should I just take the crash sensor itself into the dealership if they need to plug it directly into a programmer?
Thanks!
