Hi Tim, I'm afraid that the answer is no! First point is that I actualy installed the Sierra ABS system on my Dax Rush (se7en) kit car. For the first three years everything was great. Then the brakes started to bind and basically locked on. This was random but when they did, I had to wait half an hour for them to unbind then all was OK again. This plagued me for over two years. I changed just about every ABS component I clould including ECU, actuator, and pump. In the middle of the two years and whilst I had just chenged the pump the ABS (yellow) lights stayed on and would not goo out. Up to then it always did. No idea why. I even changed the pump back again but still I had the light fault. Everything I did did not cure the binding brakes nor the ABS lights. In the end just this last March I had no choice but to remove the whole ABS system and put the car to 'normal' brakes although I did add a dual circuit servo. I am pleased with the result although I do not have ABS, obviously. I assume you cannot really do that.

Really sorry I could not help you. By the way, I even tried a Ford diagnostic computer but they do not work on all versions. It seem only Cossie and Transits! Looking at the diagnostic socket wiring diagram it makes no sense as it does not even have a wire to the ECU. If it had, it would allow you to clear the fault as well as probably identifying it.

Hope yours sorts itself out. I have an awful lot of ABS test information I could e-mail you if you want. PM me.

Richard.
