    How to bleed 2005+ ABS modules from your garage

    I've been using the OBDLink MX Bluetooth on 4 vehicles with zero issuesthe car I'm building has a Gen3 coyote and separate GT500 ABS module (using 2009 build from Forscan team) installed an OBDII port just for the ABS and added the resistor as well

    How to bleed 2005+ ABS modules from your garage

    in trying this on my car, I get a quick fail after 'energizing valves' occurs - how to troubleshoot this?

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    finally got my Forscan setup with a GT500 file, but can't seem to do an ABS bleed - any recommendations to troubleshoot?

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    update, reached out to Forscan support and got the GT500 base file - have to test out yet, but should get me closer

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    does anyone have the Forscan data for the '05-09 GT500 so I can communicate with the HCU? my current ABS (Autel) obd2 connector isn't syncing up

    How to install GT500/FR500 ABS modules on 2004 and older mustangs

    When you try to sync up the module for the OBD2, it asks for a Vin number

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    another question on this... can I tie in the HS-CAN+/- lines into the same connector as the ECU?I have the #3 and #18 lines from the HCU running to my 2nd OBD2 port but the system isn't communicating, can these tie into the ECU lines on #6 and #14 or will it induce other issues?

    How to install GT500/FR500 ABS modules on 2004 and older mustangs

    any ideas how to wire an ABS warning light?edit - i found out on a Gen2/3 Coyote, it's pin #4 (-) and pin #6 (+) for a CEL/MIL

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    did a workaround and installed a separate OBD2 port just for the ABS HCU :) also soldered in the 120ohm resistor between pins #6 and #14 (HS-CAN HI & LO)Thanks all for your inputs!

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    from what I've found on this site: When connecting the ABS module to high speed can, you will need a 120 OHM resistor wired across the CAN + and CAN - wires as shown. The resistor orientation does not matter.(120 OHM resistor)Connect the CAN + and CAN - wires to the OBD adapter (pins 6...

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    so the HSCAN wires in the M-6017-M50B control pack are for EPAS? assuming that's Electric Power Assist Steering? what an odd adder IMHO, I guess good for those who want to drop a Coyote into a car with EPAS :)any folks on here that have actively done some of this activation? got some details...

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    Thanks! Yep - I understand the different modules and how they talk amongst themselves - it's a bit different with a Coyote Crate Engine IMHO as it seems there are a lot of wires in the harness- but not all of them are 'online' due to the lack of all the other modules.In this case, I'm looking...

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    sounds like in your answer, there's no ABS knowledge in the control pack so I guess my question is "is the HCU standalone or does it need to talk to an ECU as well for the ABS to work properly?"also, how can I get an ABS light to work if there are errors?any BKMs for wiring?

    Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

    ok cool - so we reached out to Ford and got the pinout for the harness, Pin#8 looks to be a brake switch wire I guess if there was stability control, and traction control the ECU would want to know the status of the brake pedal - but in this case, not needed?
