The 2007–2008 trucks and the 2009–2014 generation, every cab and engine, plus the 2011 Lincoln Mark LT; a Bosch ABS unit whose electronic control module Ford sells on its own (part 2C219)

Quick Answer

On a 2007–2014 Ford F-150, the ABS light staying on with the traction and brake lights, or the ABS pump running even with the truck switched off (code C1073), usually points at the electronic ABS control module, which Ford sells on its own and bolts to the hydraulic pump and valve block; one bad wheel-speed sensor can light the same lamps, so read the codes first. We repair your own control module on the bench for $499 flat, so it keeps its coding and goes back in plug-and-play in most cases. If the processor or board is beyond repair, a replacement board with data transfer and programming is $1,050 in total, with what you paid credited, and nothing is ordered until you approve. Ship the module to our Arlington TX workshop; the repair takes about a week on the bench (2–3 business days with rush repair), then it ships back with tracking.

2007–2014 Ford F-150: what we see on the bench

From our bench

None of our ABS orders so far has been an F-150 (our order records start in June 2026), so this page is built from Ford parts listings and the published sources below rather than from our own bench results. Text us your codes and a photo of the module's label before you order.

How common it is

No failure rate is published. In NHTSA's complaint data, 9 of the 369 complaints about the 2008 F-150 and 17 of the 2,137 about the 2011 mention ABS, and only 2 and 3 of those name a module or pump (our count). NHTSA complaint data: 2008 Ford F-150

A Bosch unit: Ford sells the electronic control module on its own as part 2C219 (BL3Z-2C219-H on the 2011 F-150 and Mark LT, for example), bolted to a separate hydraulic pump and valve block. The Bosch and Ford numbers on the label change with the year and the truck's equipment, and the 2008 Expedition carries a Continental unit, not this one, so read the label on your own module before ordering anything.

The 2007–2014 Ford F-150 ABS codes, and what they usually mean

Seeing one of these on your scan tool? Here's what it usually points to on this vehicle.

C1073

ABS pump motor control circuit

The pump keeps running, even with the engine off. ECU Testing traces it on these trucks to an internal fault in the ABS module, and it often will not clear on its own

U0121

Lost communication with the ABS module

Set by the other modules when the ABS module goes silent; check the ABS fuses, power, ground and the connector first, then the module

Wheel-speed sensor (one corner)

Sensor, tone ring or wiring at one wheel

One corner: test that sensor and its wiring first. Several corners at once, or no communication, point at the module

We don't diagnose your car. Order once you or your mechanic have confirmed this module is the cause. A clone copies the data already in your module — including earlier work by another shop — and "plug-and-play" isn't a promise the car will start. Not sure? Text us first.

Will This Fix My Problem?

Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.

Fixes:

ABS warning light on and staying on, often with the traction-control and brake lights
The ABS pump running on, even with the truck switched off (code C1073)
A scan tool that cannot reach the ABS module

Won't fix:

Wheel speed sensor failures (sensor replacement is on-car work)
Hydraulic pump or valve body mechanical failure (we repair electronics, not pump motors)
Brake line / fluid issues

Before you order

You diagnose, we service the module.
We don't have your car and we don't diagnose it. Order once you or your mechanic have confirmed this module is the cause. If the work is completed and the car still has the same symptom because of another fault, the work is still done — a bench re-test under warranty is free.
A clone copies what is in your module.
We transfer the data as we read it. If another shop or tool already worked on the module — an unfinished clone, a tune, a delete — that data can come across too. Tell us before you ship.
What "plug-and-play" means.
No dealer programming should be needed when your original data is intact, the donor matches your module (same type, hardware and software family) and the rest of the car works. It isn't a promise that the car will start or run.

Not sure it's the module? Text us the codes and a photo of the module label Mail-In Service Terms, Section 6

Shipping Instructions

These details are also emailed to you the moment your payment clears.

What to include in your box

Ship the electronic control module, not the hydraulic pump and valve block, unless we ask for it. Ford sells the module on its own: a small box of about 1.4 lb that unbolts from the pump.
Before you pull it, check the ABS fuses, the connector and the wheel-speed sensors.
Put your VIN, the codes and the number from the label in the box. Taking only the control module off leaves the brake lines closed, so no bleed is needed; if the whole unit comes out, bleed the brakes after it goes back in.
We email you a prepaid label to send it in. Pick standard, 2-day or overnight return at checkout.

2007–2014 Ford F-150 FAQ

Vehicle-specific answers.

Why is the ABS light on and the ABS pump running on my F-150?

The ABS module drives the pump motor, so when the circuit inside it fails the pump can keep running, even with the truck switched off, and the module sets C1073 and turns ABS and traction control off. ECU Testing traces C1073 on these trucks to an internal module fault. A code that names one wheel points at that wheel-speed sensor or its wiring instead.

How much does an F-150 ABS module repair cost?

$499 flat to repair your own module, plus return shipping from $29.95. If testing shows the processor or board is beyond repair, a replacement board with data transfer and programming is $1,050 in total, with what you paid credited, and we only order it after you approve. For comparison, RepairPal estimates $1,240 to $1,296 for a dealer or shop replacement on an F-150, and Ford lists a new control module for a 2011 truck at $1,868.40 before installation.

Will the module need programming after the repair?

In most cases, no. We repair the module that came out of your truck, so it keeps its own coding and goes back in plug-and-play. A replacement module from another truck is different: it has to be set up for yours before the lights go out.

Does this fit the Expedition, Navigator or Mark LT?

The 2011 Lincoln Mark LT, yes: Ford lists the same control module for it as for the 2011 F-150. The Expedition and Navigator are a different case: the 2008 Expedition carries a Continental ABS unit and the later ones are not confirmed, so text us a photo of the label first.

How long does the repair take?

About a week on the bench (2–3 business days with rush repair) at our Arlington TX workshop, plus shipping each way. Round-trip from anywhere in the US: typically about two weeks. If your module needs the replacement board, we tell you the timing when we quote it.

Is there a recall on the F-150 ABS module?

No. NHTSA's recalls for the 2007–2014 F-150 include none for the ABS module or hydraulic unit. A soft or sinking pedal on a 2013 or 2014 F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost can be a master-cylinder recall (16V-345 or 20V-332), a free dealer repair, not the ABS module. Check your own VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup.

What exactly do I ship?

The electronic ABS control module, with your VIN, the codes and the number from its label. Leave the hydraulic pump and valve block on the truck unless we ask for it; the module unbolts from it. We email a prepaid label, so sending it to us costs nothing.
