C1200 FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY: ABS FRONT LEFT ISOLATION VALVE SHORT TO BATTERY
When the vehicle stops unexpectedly, one or more wheels may lock up. In this case, the wheel speed sensors the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) so that it takes care of the problem. To solve this problem, the ABS shuts off the brake fluid to the wheel with the inlet coil or valve. In turn, the pressure is released by an outlet valve or coil. The left front ABS inlet coil valve is usually found on all four wheels of the vehicles that have this system.
The electrical circuit of the coil is checked by the ABS module once the key is turned on. If a malfunction occurs in the coil or its circuit, the module will report the network the existence of the problem through the CAN bus network to alert the situation.
