FORD FOCUS MK3 ABS PUMP F1FC2C405AG / F1FC2C219BE

Part Overview

• Part Numbers:
  • F1FC-2C405-AG: Refers to the hydraulic ABS pump, responsible for regulating brake fluid pressure during ABS activation.
  • F1FC-2C219-BE: Refers to the electronic ABS control module, integrated with the pump, which processes braking system data and controls the pump's operation.

Compatibility

• Vehicle Models:
  • Ford Focus MK3 (2011–2018)
  • Ford C-Max (2011–2018)
  • Ford Kuga (similar generation, depending on region)

Common Issues

1. ABS Warning Light:
   • One of the most common symptoms of a faulty ABS pump or module. It will appear on the dashboard and may trigger fault codes.
2. Error Codes:
   • Diagnostic codes related to this part often include C0031, C0034, C1288, or U0121.
3. Braking Problems:
   • Reduced braking efficiency, longer stopping distances, or unresponsive ABS during emergencies.
   • Hard or spongy brake pedal feel.
4. Electronic Failures:
   • Loss of communication between the ABS module and the ECU, affecting other safety systems like ESC or Hill-Start Assist.

Replacement 

1. Replacement:
   • When replacing, both the pump and controller unit are typically swapped as one assembly.
   • Ensure the replacement unit matches both part numbers (F1FC-2C405-AF and F1FC-2C219-BD) for full compatibility.
2. Programming/Calibration:
   • A replacement unit will likely need coding or calibration using Ford-specific diagnostic tools (e.g., Ford IDS) to ensure proper operation.
   • After installation, the brake system should be bled to remove air from the lines.
3. DIY Installation:
   • While mechanical installation is straightforward, programming requires professional diagnostic equipment.
