DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Brake System, Anti-Lock

F-150 vehicles use the rear anti-lock brake system. Bronco vehicles use the 4-wheel anti-lock brake system. Both systems feature an anti-lock speed sensor ring that is pressed on the differential case (4204) behind the ring gear. If the anti-lock speed sensor ring is removed, it must be discarded and replaced with a new one. The anti-lock speed sensor ring works in conjunction with an electronic rear brake anti-lock sensor. This sensor is retained in a bore at the top of the carrier housing and fastened by one bolt. There is a space provided between the ring gear and anti-lock speed sensor ring for measuring the ring gear backface runout.
