U0415 - Invalid Data Received from ABS Module

[CrackedDSM]

Hey guys, I’m hoping someone can hook me up with a diagnostic procedure for this code. 

 

2015 Ford Edge Sport AWD

 

Cliffnotes/history: ABS, traction control, stability control, and park aid are all turned off/lights on dashboard. Car had one code for the right rear abs sensor and it got replaced. Now there is a code U0415 - Invalid Data Received from ABS control module. This car has had a front end collision before, not sure if relevant. 

 

 

I checked over the harness and saw no breaks or loose connections. Tone rings are all fine, no codes for any sensors specifically. 

 

Anyone have any experience with their ABS module going out/bad? I do not have a recall for the abs module, I checked. Also, if anyone can access the official ford diagnostic procedure that would help immensely. As would first hand experience!

Updating this, so in case anyone in the future has this problem, here's the solution: 

 

 

There was a break in the harness, where it ran underneath the back seat, inside the car.  It was broken to where you almost couldn't even tell until you shifted the harness and then bam. There it was, broken apart.  Reconnected the wires, shrink wrapped it, bam.  Everything is fixed.  Traction control, ABS, stability management, lane assist, everything is fine with absolutely no lights or issues.  If you get this code, check out every single inch of your harness going from the ABS sensors, all the way to your ABS pump, and etc.  Run a continuity check and it'll tell you everything you need to know.  Was a simple fix after all!

I KNOW ITS AN OLD POST, BUT CAN I GET MORE INFO ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE BROKEN WIRE? I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON SAME YEAR.

@CrackedDSM wasn't too specific as to the exact location. His advice was to start checking the wiring at each sensor (each wheel), follow up into car and then to ABS module. He found his break in the harness under the back seat. 

 

Its more likely that a break would occur under the car where it's subject to ice, snow, road debris like rocks and stuff.

 

Under the back seat sorta tells me he had shoved something under the seat, hitting the harness. crusting.

 

I'd also check the connector at the ABS module for green crusties.

I had the same issue with my Mondeo MK5. The dashboard was like a christmas tree with all the lights. I had to remove the ABS module from the car but fortunately I was able to remove just the electronic part of the module. All the pipework remained untouched. I then resoldered all the power connections on the module - these are the heavy/large connections on the PCB. I also touched up some of the other connections. If it looked bat it got soldered. This cured some of the faults, however I still have the U0415 fault showing on Forscan. At this point i used a multimeter to check continuity from the front ABS sensors to the ABS module and I found an open circuit from the signal wire on the right hand side of the car to the ABS module. I bridged out the wire by placing a wire between the ABS sensor and the module restarted forscan and the fault was gone. I have now soldered a permanent connection between the sensor and module and the car now runs perfectly. Regards John
