My 99 has Bosch ABS 5.3..I assume 2000's are the same.
In reply to:
ABS Series: Bosch 5.3, Beyond ABS, Larry Carley, Brake & Front End, February 2001
As anti-lock brake technology continues to evolve, ABS systems are becoming more sophisticated, complicated and compact. Many systems today are capable of providing stability control, as well as traction control, and some have also taken over the job of handling front-to-rear brake proportioning. The Bosch 5.3 ABS system fits this description.
Thats why the recall only included non-ABS (late model)Contours. No mech. Prop. valve on ABS models. I bet the SVT E1 has it. From a money standpoint, cheaper to use Bosch than a separate system or device.
I know I read we have EBD somewhere else, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. I'll keep looking, but not too hard.
1999 seems to be the year that EBD was introduced. Seen an article on the 1999 Cougar that mentioned it. I have Traction Control too, which isn't/wasn't available on CSVTs.
I am sure someone in this group has some inside info source at Ford and can get a definitive answer on this...
