BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2003 Ford Focus AUTOMOBILES
Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 2003 Ford Focus cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Disc Brakes -> Rear Disc & Parking Brakes -> Description -> Continental, Cougar, LS, Mustang, Sable & Taurus -> Contour & Mystique -> Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder & Town Car -> Escort, Tracer & ZX2
Vehicle: 2003 Ford Focus ZTW 2.3 L4 GAS
Continental, Cougar, LS, Mustang, Sable & Taurus
Sliding caliper rear disc brakes are used on these models. The caliper is basically the same as the larger front wheel caliper. However, a parking brake mechanism and a larger inner brake shoe anti-rattle spring have been added.
The parking brake lever, located at the rear of the caliper, is actuated by a cable system similar to rear drum brake applications. When the parking brake is applied, the cable rotates the lever and operating shaft, driving the caliper piston and brake shoe assembly against the rotor. An automatic adjuster in th...

Anti-lock Brakes -> Focus -> Description -> ABS w/Traction Control & Stability Assist -> Brake Booster -> Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) -> Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit -> Lateral Accelerometer -> Stability Assist Module -> Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor -> Wheel Speed Sensors -> Yaw Rate Sensor
Vehicle: 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 2.3 L4 GAS
Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit
The ABS control module and hydraulic unit are integrated into one assembly. The unit consists of an aluminum block of solenoid valves, pump motor and ABS control module.
The ABS control module continuously monitors and compares wheel speed information for each wheel. When the module determines that a wheel lockup is going to occur, brake pressure is modulated to the appropriate wheel. Brake pressure modulation is achieved by the hydraulic control unit opening and closing appropriate solenoid valves. When the affected wheel returns to normal speed, s...

Vehicle: 2003 Ford Focus SVT 2.0 L4 GAS
Brake Roughness
If roughness or vibration is encountered during highway operation or if pedal pumping is experienced at low speeds, the disc may have excessive thickness variation. Measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from the edge of the disc. If thickness measurements vary by more than .0005 inch, replace the rotor.
Excessive later...
