This page (06-09B-37) from the 1996 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and F-Super Duty Body/Chassis service manual (dated July 1995) covers 4-wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) diagnosis and testing. It concludes Pinpoint Test E for the Front Right Outlet Solenoid Valve concern (ABS Code 25) with step E6, 'Possible Conditions Not Checked.' Step E6 assumes wiring integrity has been verified and the anti-lock hydraulic control unit and electronic control module have been replaced; it directs the technician to inspect Circuits 532 (O/Y) and 498 (PK) for chafing or damage that could cause opens or shorts, and to install Rotunda Breakout Box 014-00322 with Overlay Adapter 007-00103 to repeat Step E1 while driving, watching for continuity changes. A 'Yes' answer routes to E4 for system OK verification; 'No' routes back to E3. The page also introduces Pinpoint Test F for the Rear Axle Inlet Solenoid Valve concern (Code 26), defining Code 26 as an open circuit to the anti-lock hydraulic control unit or electronic control module, an open or shorted valve coil, or internal module damage. The lower portion of the scan shows only bleed-through from the reverse page. The document notes the ABS is disabled while the breakout box is installed.
