Does anyone know the procedure for programing a new backup aid module. I understand it requires driving the vehicle at a certain speed and stopping and doing some other weird stuff.

Looking at the service manual for your year the calibration procedure is something that the consumer can't not do unless he has the correct test equipment.

The following was copied from the Ford workshop manual
Park Aid Calibration and Self-Test Diagnostics — Navigator, Early Build Expedition
Connect the diagnostic tool.
Place the vehicle in PARK.
Select the appropriate vehicle and engine.
Enter the active command mode for the parking aid module.
RUN the radar sensor calibration active command.
Exit the active command mode.
RUN the park aid on-demand self-test.
RETRIEVE and CLEAR any DTCs. REFER to DTC Index.
RUN the park aid on-demand self-test.
If any DTCs remain, Go To Pinpoint Test B .

if you do your own work you may find the following very helpful;
Ford workshop manual on DVD. Can be obtained from seller "morpheousking" on e-bay. Cost about $10.00 Much better than Clymer, Haynes or Chilton and also includes wiring diagrams
Don't waste your money on a Clymer, Haynes or Chilton Manual.
It is well worth the $10.00 just make sure you get the DVD for your year as the seller has different DVD's for different years

No I am not. I have found these manuals to be very helpful not only for myself but also in trying to help others I have also had the other manuals and when comparing what you get on the DVD's there is no comparison to the information that is available on the DVD's. IMHO they are worth much more that what he charges for them.

Also sad to say but it appears he has raised his prices (14.99)but still worth it
You can also check his other items for sale in order to get the right DVD for your year.

If you did not buy it yet, I have an iso of the workshop manual. Burn the iso to a DVD then install it. After installing, open it. If you can't see anything make it full screen then a window then make it big again. It should show. If it acts strange or doesn't show the manual selected reopen the program. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-yhdQC7r6a6RXNuTFRCZWV1QXM/edit?usp=docslist_api

To answer your original question, lookup TSB 06-25-13 (or see attached). It also comes up when you Google "Ford DTC C1983" I'll copy and paste the procedure below (with some modified formatting for improved legibility...).
"
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Use the IDS to run PAM self-test.
- If DTC C1983 is the only code present, replace the PAM referring to the physical replacement procedure in the on-line Workshop Manual (WSM). If other codes are present, repair other DTCs before continuing with this TSB.
- Refer to the following for the correct WSM section:
- Expedition/Navigator/Town Car: Section 413-13
- Lincoln LS: Section 413-00
- Reprogram the PAM using the following procedure:
- a. Start vehicle and place transmission gear selector into Reverse (R), wait a minimum of 10 seconds.
- b. Shift the gear selector into Drive (D), drive the vehicle ABOVE 25 MPH (40 Km/h) for a minimum of 15 seconds.
- c. Stop the vehicle and cycle the key off, then back on.
- d. Repeat Steps a, b, and c, three (3) more times for a total of four (4) times.
THE IDS NOW HAS THE CAPABILITY TO CHECK THE PIDS FOR THE RADAR SENSORS. USE THESE PIDS TO VERIFY OPERATION OF THE TWO (2) RADAR SENSORS.
"
I purchased a new module and it worked right out of the box. I did the programming by following the instructions, but I am not sure it was necessary as it worked every time I put in reverse while driving it around programming it. I first replaced it with several out of the junk yard, but the problem never went away. It worked just fine in the morning until it reached about 70 degrees, then the beep and dreaded check back up aid messsge would appear. If it stayed cool all day, it would work all day. All of them did that until I bit the bullet and bought a new one. Works great now.
