Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP control module by ATE is designed specifically for the Citroën C3 Pluriel 1.6V 16V Sensodrive models. It integrates the ABS pump, the ESP control unit, and essential electronics into one compact module, ensuring the vehicle’s braking and electronic stability systems operate efficiently.
The module is delivered with a piece of the original wiring harness to facilitate straightforward installation. This is particularly beneficial for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts performing repairs or replacements on the braking system.
Function and Importance
The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents wheel lock-up during sudden braking, enhancing vehicle control. Meanwhile, the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) assists in maintaining directional stability during dynamic driving conditions by adjusting braking pressure to individual wheels.
Failure of this module can lead to loss of braking assistance and vehicle stability control, creating unsafe driving conditions. Common causes of failure include electrical faults, pump wear, or sensor malfunctions over time.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing the ABS ESP control module involves disconnecting the battery for safety, removing the faulty module along with its wiring, and installing the new unit with supplied connectors. Calibration and system diagnosis may be required afterward using appropriate diagnostic tools to ensure system functionality.
Under normal operating conditions, these modules can last many years, but exposure to water ingress, electrical surges, or mechanical damage can accelerate their wear.
