Description
The ABS ESP Control Module ATE for Citroën C3 is an essential component for maintaining the functionality and safety of the vehicle’s braking system. Specifically designed for Citroën C3 models equipped with a 1.6L 16V Sensodrive engine, this unit integrates the ABS pump and electronic stability program (ESP) to ensure optimal vehicle stability under various driving conditions.
This control module is often identified by product codes such as 9651412380, 10.0206-0133.4, and includes additional part numbers like 4541C1. It offers compatibility with a wide range of PSA Peugeot Citroën vehicles, particularly models within the C2 and C3 I series. The component typically comes complete with a piece of the wiring harness for easy installation.
Function and Importance: The ABS pump within the module controls hydraulic pressure in the braking system, preventing wheel lock-up during emergency braking, while the ESP function helps maintain traction and directional control by modulating braking force on individual wheels. Failure of this module can result in reduced braking efficiency and compromised vehicle stability, hence timely replacement or repair is critical.
Replacement and Maintenance: The ABS ESP module may fail due to electrical faults, pump wear, or internal sensor issues, often after prolonged use or exposure to moisture. Replacement involves disconnecting the battery, removing the damaged module, and installing the new unit with the associated wiring. Professional calibration via diagnostic tools is recommended to ensure system functionality post-installation.
