Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP ATE Control Module is designed specifically for the Citroën C5 I, serving as a crucial component within the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability program (ESP). It integrates the control module, pump, and unit into a single assembly, ensuring optimal braking performance and vehicle stability under various driving conditions.
Function and Importance
The module controls the hydraulic pressure applied to each brake to prevent wheel lock-up during emergency braking or slippery surfaces, contributing to improved safety and handling. The ESP functionality assists in maintaining directional control by modulating brake pressure and engine power when wheel slip is detected. This part is vital for maintaining the vehicle’s safety systems in peak condition.
Compatibility and Application
This ABS ESP unit is compatible with Citroën C5 I models, identifiable by product numbers 9648606980, 10.0206-0072.4, and 10.0960-1118.3. It is also often referenced by secondary codes such as 454192, 454193, 454297, and 454298. Suitable for use by professional mechanics and skilled DIY enthusiasts who perform maintenance or replacements on braking systems.
Installation and Maintenance
Replacing the ABS ESP control module typically involves removing the wheel arch liners and accessing the brake system’s electronic control area. It is recommended to disconnect the vehicle battery and carefully detach electrical connectors to avoid damage. Periodic diagnostics of the ABS and ESP systems may indicate the need for replacement due to sensor faults, pump failure, or electrical issues. Regular brake fluid changes and system checks can help prolong the lifespan of the module.
