Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP Pump ATE with Cable Harness is designed for Citroën C5 II vehicles, ensuring optimal functionality of the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability program (ESP). The pump plays a critical role in modulating brake pressure during emergency braking and stability control maneuvers, enhancing driver safety and vehicle control on various road conditions.
Function and Importance
The ABS ESP pump regulates hydraulic pressure within the braking system, preventing wheel lock-up while enabling the ESP system to intervene when the vehicle loses traction. The cable harness included ensures proper electrical connection to the vehicle control units, enabling precise communication and system responsiveness. Failure or deterioration of this pump can lead to reduced braking efficiency and compromised vehicle safety systems.
Application and Replacement
This component is specifically intended for Citroën C5 II models, compatible with multiple product codes often referenced by mechanics, including 9656419780, 10.0960-1146.3, and 10.0206-0188.4. Replacing this pump typically involves disconnecting the battery, removing related brake system covers, unplugging the existing module with cable harness, and installing the new unit with careful reconnection of all electrical and hydraulic connections. A proper scan tool should be used afterward to reset and calibrate the ABS and ESP systems.
Durability and Common Failure Reasons
Over time, the ABS ESP pump may fail due to internal wear, corrosion, or electrical issues caused by moisture or vibration. Signs of malfunction include warning lights on the dashboard, inconsistent brake pedal feel, or reduced vehicle stability during braking. Regular maintenance and timely replacement can prevent further braking system damage and maintain optimal safety performance.
