Description
Control module, pump, unit, cube ABS ESP ATE CITROEN C5
With a piece of wiring
Part description
This part is an ABS/ESP module (hydraulic block with pump and control unit) of the ATE brand designed for Citroën C5 cars (according to the documents). It solves the function of the ABS and stabilization system (ESP) – i.e. pressure control in the brake system and stabilization interventions based on signals from sensors.
The part is a piece of wiring, which makes it easier to compare the connectors and possible assembly when replacing. Thanks to the listed OEM/ATE codes, the part is easy to find even when searching by product number.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for the ABS/ESP module, replacement may require a professional procedure of bleeding the brakes and then verifying the function with diagnostics. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific car design and brake system type.
1) Before assembly
- Carefully compare the codes from the label/marking on the original part with this piece: 10.0960-1147.3, 10.0206-0189.4, 9657061080, 4542F0/4542F1/4541G1/4541G2.
- Check the compatibility of the connectors and their securing (the attached piece of cabling will also help).
- Visually verify that there is no damage to the unit body, connectors or threads/mounts, and that there are no signs of leaks or corrosion.
2) Necessary tools and materials (in general)
- Basic set of gola/albus/Torx according to design
- Brake pipe tools (brake pipe wrenches) and means for gently loosening connections
- Cleaner for electrical connectors, clean rags
- Equipment for bleeding the brakes (manual or pressure)
- Diagnostics for final system verification (recommended)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery (typically recommended for electronic modules).
- Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare access to the ABS/ESP module.
- Clean the area around the unit so that dirt does not get into the connectors and brake joints.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors (carefully, do not bend the fuses).
- If brake lines are disconnected, mark them for proper reconnection and work to minimize contamination and fluid leakage.
- Dismantle the original module from the mount.
- Mount the new (used) module in the holder/storage and check for proper seating.
- Connect the brake lines (if disconnected) and tighten the connections appropriately according to the manufacturer’s normal practice.
- Connect the electrical connectors and verify that the fuses are properly engaged.
- Connect the battery and do a basic check to make sure there are no brake fluid leaks and that the wiring is not stretched.
- Bleed the brake system (a diagnostic procedure is typically required for some systems).
- Perform a diagnostic function check and delete any stored faults (if needed after replacement).
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check the tightness of all brake connections and the condition of the connectors.
- Verify that the brake pedal has a stable operation and the brakes work evenly.
- After a short test drive, check again for possible drips and ABS/ESP behavior (indication on the instrument panel).
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Swapping lines/connectors → mark pipes and connectors before disassembly, take pictures of the condition.
- Damage to connector fuses → unlock in the right direction and without prying with force.
- No/poor venting → use correct procedure and equipment; if necessary, supplement the check with diagnostics.
- Neglected leak check → always visually check the connections again after assembly and after driving.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Moisture and corrosion in the area of connectors or unit body (leakage, oxidation of contacts).
- Electrical defects in the vehicle installation (voltage fluctuations, bad grounding, damaged wiring).
- Mechanical stress and vibration leading to loosening of connections or damage to the attachment.
- Pollution in the brake system and long-term unresolved maintenance, which can adversely affect the hydraulic part.
- Incompetent intervention during the previous repair (torn threads, damaged connectors, incorrect handling).
