Description
Dual sensor, kinetic ESP sensor ATE for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles.
This ATE kinetic ESP sensor is a direct-fit safety component designed for Citroën and Peugeot models. It provides the electronic stability program (ESP) and ABS control unit with precise vehicle dynamics data, helping maintain traction and stability under braking and cornering. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics searching by part number (9641342980 / 10.0985-1101.4 / 454910), this sensor restores proper ESP functionality and fault-free communication with the vehicle’s safety systems.
Key Benefits
- Direct replacement for listed Citroën and Peugeot models — simple swap-in part numbering for fast identification.
- Precise motion sensing to support ESP and ABS algorithms, improving vehicle stability and braking safety.
- Robust ATE build quality suitable for everyday road conditions.
- Useful for mechanics and competent DIYers who diagnose by fault codes or part number search.

How The Sensor Works
The kinetic ESP sensor measures vehicle motion parameters used by the ESP/ABS control unit to detect yaw, lateral acceleration or other dynamic changes. The control unit uses this information to modulate braking on individual wheels and adjust engine torque when required, preventing skids and maintaining directional stability.
How To Replace
General replacement steps (vehicle-specific details vary):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting.
- Access the sensor by removing the necessary trim or central console panels as required by the model.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove mounting fasteners.
- Install the new sensor, secure fasteners to the correct torque, and reconnect the connector.
- Reconnect the battery and clear related fault codes with a diagnostic tool.
- Perform sensor calibration or ESP relearn procedure with appropriate diagnostic equipment after installation (required on many models to ensure correct system operation).
Installation Recommendations
- Always Isolate The Battery Before Working On Electronic Components To Avoid Damage.
- Follow Vehicle Manufacturer Access And Removal Procedures; Some Models Require Interior Trim Or Console Removal.
- Use A Diagnostic Tool To Clear Fault Codes And To Perform Any Required Sensor Recalibration/Initialization.
- Inspect Connectors And Wiring For Corrosion Or Damage; Replace Any Compromised Clips Or Looms To Prevent Recurring Faults.
Why The Part Fails Most Often
Common causes of sensor failure include water ingress or corrosion at the connector, mechanical damage from impacts or accidents, wiring harness faults, and internal electronic degradation over time. Symptoms of a failing kinetic ESP sensor typically include ESP or ABS warning lights on the dash, fault codes related to vehicle dynamics sensors, irregular braking behaviour or unexpected activation of stability control systems.
Typical Symptoms To Look For
- ESP/ABS Warning Light Illuminated
- Stored Fault Codes Indicating Sensor Or Signal Issues
- Unusual Stability Control Interventions Or Braking Feel
Compatibility And Identification
This sensor is commonly identified by the OE and aftermarket references listed above. Use the part numbers 9641342980, 10.0985-1101.4 or 454910 when searching to ensure correct fitment for the cited Citroën and Peugeot models.
Notes For Professionals
Engineers and technicians should treat the sensor replacement as an electronic-system repair: check wiring integrity, confirm correct mechanical mounting, and perform the manufacturer-recommended calibration or relearn procedure after installation to restore full ESP functionality.
