Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP ATE pump with cable harness is specifically designed for Citroën C5 II models, providing a crucial component for the vehicle’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). The pump regulates hydraulic pressure within the braking system to maintain optimal control and safety during braking, especially on slippery or uneven surfaces.
Commonly sought under product numbers 9659770580, 10.0960-1165.3, and 10.0206-0233.4, this unit is essential for restoring full ABS and ESP functionality when the original pump fails or malfunctions. The package includes a piece of cable harness to facilitate straightforward installation or replacement.
Function and Importance
The ABS ESP pump modulates brake fluid pressure to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking, while the ESP helps maintain vehicle stability by controlling brake force distribution. Failure of this pump can lead to warning lights on the dashboard, reduced braking efficiency, and compromised vehicle safety.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing the ABS ESP pump typically involves disconnecting the battery, removing protective panels to access the ABS unit, disconnecting the old pump and cable harness, and installing the new pump ensuring all connections are secure. It is recommended to bleed the brake system after replacement to remove any air and ensure proper hydraulic function.
The lifespan of ABS pumps varies but can often last 100,000 kilometers or more depending on driving conditions and maintenance. Common reasons for failure include electrical faults, internal hydraulic leaks, or wear from contaminants in the brake fluid.
