Description
Overview
High-quality ABS/ESP control module and pump assembly manufactured by ATE for Citroën C3 1.6 16V Sensodrive. Supplied with a short length of wiring. The unit is tested and fully functional and is commonly sought by part number for direct-fit replacements on compatible PSA vehicles.
Features & Function
- Electronic control unit that manages ABS and ESP functions by modulating brake pressure during slip or emergency braking events.
- Integrated hydraulic pump restores brake pressure to maintain vehicle stability and braking performance when needed.
- Direct replacement when one of the OEM part numbers listed below matches the vehicle. Ideal for professional workshops and competent DIYers who perform brake system repairs.
Installation & Replacement
Before starting, disconnect the vehicle battery. The ABS/ESP unit is usually located in the engine bay next to the brake master cylinder. Remove electrical connectors and hydraulic lines carefully, contain any brake fluid, and avoid introducing air into the system. After fitting the unit, bleed the brake system thoroughly and clear fault codes with a diagnostic tool to restore full functionality.
Common Faults & Durability
Typical failure causes include electronic component faults, water ingress, connector corrosion and hydraulic wear of the pump. Environmental exposure and moisture are common contributors to electrical failures. Lifespan depends on driving conditions and maintenance; prompt diagnosis and replacement prevent prolonged braking faults and safety issues.
