The part is commonly searched and referenced by product codes 0265005290, 9650452180 and 454916 — include these numbers when searching to quickly find the correct replacement.
Product Overview
This Bosch-manufactured ESP sensor is intended for workshop professionals and DIY mechanics who require a reliable replacement part for stability control systems. The sensor translates angular motion into electrical signals for the ESP control module. Proper operation is essential for Traction Control, Electronic Stability Program and related safety functions.
Compatibility
- Peugeot 307
- Peugeot 607
- Peugeot 807
- Citroën C8
- Citroën Xsara Picasso
How It Works
The sensor measures vehicle rotation (yaw) and dynamic movements and sends that data to the ESP/ABS ECU. The control unit compares input from the sensor with wheel speed sensors and steering angle sensors to decide whether to intervene (brake individual wheels or reduce engine torque) to maintain stability.
Replacement Procedure
Routine replacement can be performed in a typical workshop environment. General steps:
- Disconnect the battery before starting work to avoid electrical damage and false fault codes.
- Locate the sensor (usually mounted on the body or bulkhead near the center of the vehicle or under the center console depending on model).
- Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the mounting bolts.
- Replace with the new sensor, ensuring correct orientation and secure mounting. Reconnect the electrical connector.
- Reconnect the battery, clear stored fault codes with a diagnostic tool and verify proper operation. In some cases, an ESP/ABS calibration or basic system check may be required.
Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect The Battery Before Removing Or Installing The Sensor.
- Follow Manufacturer Fastening Torque Specifications Where Available And Avoid Over-Tightening.
- Ensure The Sensor Is Installed With The Correct Orientation To Maintain Accurate Measurements.
- Use A Diagnostic Scanner To Clear Fault Codes And Confirm System Communication After Replacement.
- Protect Connectors From Corrosion And Ensure Wiring Harness Integrity When Reinstalling.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Water Ingress Or Corrosion Of The Connector Leading To Intermittent Signals.
- Mechanical Damage From Impact Or Road Debris.
- Wiring Harness Damage Or Connector Faults Causing Signal Loss.
- Age-Related Electronic Drift Or Component Wear Leading To Incorrect Readings.
- Exposure To Excessive Heat Or Chemicals During Repairs.
