Description
Control module, pump, unit, cube ABS ESP ATE CITROEN C5
It is a 2006 2.0 HDI RHR Estate
With a piece of wiring harness
Part description
ABS/ESP unit ATE (control module + hydraulic pump) designed for Citroën C5 II cars. This is a complete ABS/ESP “cube” assembly including a piece of wiring harness, which can greatly facilitate wiring when repairing a damaged installation or replacing a connector part. This part is key to the proper functioning of the brake system and stabilization assistants (ABS/ESP) – in the event of a malfunction, it will typically be manifested by the limitation or failure of these functions.
Often Searched by Unit Numbers (ATE/PSA) – Below we list all available codes for easy tracking and matching to an existing part.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for ABS/ESP module replacement, the exact steps may vary depending on the specific design and equipment of the car. Below is a practical procedure used when replacing this type of part.
1) Before assembly
- Compare all part numbers (PSA/ATE) with the old part: especially 9657061080 and 10.0960-1147.3.
- Check whether a piece of wiring harness is included and whether the wires, insulation or connectors are damaged.
- Visually check the condition of the unit body: cracks, traces of brake fluid, mechanical damage, oxidized pins in the connector.
- Recommendation from practice: before disassembly, take a photo of the wiring and the position of the connectors for flawless composition.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Common workshop tools (wrench/socket set, screwdrivers, pliers)
- Suitable cleaning agents (contact cleaner, rags)
- Diagnostics for a basic check of the system after assembly (common practice)
- Material for securing cabling securely (tapes, etc.)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare access to the ABS/ESP unit.
- Disconnect the battery (typically always with electronic modules and wiring work).
- Clean the area around the unit to prevent dirt from getting into the connectors and surrounding parts.
- Disconnect the electrical connector(s) of the unit – do the unlocking carefully, without prying over the edges of the connector.
- If wiring work is part of the repair: check the original harness and prepare the connection/storage so that it is not in tension or in contact with sharp edges.
- Dismantle the unit mount and remove the old part.
- Install the new used part in the holder/storage and tighten the fasteners appropriately according to common practice (specific values are governed by the manufacturer).
- Connect the connector(s) and check that the latch “clicks” properly and the connector fits without play.
- Store and secure cabling so that it is not subject to vibration, heat or friction.
- Connect the battery.
- Perform a basic check of the instrument panel (lights) and brake system function according to the usual procedure.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check if the system does not behave abnormally after starting (ABS/ESP lights constantly on, etc.).
- Verify that the connectors hold and that the wiring is not rubbing or pulling anywhere.
- Do a careful test drive and verify brake function in safe conditions.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Unsecured connector → after assembly, always physically check the securing and proper seating.
- Damage to cabling (pulling, friction, sharp edges) → properly store the bundle, use protection and fixation.
- Part swapping based on similar appearance → follow the ATE/PSA numbers on the label/unit.
- Battery not disconnected when handling the electrical installation → always disconnect, you reduce the risk of damage to the electronics.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Moisture and corrosion in the area of connectors and pins (oxidized contacts, transition resistors).
- Wiring damage (abrasion, broken wires, bad harness repairs) – this item includes a piece of wiring harness which often solves the connector/installation problem.
- Vibration and mechanical stress leading to loosening of connectors or damage to the attachment.
- Electrical overvoltage / bad grounding which can damage the electronics of the module.
- Age and thermal load – gradual degradation of electronic components over time.
