Description
Product Overview
This ABS and ESP control module with integrated pump and wiring harness is designed specifically for Citroën C3 Pluriel 1.6V 16V Sensodrive models. It plays a critical role in managing the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability program (ESP), helping to maintain optimal brake pressure and improve vehicle stability during dynamic driving conditions.
Function and Importance
The module controls the hydraulic pump that regulates brake pressure at each wheel, which prevents wheel lockup during hard braking and helps maintain traction. The ESP component enhances vehicle safety by detecting and reducing loss of traction, thus improving handling on slippery roads or during sudden maneuvers. Failure of this module can result in warning lights on the dashboard and compromised braking performance, which may require immediate replacement.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing the ABS ESP module usually requires disconnecting the battery, removing the old unit along with its electrical connectors and hydraulic lines, and installing the new part along with secure wiring. It is critical to properly bleed the brake system after replacement to prevent air pockets and ensure full braking efficiency. The module typically lasts for many years but can fail due to electrical faults, water ingress, or wear in the pump motor.
