Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP control module by ATE is designed specifically for Citroën C5 I models, playing a critical role in the vehicle’s brake and stability control systems. It integrates ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) functions to enhance driving safety by preventing wheel lock-up during braking and maintaining vehicle stability under various driving conditions.
Function and Importance
The control unit manages the hydraulic braking pressure and monitors wheel speed sensors to modulate braking force efficiently. This reduces skidding risks during abrupt stops or on slippery surfaces. The integration of ESP allows the system to correct oversteer or understeer, helping the driver maintain control in challenging maneuvers.

Compatibility and Installation
This module is compatible with the first generation Citroën C5, widely used in European markets. Installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing the old ABS ESP module from the engine bay or wheel well area, and connecting the replacement unit, ideally calibrated via diagnostic tools to ensure optimal system integration.
Durability and Failure Causes
While these modules are built to last, common failure causes include electrical faults, corrosion, or water ingress damaging internal electronics. Symptoms often involve warning lights on the dashboard, traction control loss, or abnormal braking behavior. Replacing this unit restores full brake and stability system functionality, ensuring continued vehicle safety.
