Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP control module by ATE is specifically designed for the Citroën C5 I, providing reliable management of the vehicle’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This essential component integrates the braking control unit, pump, and electronic module to ensure optimal vehicle stability and safety under various driving conditions.
Function and Importance
The ABS ESP control module manages hydraulic pressure and monitors wheel speed sensors to prevent wheel lock-up during abrupt braking and to enhance vehicle stability by modulating brake forces at each wheel. It plays a critical role in avoiding skidding and maintaining control, especially on slippery surfaces or during emergency maneuvers.
Applicable Vehicle Models
This control module is compatible with Citroën C5 I models, covering a range of years typically from 2001 to 2008. It also fits various PSA group models within similar electronic system configurations, making it a versatile choice for technicians and DIY car enthusiasts working on these vehicles.
Installation and Replacement
Replacing the ABS ESP control module involves removing the old electronic unit located usually in the engine bay or near the brake booster, disconnecting electrical connectors and hydraulic lines carefully. Reinstallation requires bleeding the brake system to remove air and ensure proper hydraulic pressure. The unit must be coded or programmed to the vehicle’s onboard computer systems to function correctly, so professional diagnostic equipment is recommended during installation.
Common Failure Symptoms and Maintenance
Typical signs indicating module failure include dashboard ABS or ESP warning lights, reduced braking efficiency, or unstable handling under braking. These failures may result from worn or damaged internal components, exposure to moisture, or electrical faults. Prompt replacement restores full braking and stability functions, ensuring safety and compliance with road regulations.
