Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits or damage to the electronics.
- Locate the sensor according to the vehicle repair manual—depending on the model it can be mounted on the vehicle body or close to the ABS/ESP hydraulic unit. Handle the sensor carefully to avoid mechanical shock.
- Unplug the electrical connector, remove mounting fasteners, install the replacement sensor and reconnect firmly. Protect connectors from dirt and corrosion during reassembly.
- After replacement, clear fault codes and perform sensor initialization/calibration with a compatible diagnostic tool (DiagBox or other PSA-capable scan tool) to ensure correct ESP/ABS operation.
