ABS/ESP module or hydraulic control unit (HCU)

The ABS/ESP module or the hydraulic control unit (HCU) is mounted on the left-hand side of the bulkhead. Diagnosis is performed with the aid of a diagnostic tester.

The following components can be replaced separately or as a unit:

• Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
• ABS/ESP module
• Mounting Bracket

The following must be taken into account when removing/installing or renewing the ABS/ESP module or the hydraulic control unit (HCU):

• Only hydraulic control units (HCU) which are pre-filled with brake fluid are available for service operations.
• After replacing the HCU it is not necessary to bleed the system via the diagnostic tester.
• After replacing the brake fluid it is also only necessary to perform standard bleeding.
• The blanking caps/plugs must not be removed until the brake tubes are ready to be connected.
• If accidentally dropped or knocked install a new hydraulic control unit (HCU) and module assembly.
• When the ABS/ESP module is removed/installed or replaced, it is necessary to reconfigure the ABS/ESP module with the aid of the diagnostic tester once all of the installation work has been performed.

  Refer to: Module Configuration (418-01 Module Configuration, General Procedures).
