Control Module, Separating From Hydraulic Unit

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Replacing Control Modules

Replace the control module:

CAUTION:

A control module that was removed may not be attached to a different hydraulic unit.

NOTE:

Before removing control module, read out DTC memory and print out fault code if necessary.

The control module and the hydraulic unit can be separated.

The ABS Hydraulic Unit -N55- with the ABS Control Module -J104- must be removed in order to separate the control module and the hydraulic unit.

The replacement should only be done by trained personnel.

Removing 

CAUTION:

Separate the ABS Control Module -J104- from the ABS Hydraulic Unit -N55- only when they are removed.

-- Remove the hydraulic unit, refer to ABS Control Module -J104- /ABS Hydraulic Unit -N55-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

NOTE:

The ESD Work Surface VAS6613 has sufficient grounding to protect against an electrostatic discharge.

-- Place the hydraulic unit with the control module onto the ESD Work Surface VAS6613.

-- Remove and dispose of the bolts -1-.

-- Remove the control module upward holding it vertically.

NOTE:

Be careful not the hook the valve coils when removing them otherwise the valve coils could get stuck on the mount.

CAUTION:

There is a risk of destroying the hydraulic unit.

  • Cover the open hydraulic unit. Protect the hydraulic unit, the sealing surfaces, the valve bodies and the pressure sensor from dirt or from getting damaged.
  • Do not use battery voltage to check the pump motor otherwise contact surfaces could get burned.
  • Protect the contact surfaces on the pressure sensor against mechanical damage and electrostatic discharge. the ESD Work Surface VAS6613 grounds the technician sufficiently to protect again overcharging components.
