Default ABS Control Module Problem Solved!!

Is your cars ABS & traction control light on? Does your car beep at you three times during every start-up? Is your scan tool having trouble communicating with your ABS control unit?
If these symptoms are present, then usually replacing of the electronic ABS control unit, which is attached to the side of the hydraulic pump assembly in the engine compartment, is the fix for these symptoms. ECS Tuning does not guarantee that replacing of the ABS control module will repair your ABS system with these symptons, proper diagnosis of the ABS system still needs to be performed.

These OEM modules were just released by V/W & Audi as a repair prodecedure instead of replacing the very pricey pump assembly. In the past, in order to replace the eletronic portion of the ABS pump assembly, customers had to purchase the OEM assembly as a complete unit, most of the units are/were well over $1000.00. While these modules are not in-expensive, they are still very cost effective repair procedure compared to the price of the complete pump assemblys. Some of the complete pump assemblys were around the $2000 range in recent past.

Application Note
There are many pump assemblys on the A4/A6/S4/Passats. All have the part #'s are engraved on top of the pump assembly. You must know the part # off your pump assembly in order to order the correct repair module. There are 8 different repair modules, so it is important to know what your pump assemblys OEM part # is. Our website list what module you need to order, with what pump assembly. If you do not see your specific pump assemblies # or have any questions on applications for these modules, please contact us, we will be glad to help.

To search for the correct repair module for you car, please click on the appropiate model on our dropdown menu, then in the "braking" section, select "ABS" & you will see the repair modules there.

Default thats old news... kris posted the numbers for the kits first and then I did the same

just a few days later.

We've been having difficulty acquiring those kits for our customers recently because they have been on backorder and there are also hundreds of orders for them right now.

Also audi no longer pays for complete ABS pump replacement... the kit must be used first.

Default For 250 and a three year warranty, why would anyone not send their unit in for upgrade?
