Testing the brakes on a roller dynamometer
- 4X4 vehicles only
On 4X4 vehicles a brake test on a roller
dynamometer must only be performed under the
following conditions.
• The brake test must not exceed a duration of 1 minute.
• Ignition key in position 0.
• The roller speed must not exceed 5 km/h.
ABS/ESP module or hydraulic control
unit (HCU)
E96821

23
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).
Combined yaw rate sensor and lateral
acceleration sensor / longitudinal
acceleration sensor
E96822
The sensor is attached to the floor crossmember
at the front right. For vehicles with 4x4 drive, a
longitudinal acceleration sensor is also integrated
in the same housing.
The following must be taken into account when
removing/installing or replacing the combined yaw
rate sensor and lateral/longitudinal acceleration
sensor:
• Ensure the correct installation position of the yaw rate sensor and lateral/longitudinal
acceleration sensor.

Front wheel sensor
E96823
The ABS sensor rings are built into the seals in the
front wheel bearings. The wheel sensors are joined
to the main wiring harness using a separate
connecting cable.
Rear wheel sensor
E96824
4X4:The ABS sensor rings are pressed onto the
rear drive shafts. The wheel sensors are joined to
the main wiring harness using a separate
connecting cable.
4X2: The ABS sensor rings are built into the hubs
of the rear wheel bearings. When installing a
replacement bearing, ensure that the new part is
aligned correctly. The wheel sensors are joined to
the main wiring harness using a separate
connecting cable.

Vehicles with ESP are equipped with an
opto-electronic steering wheel rotation sensor as
an integral part of the clockspring.
The following must be taken into account when
removing/installing or replacing the opto-electronic
steering wheel rotation sensor:
• If installing a new clockspring, remove theclockspring locking screw.
