Electromechanical Parking Brake Control Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Volkswagen Passat, 2009 Volkswagen Passat, 2008 Volkswagen Passat, 2007 Volkswagen Passat, and 2006 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The Electromechanical Parking Brake Control Module -J540- and the ESP Sensor Unit -G419- are installed in one housing under the center console.

After replacing the electromechanical parking brake control module with the ESP sensor unit , the ABS control module -J104- must be coded and a basic setting of the "Brake system" (electromechanical parking brake) must be performed.

WARNING:

Excessive shaking (for example, dropping, impact) may damage the ESP sensor unit. ESP Sensor Unit must then no longer be used.

Removing

-- Remove the center console. Refer to Removal and Installation .

-- Remove the three nuts -arrows-.

-- Disconnect the connector -1- from electromechanical parking brake control module.

-- Remove electromechanical parking brake control module.

Installing

-- Install in reverse order of removal.

When installing electromechanical parking brake control module make sure it is correctly seated in its mounting and is free of stress.

NOTE:

Do not use the securing nuts to forcibly position the electromechanical parking brake control module.

-- Tighten the nuts to 9 Nm.

-- Code the ABS control module with the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "Guided Fault Finding".

A Steering Angle Sensor -G85-, Transverse Acceleration Sensor -G200-, Brake Pressure Sensor 1 -G201- and Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor -G251- basic setting must be done.

-- Perform basic setting for "Brake system" (Electromechanical Parking Brake).

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester, connecting and selecting functions, refer to VAS 5051, CONNECTING AND SELECTION FUNCTIONS .
