Esp Sensor Unit

The transverse acceleration sensor -G200-, the rotation rate sensor -G202- and the longitudinal acceleration sensor -G251- are installed in one housing, together with the electro-mechanical parking brake control module -J540- under the center console.

After replacing the ESP sensor unit -G419- with the electro-mechanical parking brake control module, the ABS control module -J104- must be coded and a basic setting of the brake system (Electro-Mechanical Parking Brake) must be performed.

CAUTION:

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

-- Disconnect connector -1- from ESP sensor unit.
