Abs Control Module Installation Note

  1. Verify that the sealing surface of the Hydraulic Unit is clean. If there are scratches, grooves or dirt, do not mechanically rework. Carefully remove any dirt or seal residue with plastic tools only. The use of chemical solvents is not permitted.
  2. Install the spring plate properly. When re-installing, insert the spring plate over the valve bodies in the correct position to preload the spring and to center the solenoid coils.
