ABS Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (ABSCM&H/U): Replacement

2007 Subaru Outback Limited, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION Replacement
CAUTION:
  • Because the seal of the ABSCM cannot be replaced, do not pull or peel it by lifting it up.
  • Because the screw of the H/U will become slightly worn in every replacement procedure, 5 times is the maximum number of times for replacement. If a problem is found such as not being able to torque the screw to specifications even before 5 replacement operations are performed, replace the H/U body.
  • When installing the ABSCM, always use new screws.
  • When the sealing surface of the ABSCM or H/U is dirty or damaged and it cannot be removed or repaired, replace with a new part.
  1. Remove the ABSCM&H/U bracket. < Ref. to REMOVALΒ , ABS Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (ABSCM&H/U). >
  2. To prevent entry of foreign objects and brake fluid leakage, plug the oil pressure port of the ABSCM&H/U using a screw plug, etc.
  3. Set the pump motor section of the removed ABSCM&H/U face down on a vise.
    NOTE: Before securing a part in a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate or cloth between the part and the vise.
