Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electromechanical Parking Brake Control Module: Notes
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 -G419-, the ABS control module -J104- must be coded and a basic setting of the brake system (electro-mechanical parking brake) must be performed.
Excessive shaking (for example, dropping, impact) may damage the ESP sensor unit. ESP sensor unit must then no longer be used.
