[. . . ] Only remove replacement parts from packaging immediately prior to installation. When the system is open do not work with compressed air and do not move the vehicle. Make sure that no brake fluid enters harness connectors. During painting operations, the electronic control module can be exposed to a max. temperature of 95 C (203 F) for only a short period, and to a maximum of 85 C (185 F) for longer periods (approx. 2 hours).

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and ABS with Electronic Differential Lock (ABS/EDL), Teves 20 GI
General information The ABS or ABS/EDL braking system is divided diagonally. Brake pedal pressure is boosted pneumatically, by the vacuum brake booster. Vehicles with Teves 20 GI ABS or ABS/EDL do not have a mechanical brake pressure regulator. Specially matched software in the ABS control module regulates rear axle brake pressure.
The ABS hydraulic unit -a- and ABS control module b- together make up one component. Separating them for service is only possible after the assembly has been removed. New ABS control units supplied as replacement parts from the Parts department are not coded, and require coding after installation: Repair Manual, Brake System On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Repair Group 01 Malfunctions of the ABS or ABS/EDL system do not influence the brake system or the vacuum brake booster. The conventional brake system remains functional even without ABS. Before working on the ABS or ABS/EDL system, determine the cause of the malfunction using the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) program % Repair Manual, ABS & ABS/EDL On Board Diagnostic.

WARNING!Before working on the ABS or ABS/EDL system, disconnect the battery Ground (GND) strap. [. . . ] engines)
It is not intended that repair work be carried out on the vane pump. If complaints are received determine cause with the help of pressure and leakage tests. Note: Pumps supplied as spare parts are not filled with oil. Fill the pump with G 002 000 hydraulic oil to rotate it by hand, otherwise the pump may be damaged or noisy during operation. [. . . ]
