ESP system sensors and components, 
description
 
     
Control module for ABS with EDL/ASR/ESP -
J104-  
      The control module is combined with the 
hydraulic unit as one unit. It controls the ESP, 
ABS, EDL, ASR, EBD and ETR (Engine Torque 
Reduction) functions. When ignition is switched 
on, the control module performs a self-test. All 
electrical connections are monitored constantly 
and the solenoid valves are periodically checked 
for function. If the control module fails entirely, 
only the normal brake system will be available.  
     
Steering angle sensor -G85-  
      The steering angle sensor is housed together 
with the airbag spiral spring/return spring with 
slip ring. It is located on the steering column 
between the steering column switch and steering 
wheel. It transmits the steering wheel's steering 
angle to the ABS control module -J104 for 
ABS/ASR/ESP via the CAN-bus. After replacing 
the control module or the sensor, a zeroing must 
be performed. For malfunctioning sensor, the 
ESP function is not available.

Sensor for transverse acceleration -G200-  
      The sensor for transverse acceleration transmits 
the values of lateral acceleration (cornering 
force) to the ABS control module -J104 for 
ABS/ASR/ESP. After replacing the control 
module or the sensor, a zeroing must be 
performed. For malfunctioning sensor, the ESP 
function is not available.  
     
Sender for rotation rate -G202-  
      The sender for rotation rate collects data, so-
called yaw moments or rotation rates, that 
attempt to spin the vehicle on the vertical axis 
and it sends these to control module -J104- for 
ABS/ASR/ESP. For malfunctioning sensor, the 
ESP function is not available.  
     
Sender 1 for brake booster -G201-  
      The brake pedal position sensor recognizes the 
current brake pressure in the brake circuit and 
sends this data to the ABS control module 
(w/EDL) -J104-. From this, the control module 
calculates the wheel braking powers and 
therefore the vertical forces affecting the vehicle. 
If the sensor fails, the ESP function is not 
available.

Examples: 
    
During oversteering, the rear of the vehicle breaks out toward the outside 
of the curve. The vehicle rotates more on its vertical axis than required to 
maneuver through the curve. Braking the outside front wheel counters the 
oversteering effect.  
    
In understeering, it is the front of the vehicle that does not follow the 
curve. The front of the vehicle breaks out. The vehicle rotates less on its 
vertical axis than is required to maneuver through the curve. By braking 
the rear inside wheel, the braking force generated intensifies the rotational 
movement of the vehicle.  
Component locations (except for new components) are the same as for 
the Bosch 5.3 components. The procedures for removal and installation of 
the components are found in:

The indicator lights did not go out after the self-test. However, the red 
"brake system malfunction" symbol did not go on. The On Board 
Diagnostic recognized a malfunction, which deactivated the 
ABS/EDL/ASR/ESP. However, the "Electronic Brake Distribution" (EBD) 
remained activated. Check DTC memory   page 01

Check the voltage supply for the red "brake system malfunction" symbol. 
Carry out "Electrical test", step 18. If the control is malfunctioning, see 
the next example for lighted indicator lights. During the last drive, a dynamic malfunction of the wheel speed sensor 
occurred or a malfunction in the ABS return flow pump -V39- occurred. 
In this case, the indicator lights automatically go off after the vehicle is 
started, and has exceeded a speed of 2.75 km/h or a check of the return 
flow pump indicated it is OK.

the ignition is switched on the red "brake system malfunction" symbol goes 
on.  
WARNING!  
The brake system is only partially functional. Because brake pressure at 
the rear wheels is no longer regulated vie Electronic Brake Distribution 
(EBD), the rear wheels can lock even during light braking (excessive 
braking at rear axle). This can cause the rear of the vehicle to break 
loose and thereby cause and accident.  
Note: For vehicles with automatic transmission, the red "brake system 
malfunction" symbol does not appear immediately after the ignition is 
switched on. Instead, the note "Depress brake pedal before engaging gear" 
appears in the display. Press the brake pedal and select a gear. The red 
brake warning light appears, if the light control is working properly.  
A malfunction deactivated the ABS/EDL, ASR/ESP and the "Electronic 
Brake Distribution" (EBD).Check DTC memory   page 01
