Citroen Peugeot ABS Pump Repair | Sticking Brakes

Many Peugeot 208 and Citroen DS3 vehicles experience an issue where the brakes remain stuck due to a manufacturing defect in the ABS pump and module. This defect can cause one or more wheels to lock, bind, or stick after the brake pedal is depressed, without any warning lights or fault codes, creating a significant safety hazard.

The conventional fix involves purchasing a new ABS Pump from the manufacturer, but this solution has several downsides:

High Cost: The replacement ABS Pump is expensive.

Additional Expenses: Coding is required, adding further costs.

Short Warranty: The new ABS Pump comes with only a one-year warranty.

Recurrent Failure: Replacement ABS Pumps are prone to the same defect.

We offer a more effective and economical solution. Our in-house R&D team has engineered a rebuild process that eliminates the manufacturing defect, ensuring it does not recur. Our process is quick and efficient, with a turnaround time of just 2-3 working days. Additionally, no coding is needed when you receive the repaired unit.

Benefits of our solution:

Permanent Fix: We engineer out the defect.

Cost-Effective: Avoid the high cost of a new unit.

Quick Turnaround: Only 2-3 working days.

Comprehensive Warranty: Unlimited mile Lifetime Warranty.

The ATE MK100 is an advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) used in various Peugeot and Citroen vehicles. It is part of a broader suite of electronic stability control (ESC) systems designed to enhance vehicle safety by preventing wheel lock-up during braking and maintaining vehicle stability under various driving conditions. Here's a short explanation of its functionality:

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): Prevents Wheel Lock-Up: The primary function of the Citroen Peugeot ATE MK100 is to prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking, which maintains traction with the road surface and allows the driver to retain steering control.

Improved Stopping Distance: By modulating brake pressure to each wheel, it optimizes stopping distances under various road conditions.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Maintains Vehicle Stability: The system helps prevent skidding and loss of control by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels and reducing engine power if necessary.

Yaw Control: It monitors the vehicle's movement relative to the driver’s inputs (steering angle, throttle position, etc.) and intervenes when it detects oversteer or understeer.

Traction Control System (TCS): Reduces Wheel Spin: It prevents excessive wheel spin during acceleration by reducing engine power or applying brakes to individual wheels.

Enhanced Traction: This function is particularly useful in slippery conditions, such as wet or icy roads.

Hill Start Assist: Prevents Rollback: This feature holds the brake for a few seconds when the driver transitions from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal on a slope, preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards.

Brake Assist System (BAS): Emergency Braking: It detects emergency braking situations and increases braking force to ensure maximum deceleration.

Electronic Handbrake/Parkbrake: The ABS pump on your PSA vehicle also manages the electric handbrake's operation. It automatically engages the handbrake when the vehicle is turned off and releases it when the vehicle begins to move. This function is achieved by controlling the handbrake motors located on each rear brake caliper

Components and Operation:

Sensors: The ATE MK100 system uses various sensors, including wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensors, and yaw rate sensors, to continuously monitor the vehicle’s dynamics.

Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU): This unit modulates brake pressure through solenoid valves to prevent wheel lock-up and control individual wheel braking.

Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The ECU processes data from the sensors and controls the HCU to execute the necessary interventions.

Integration with Vehicle Systems:

The ATE MK100 system is integrated with other vehicle systems, such as the powertrain and suspension systems, to provide a comprehensive safety net.

It communicates with the vehicle's central computer to ensure coordinated responses to driving conditions.

Benefits:

Safety: By preventing wheel lock-up, skidding, and loss of traction, the ATE MK100 significantly enhances vehicle safety.

Driver Confidence: It allows drivers to maintain control during emergency maneuvers and adverse driving conditions.

Versatility: The system adapts to various driving conditions, improving overall vehicle performance and safety.

In summary, the ATE MK100 on Peugeot and Citroen vehicles is a sophisticated system designed to enhance safety and stability by preventing wheel lock-up, maintaining traction, and ensuring vehicle control under various driving conditions.
