The Famous Brake Pressure Sensor ABS Fault
The ABS Pump control module is a very common fault for owners of VW’s, Audi’s, Skoda’s, Seats & Mazda’s all with the ESP system. The fault is detected by having the ESP light illuminated on the Dashboard Speedo and also the “ESP OFF” switch will be illuminated too. Pressing the “ESP OFF” switch will have no effect. If you’ve had this problem, you would have most likely taken the vehicle to your local garage where they’d plug it onto a diagnostics machine and find the following common fault code: “01435 Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (G201)” or it would have given you the following fault description: “Brake Pressure Sensor” or “Brake Pressure Sender”.
If you had your vehicle in with the main dealers then you would have been told that you need to replace the ABS Pump Control Module. In fact, almost any garage you go to will tell you the same thing. A replacement ABS unit for your vehicle would be in the regions of £1000 – £1500 (+Vat) and that’s not including Labour. Luckily for you, we can repair these units for a fraction of the cost and could potentially save you a lot of money. What’s more, we now offer a full LIFETIME warranty on the replacement / remanufactured parts giving you complete peace of mind.

What is ESP & Why Do I Need It?
The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is an additional function to the commonly known ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) & TCS (Traction Control System). Many 2000+ VW’s, Audi’s, Skoda’s & Seat’s are fitted with the ESP system. ABS prevents the wheels locking up under harsh braking / emergency braking, TCS will prevent the wheels from spinning when accelerating hard. ESP is much more advanced and is constantly working, calculating every corner you take to ensure you’re safety. The ESP system will use accelerometer sensors around the vehicle, to detect when the vehicle is likely to loose traction whilst cornering or sudden turning to avoid a collision at speed. If there is excessive longitudal or lateral acceleration/deceleration it will be detected & by sudden steering at speed, the ESP system will instantly apply the brake to one of the opposing wheels, preventing excessive lateral movement that causes loss of traction to the road and loss of driver control of the vehicle.
Why You Should Choose Sinspeed To Replace / Remanufacture Your ABS unit
The ABS pump will have failed due to a manufacturing defect and replacing it with a new unit or even a second hand one does not necessarily prevent this from happening again. In fact, if you was to replace it with a working second hand unit, then you will be waiting for the day for it to fail because they are all failing at one point or another. The problem is with the Internal Brake Pressure Sender Sensor Switch. Once this fails, the ESP system is no longer working. There are other companies that will simply replace this part and return it to you, but that will not prevent it from happening again in the future.
What we do is completely different. We bypass the original Brake Pressure Sensor Switch and fit our very own custom manufactured External Brake Pressure Sender Switch and calibrate it so that the manufacturing defect is no longer existing. This is the only way to completely remove all risks of the unit failing again and this is why we are confident enough to offer a full LIFETIME warranty on the unit.
Why Modify The Unit? – Why Not Just Replace The Damaged Part?
All other cars without the MK60 ATE ABS Control Module have the Brake Pressure Sensor fitted externally to the ABS Pump and guess what, they never fail!
Having the Brake Pressure Sender Sensor Switch fitted internally to the ABS Pump is a new space-saving idea which has gone terribly wrong and unfortunately dealerships are yet to recover from this outbreak of faulty units as they have not yet released a modification. Replacing the internal switch for another one will not permanently cure the problem as it will remain a manufacturing defective unit. In order to safe-guard the future of your ABS unit, you have to modify it to match it’s predecessors. All the older versions of the ABS units come without internal brake pressure switches and the ESP never failed because the switches were mounted externally. If something isn’t broken.. why try to fix it? The external switches were great and never failed, the internal brake pressure switch was a bad idea from the start.
SAFETY WARNING!!
There have been rumours of people and/or companies trying to repair these units and in some cases imitate our work. Please understand that although the ESP system is not absolutely crucial, modifying the ABS controller/pump in any way (without superior extensive knowledge) in the technology of advanced braking systems and electronic control modules, you will be risking the life of others. Please do not attempt to repair these units yourself and please do not offer such services to trade or the general public. We have been in business since 1972 as a group company and all our parts, services are fully tested before leaving the workshop. All units are thoroughly tested on specific specialist equipment to ensure maximum quality. Our ESP Fault Modifications come fully approved and as far as we’re aware, there is no other company out there that can successfully repair these units and completely remove the defective state.
If you’ve got a car with a Brake Pressure Sensor fault relating to the ABS unit or have the ESP light lit up on your dash, then call us today and we’ll give you an instant quote. The number to call is 0871 2887 666.

I have a 2006 Seat Altea 2.0 Reference Sport (mileage approx 30,000 miles) where the ABS light has recently come on and stayed on and a recent diagnostic check says that there is a brake sensor fault. I was very interested in reading the above and that you have found a way to bye pass the existing unit. Unfortunately I live in Spain and it would be impossible for me to bring the car back to the UK in the foreseeable future.
I understand that you like to fit these units yourself but are you able to supply the necessary part with fitting instructions and calibration figures to me to pass on to my mechanic? If you are, could you please let me know what costs are involved.
Many thanks
Clive Sutton
Hi Clive,
Certainly, we help customers all over the world with these common faults. We have units on the shelf for your vehicle & also offer an own unit repair service, however, in order to quote you I would require the corresponding part numbers from your unit. Please click here to email us your part numbers. We will supply full step by step re-calibration instructions which can be carried out using a VAGCOM system.
Many Thanks,

Hi there,
I'm from Brazil, own a 180hp 2002 Golf GTI and i have the red ESP light always on (an exclamation point inside a triangle and a circle).
Lately i've been trying fix it without success.
Right now my car is under regular maintenance so we can get everything fixed in order not to let anything else interfere on the sensor signals, then i can be sure if the fault is really on the sensor itself or if its related to ABS or something else.
As my car is at the Volkswagen authorized service, could you guys help me out how to figure what is probably causing the ESP light to be always on? Maybe if i get the VAG error codes, that will be any helpful?
Also, is the Passat ESP sensor the same as Golf GTI sensor?
Right now i have a Passat ESP sensor and will try it on my car to maybe get the problem solved..
Anyway, thank you guys in advance for the help!
Feel free to e-mail me.
Hi Jack,
It's a very common fault and we're currently repairing at least 10-15 units a day with the same faults. The problem is inside the ABS control module but we'll need the whole unit with the hydraulic pump so that we can custom-remanufacture it with our very own custom fabricated external pressure switch. Please supply us with a part number from your unit (for VW golf the part number will start with 1KO) with this number we can tell you if we have one in stock and how much it will cost. If we don't have it in stock, we can remanufacture your own unit which takes 3-5 working days.
The Passat ESP unit will not work on your vehicle, unless the numbers are identical but will still have to be calibrated using a VAGCOM system of some sort.
Kind Regards,
Tech Team

I have a 2007 Honda S2000 and at 12500 kms the vsa (esp? ) warning lights came on.
The stability assist is definitely not working.although the ABS is fine. My Honda dealer tells me that the problem is the brake pressure sensor located with the ABS and though the failed part is small, its located within the ABS and the sensor will have to be replaced at a cost of approx 1500 euros. ( I live in Cyprus ) It appears that failure with these ATE parts is very common to the extent that I believe in the USA there was a safety recall for some Honda cars fitted with the parts. The part fitted to my car looks identical to the pictures on your website,and the part no is ATE 06.2102-0262.4 Would you be able to repair/replace this unit? ( assuming I,ve identified the correct part )
Regards Don Buckland
Hi Don,
Certainly we can offer remanufactured units off the shelf and also, a service to repair your own unit, however, please can you respond with some more part numbers so we can identify the correct unit. That number you've given us does not match up to any on our records. It's certainly the right unit but we cannot always cross reference all numbers so please respond with all the part numbers you can see on the control module.
Kind Regards,

The car is a Honda S2000 Nov 2006
Further to my earlier ( today ) reply can now confirm Honda Pt no for abs/vsa modulator ass.
PFKL 703572.
Hi Don,
Sorry for our late response. The ATE number you gave us is generally the number we go by. We can test & repair these units, we don't have any with that matching part number in stock at the moment but if you'd like a quote to have your own unit tested & repaired, please call us on 0871 2887 666 or drop us an email and someone will get back to you with a price.

Please quote price to repair my s2ooo abs/vsa modulator., and approx time to repair
Can you confirm that on refit it will perform as per the orginal, and not need any ecu adjustment?
Thanks and Regards Don Buckland
Hi Don,
Please confirm the part numbers from your unit & the fault your having with the unit as well i.e. what lights are showing on the dash and has it been diagnosed on a machine?
If we're doing a supply & fit job, the ecu is fully reprogrammed (if required) and inclusive in all quotations.

Hi
I have an almost identical problem on my 2006 Seat Leon FR where the warning light is continually on, except that my ESP switch in the centre console is not illuminated and will not light up no matter how many times I press it.
A diagnostics check at a local garage returned no error (although i'm sceptical as to whether he knew what he was doing) and suggested maybe it was just the switch that was faulty (ie jammed).
Have you ever come across anything like that?
Cheers & regards,
Matt.
Hi Mathew,
That's exactly what happens on the Seat Leon's across the range with internal Brake Pressure Switches built into the ABS control module. We carry these units on the shelf now due to how common they've become. If you can supply us with a part number, we can quote you on a repair/replacement unit. Please email us your part numbers and a contact number and we'll call you right back with a quotation.
Many Thanks,

I have a Seat Leon, 36,000 miles and 4.5 years old.
I bought an AA Warranty for 3 years when I purchased the vehicle and so have 1.5 years left on it.
Seat have diagnosed the G201 sensor as having failed in the ABS – cost £1200 inclusive to repair. I am told that if I use the warranty I have to put back the original ABS sensor as supplied by the manufacturer.
Have you been able to persuade the AA that use of your part as an option would significantly reduce the cost of future failures – and claims on their warranty??
Hi Barry,
In all honesty we have not approached the AA or any other 3rd party company. These companies will always prefer customers to use main-dealer parts as they are the original parts manufactured to of course OE specification and it would be a lot more work for them to monitor the quality of products produced by other companies if they began outsourcing.
Unfortunately if you decide to go through the insurance then you will have to have it replaced with a new part only which again, could fail in the near future.
However, please supply us with the part number from your unit, we can in most cases supply a unit at a fraction of the cost.
Kind Regards,

I have a 4.5 year old Seat Leon which has a G201 sensor failure in the ABS unit.
Fortunately I also have an AA Warranty and that still has 1.5 years to run.
The Warranty is limited to £500 for any claim and therefore I am going to be out of pocket to repair the ABS as the estimate from my local dealer is £1200 inclusive of VAT.
I am told by the garage that the Warranty is only valid if I replace the failed unit with another original unit ( with same technical fault built in )
Have you persuaded the AA that your external sensor system would be a better option for motorists so I can specify your system rather than the flawed original??
Hi Barry,
Okay if you've got to pay the difference from your pocket (being £700 in this case) then we can definitely save you money. Even our most expensive off-the-shelf units are not that expensive. Email us a part number and I'll give you a quote.
You're more than welcome to offer our solution to the AA and we'd be more than happy to discuss the matter in further detail with them.

Hi Admin
But above you state that it returns fault code “01435 Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (G201)” or it would have given you the following fault description: “Brake Pressure Sensor” or “Brake Pressure Sender”.
But my garage got none of these errors, so it's surely not the same problem?
Don't worry if you can't help, I just thought I would try my luck.
Kind regards
Matt.
Hi Mathew,
If the ESP light is illuminated on the dash, then there will be an error code for it – it is possible that the garage you used did not have the appropriate diagnostics equipment to read the code for the ABS system.

Hi my friend is looking at a passat to buy which has the abs and Eps lights on also display shows “stop brake failure” even the airbag light is on. Can all these pros be related to this pump module? other than that the car is good and if this module can be updated will be a good buy.
The car is a v reg 1.8 se VW Passat estate, petrol, manual.
How easy is this module to remove?
Cheers Andy.
Hi Andy,
The ABS & ESP light are related to the abs module, however, have it scanned with a VAGCOM or equivelant diagnostics tool to bring up the fault codes and see what it tells you. Make a note of the faults and then erase the codes – if the lights go out and don\’t come back after a short drive, then it\’s possible it was a logged fault such as a wheel speed sensor which was replaced but the fault codes may not have been reset.
If the lights do not go out or come back on after a short drive, then you know there is a problem somewhere in the circuit. There\’s not a lot that can go wrong in the ABS system but if it is the ABS module in this case, on this year of vehicle it will not be an expensive repair. For an instant quote, give us a call or an email as we don\’t list prices on our website.
They\’re very easy modules to remove with just a couple of mounting bolts, a big multi-plug and 6 brake lines. We always suggest disconnecting the battery terminals prior to removing any modules from the vehicle to avoid power surges and sparks.
I hope this helps & thanks for reading.

Hi,
The ABS / ESP fault lights came on on my 2005 Golf Plus 1.6 FSI a few months ago. As you have noted we were quoted over £1,200 to replace by my local garage. On being advised that this did not constitute an MOT failure we decided to live with it in the short term. Given that we may be able to reduce the cost of repairing this fault I would be grateful if you could give me a quote for the replacement part. Also I am in Glasgow. Would my local garage be able to fit the replacement part.
Regards,
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Actually this type of ABS fault will not pass an MOT because the ABS warning light is lit on the dash. We can certainly remanufacture & modify the unit or even provide a unit off the shelf as a replacement to you at a fraction of the cost you were quoted. For more information and a quote, please call our offices on 0871 2887 666 or alternatively if you provide us with a contact telephone number, a member of our team will call you back.

Hi Guys,
I recently sent my car to my local mechanic who changed both front wheel bearings. After the change he reported that there was an ABS fault on the near side front wheel.
After spending some time trying to solve this hes come back saying that the ABS Module has failed.
The part that failed is an AUDI A2 ABS Pump (MK60 ATE)
I checked with AUDI and they want £1025 for a new module which only has a 2 year warranty.
My mechanic suggested contacting you guys as it seems that you can fix or replace the parts for much cheaper.
Could you get back to me and give me a quote for the part.
Cheers
Iain Blackwood
Hi Iain,
First check to make sure the near side front wheel sensor is not damaged. Knocking this sensor can cause damage easily as they are quite fragile, check the continuity of the wiring and if required, replace the sensor. This should cure the fault. Also, try to clear the fault code with a scanner and then road test the vehicle to ensure the light stays off. If it does come back on and all else checks out okay, then we can certainly look to repair or replace this unit for you. We carry the MK60 ATE units on the shelf in all part numbers and have recently had a massive price drop as well.
For a quote & more information, please send us an email or call us on 0871 2887 666 and an advisor will be happy to assist you.

Sinspeed Ltd
Hi Guys,
The mechanic has done this, he has even replaced the sensor. Hes had over 2 weeks with my vehicle so I think that he has exausted all other avenues. Thisleads me to believe that this is the actual problem, I probably should have mentioned that the ESP warning light is on as well.
Also the mechanic says he looked inside the module and said one of the pins/points? (I wasnt really sure what he was talking about) is corroded.
Currently he has disabled the ABS and ESP system so that I can actually drive my vehicle as before he did this the breaks were extreamely stiff as the ABS was firing even at low speed and gentle breaking causing it to seem as if you werent really breaking.
What do you think?
Regards,
Iain Blackwood
Hi Iain,
Okay I'd suggest removing the unit (complete) with the hydraulic pump and sending it to us for a "Test & Report" so that we can connect it up to our test rig and run the pump to see what faults it brings up. We will then inspect the unit for any physical defects as well and then contact you before going ahead with any repairs/modifications and quote you accordingly.

I have an Audi A3 special edition 07, and just made an appointment for Friday at my local audi garage where i bought the car 4 years ago. The ESP fault brake pressure is what the mechanic said, so im bracing myself for the news on friday. Thanks very much for the forum, it helps to understand what is going on with the ESP system, and it is confusing as to why there is a fault. Surely audi should repair it (good will) if this is a common problem.
Many thanks once again and hope to be in touch.
Regards,
Dean
Hi Dean,
It is a very common fault and most dealers will in good will offer to reduce the cost of a replacement ABS pump by up to 50% depending on the year of the vehicle and if it has been regularly serviced by the dealer. However, the units have not yet been corrected and so it will be a like for like pump being replaced meaning the fault will eventually come back.
What we offer is a modification to your original unit to ensure the manufacturing defect is correct to eliminate the fault so it doesn\’t reoccur. This is all done during the repairs to ensure full functionality with complete peace of mind. We carry almost every part number readily available in stock so there isn\’t any waiting around.
We offer collect & return services FREE depending on your location and a very affordable fitting service. Send us an email or call us on 0871 2887 666 to find out more.

Hello, my 2006 VW Golf Mk 5 has been diagnosed with the “01435 Brake Pressure Sensor (G201) Fault" as the ESP light is permanently on. I understand that VW now do a repair kit (1K0698517B). Can you tell me how this compares to getting the existing unit repaired as II'm not sure which option to go for?
San
Hi San,
The repair kit cures the fault but the unit will remain with the same OE manufacturing defect. Repairing your own unit or even buying a replacement from us will ensure it is modified and fully guaranteed by us for two years. Also, our exchange units no longer require programming!
For information and pricing, please send us an email or call our office on 0871 2887 666.

Hi, What a great forum, I have an 07 Seat Leon and for the last couple of days four warning lights appeared all at the same time while driving, 1st being the ESP light, 2nd was the brake fluid warning light which was flashing, 3rd was the ABS warning light and 4th was the brake pad wear indicator light, I've checked the fluid level,the pads and all is ok, the lights don't stay on all the time, I pulled up switched off the ignition then restarted after a few minutes and all light were off and stayed off for the remainder of the journey approx 5 miles, any ideas.
regards,

Hi __I have just bought a VW Pasasat 2003 tdi. having problem with braking. When i brake initiall ok but just before it stops it makes a grinding sound before coming to a halt. . Also the ABS light comes on after a while as i continue to drive. Had the brake pads changed resently to eliminate the problem. Can any one advise, what i need to get done or checked. Thanks
Hi Peter,
It sounds like it could be a hub assembly problem. Inside the hub when the bearing fails then the abs sensor ring can have play in it which would cause the ABS sensor on that hub to get incorrect readings and will cause DTC error codes to flag up in the ABS ECU causing the ABS light to come on. Have your local garage check your hubs and same time brake discs and speed sensors.
Hope this helps.

I have a 2006 VW Touran and took it to main dealer last week for full service and to check why car was hard to start.
Main dealer could not diagnose fault but this week when the car has not started the ABS lights on dash and centre console were illuminated. After turning key to on / off several times ABS light went out and i can start car – will altering my ABS unit sort out my car starting problems?
Hi Sam,
There are several ECU's on a modern car and they all handshake with each other. On some cars, if a module is defective and not communicating correctly, it can cause starting issues. We can look into this fault for you, please call us on 0871 2887 666 or email us to discuss the costs involved. All our ABS repairs come with a full 2 year warranty.

Dear Sinspeed,
I'm over in Malaysia, and I own an MK5 09 model. The ESP light and the tyre pressure light are on simultaneously, while the ABS and the electro mechanical lights do come on intermittently. Is the problem I'm having probably due to faulty ABS sensors or the pump?
I hope you can reply me to my mail at melvyn_ong77@yahoo.com
Thanks, so much.
Hi,
Could possibly be ABS pump or sensor fault but I would recommend having an auto electrician carry out a diagnostics on the vehicle and check the sensors before assuming to replace any parts. If the ABS pump is found to be at fault, we can definitely test the unit for you to confirm this and repair or replace it at very affordable costs.

Hi,
I have an Audi A2. 51 plate. I have errors in relation to the ABS sensor, but nothing about 'brake pressure sensor'. I have the ABS light little circle with arrow and yellow steering wheel in middle. Somtimes tI can go a couple of days without the errors.
My errors are :
18057 powertrain data bus missing message from abs controller p1649 – intermittent.
65535 internel control module memory error. 00-00
00778 steering angle sensor (G85) 49-10 No communications – Intermittent.
I'm seeing a control module part of 8Z0 907 379 B
Can you advise? this doesn't seem to match the other peoples errors on here?
Regards
Hi Darren,
All these faults can relate back to an ABS control module failure. The best option would be to remove the ABS pump complete and have it tested intensively. For information on this, send us an email or call us on 0871 2887 666.

hi ,after recently removing my steering wheel to replace faulty indicator stalk, and then replacing it, i have noticed the esp light has appeared on the dash? before that it was off, but has come on was or twice which caused a lost of power, but was rectified by turning ignition off and re-starting it. any ideas would be gratefully received? thanks…
Hi,
This sounds like a steering angle sensor fault, not necessarily the sensor require replacing but either recalibrating or adjustment of the steering wheel to align it correctly with the splines on the shaft. I would recommend having the vehicle connected to VAGCOM or similar diagnostics depending on the vehicle to see what the steering angle sensor readings are when the steering wheel is straight.

Hi
I own a Audi a4 52plate 1.9tdi for about 2 weeks now ive been getting the ESP warning light come on my dashboard after driving for about 5-10mins.I plugged it in to a VAG 5053+ to see if there were any codes and it read
8E0614517
ABS/ESP
front
17260265950011
bb
code:04255
any ideas?
Thanks Andrew
Hi Andrew,
The 8E0 number is the part number of the unit and the 04255 code relates to the soft coding of the unit. There should be a fault code with fault description just below that information. Please copy & paste all information you see on your VAG 5053+ to us and we will try our best to help you. The long number starting with "17260.." doesn't correspond to anything, possibly a serial number of some sort. You'll be looking for fault codes generally starting with a P or a 5 digit code, for example see below:
18258 – Powertrain Data Bus: Missing Message from ECU
P1850 – 35-10 – - – Intermittent
Please check again and come back to us if you require any further help or information.

hi i have a 2004 bmw 1 series 118d. all my dash lights are showing and abs light too. it judders wen i drive alot. if i put my dtc on it drives a bit better. ive taken it to a garage and they have told me i need a new rear wheel shaft motor? do u think i need this?
Hi Kuldeep,
Which dash lights are on and also, have you had the fault codes read from the OBDII point?
Wheel bearing slack could cause loss of signal or incorrect signal from one wheel which could possibly cause the juddering and ABS light to come on but shouldn't be all your dash lights on.. would need more information on this.

Hi, I have a VW 1.6 Golf Match Mk5 (56 plate) and the traction control light on the dash is constantly on. I am unable to turn it off using the ESP button. My mechanic did some tests in the VW garage and advised that I'll need to replace the control unit which will cost around £800 for the part.
I've just read the info above which was very usefull. What do you think the best way to fix this problem is?

scoda octovia abs light came on after replacing the car battery
Hi Mark,
Try deleting the fault codes, light should go out – if not, disconnect the battery for an hour and re-connect see if that works. If the problem still persists, please let us know the fault codes you're seeing on the ABS module.

Hi I have a golf mk4 v6 4motion on a w (2000) reg, my ESP button doesn’t light up when I press it and it doesn’t come up on my dash board, but I have the ABS light on on the dash also my 4 wheel drive isn’t working I’m guessing because the ESP button? help as I need to know if the car I have just bought is going to the scrap yard! Also the engine management light sometimes decides to come on when it feels like it?!
Hi Chelsea,
Firstly, apologies for the late response to this query, we have been overwhelmed with enquiries recently. Your vehicle wouldn't be affected by the internal braking pressure sensor problem, however, it does sound as though the ABS pump has a malfunction within. It could also be a wheel speed sensor fault, you'd need to get into a local workshop to have the fault codes read from the ABS and Engine ECU to help diagnose the root cause of the problem.
If there is an ABS fault, we can possibly remanufacture the ABS unit at a very cost-effective price and it will be returned with a lifetime warranty.
For more information, please call our office on 0871 2887 666 or alternatively you can send an email to our support team for further assistance.

Hi, I think i may have the same issue, my ESP doesn't work, and the ESP OFF button is constantly illuminated with no effect when pressing it. The only difference is that i have no light illuminated on the dash. I have had a scan which has come back with the code described above. Cheers
Hi Dave,
A strange one, could be the bulb which is used to illuminate the ESP light on the dash could be damaged or previously removed if this was a known problem by a previous owner or garage for example. However, having the fault code G201 / 01435 suggests you definitely have the same fault as described. We now have these units readily available on the shelf for a next-day dispatch and also a very affordable and cost-effective fitting service.
For more information, please call our office on 0871 2887 666 or send an email to the support team. Alternatively if you can provide us with a contact number, I can have a member of our team call you back.
