system or carry out a special bleeding procedure.
Using roller dynamometers
Brake test stand
-
Checking parking brake
Ignition OFF

control is active!
Functional test stand or output dynamometer and testing the speedometer
-
Only possible on 2-axle roller dynamometers
Vehicle has permanent all-wheel drive.
3 differentials are used which can be damaged by large and above all sustained differences in speed.
Treatment of ETS/ESP components on vehicles involved in an accident
If, because of the extent of the damage to the vehicle or the position and external appearance of the hydraulic unit after the accident, it is obvious that the
hydraulic unit has sustained a heavy shock, it must be renewed.
Indications of this are e.g.:
-
Hydraulic lines kinked
-
Connections on hydraulic unit leaking
-
Cables or plug connections damaged
-
Metal block of hydraulic unit shows signs of damage
-
Hydraulic unit detached from its bracket and cannot be easily reinstalled
Even if none of these are applicable the system must still be subjected to a rigorous function test. Solenoid valves and pumps must be checked using the
appropriate test procedures of the handheld tester.
