ABS trouble

-

Q I have a 2008 Peugeot 207 1.4 VVT with ABS code ‘C1350’. It seems the ABS on these cars is renowned for problems. I have good power and ground at the ECU connector, so it would seem the ECU is at fault. I would like to replace it with a used pump/ecu, but will this need to be coded to the car? Also, if I buy a used pump/ecu, do all the numbers on the used item need to match my old pump? There is a smaller number (10.02070139.4) and one like a part number (9665344180), but on the used pump I’ve found the smaller number is different. Jonathan Dean A The code ‘C1350’ refers to the ABS unit, specifical­ly the actuator supply. As you have checked and ensured the connection­s are good, the unit is most likely faulty.

On the unit, the first number is the vehicle manufactur­er number and the second refers to the OEM (original equipment manufactur­er). Both numbers are relevant and must match on the replacemen­t unit as different units have different specificat­ions. From the data I have, the unit will not need to be coded, but the codes will have to be cleared with a scanner.

If you cannot find the correct unit, then a test-and-repair service can be carried out by ecutesting.com, who will guarantee the repair.
