Bosch services for ABS and ESP

Bosch Electronic Service has decades of experience in repairing vehicle electronics. We started as a factory service for Blaupunkt radios and navigation systems, today we also repair ABS and ESP and complex control units for various applications in the automotive industry.
Additionally, at Bosch Electronic Service we repair devices for the most diverse vehicle manufacturers, including BMW, VW, Ford, Mercedes and Porsche - therefore we offer services in manufacturer quality.

The advantages of our repair services speak for themselves!

  • As part of repairs we rely on testing technology that was specifically designed by Bosch for diagnosis and troubleshooting meeting OEM standards. In our test towers, we simulate all situations in which the device must work in everyday life, e.g. different temperatures and loads. It enables a thorough, in-depth analysis of your Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
  • As a rule, vehicle-specific data remains available and calibration using a diagnostic tester is not necessary.
  • In the event of irreparable control units, we can often offer you a replacement unit.
  • We perform repairs with original parts only.

Incidentally: In the event of a flat rate repair or replacement, we offer a warranty on the entire device, not only on the repaired fault.

Get in touch today and benefit from our experience and quality promise.

Repairing ABS and ESP

What are ABS and ESP?

The Anti-lock Braking System, or ABS, prevents locking wheels during braking and consequently maintains the ability to steer the vehicle. Nowadays, ABS is a paramount, electronic vehicle safety component. As part of ABS the brake pressure is repeatedly lowered and raised during the braking process on the basis of electronic signals. This process maintains the ability to steer the vehicle and increases directional stability.  In particular in wet road conditions ABS significantly cuts the braking distance.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), or Electronic Stability Control (ESC), prevents the vehicle from becoming unstable in the event of severe loads. It was initially developed in the mid-1990s by Bosch for the Mercedes S-Class. As an extension of ABS, ESP brakes individual wheels as an electronic vehicle assistant and guarantees high levels of vehicle control when cornering, but also when over/understeering.

When are ABS or ESP faulty? 

ABS or ESP electronics are faulty if the device no longer responds to requests. Generally, faults are caused by signal processes and this causes issues for the brake pressure or its distribution. Technical damage impairs the safe braking distance and may potentially lead to longer braking distances. 

If you identify such a defect, we can offer you various services to eliminate the issue:

  1. Repairs, advance replacement at a flat rate or cost estimates depending on the device and offer.
  2. We provide the control unit separately. In this process, you need to disassemble, assemble and vent the hydroblock as part of a long-winded process.
  3. Advance exchange with a new device. Receive a new device and later send the damaged part back to us.

Our engineers are characterized by many years of experience in repairing vehicle electronics. Our service is based on conventional standards and directives in electronics production, e.g. IPC-7711 or IPC-7721.

Are you unsure which ABS or ESP you have?

You can find out the type of ABS or ESP by looking for a 10-digit Bosch part number on the device sticker. This is an example of a part number:
0 265 220 411 or 0 265 800 509
