The Passat by VW uses an anti-lock brake computer. The first cars were built in 1973 although electronics were not present until the early 1990s. A person who experiences a problem with the braking system in a vehicle might need to replace some parts. Auto Pros sells a used ABS control module for VW Passat automobiles here daily.

Function of the ABS Computer

In modern-day vehicle production, ease of functionality is important. Auto companies like Volkswagen are now installing programmed computer tools to make driving easier. One change includes the use of ABS computer modules.

The way the system works is simple. The software receives the speed control update from the engine. When the brake pedal is pressed, the data is sent two or all four of the wheels to determine the need to stop motion. It is simple in operation, but is highly technical.

Cause of Anti-Lock Brake Failure

The most common cause is an electrical short that burns out the delicate computer system. A faulty alternator can send too much voltage throughout a Passat. When starting the car up, one of the first things to get zapped in the ABS system.

A dashboard light that alerts a driver that a brake system issue is present often gets illuminated. If it does not, it can be hard to push on the brake pedal. A traction control sensor could also fail making the entire system useless.

VW Junk Yard Inventory

What people buy here is a used condition module. These are much cheaper that what can be ordered locally. It is generally not safe to install an aftermarket anti-lock brake module in place on an OEM one. The programming could be off and will require an expensive trip to a car service center.

The best Volkswagen junk yards are selected to supply all parts in stock here. This means the selection is good and the warrant is even better. Because all components are freshly pull from a car, they are ready to be attached to a braking system. These do not sit on a damp shelf waiting for someone to buy them.
