Ford ABS / ESP MK61 Hydraulic Unit Repair

Repair of Ford ABS / ESP hydraulic unit ATE MK61

ABS or brake problems on your Ford?

No brake fluid reaching one or more brake calipers, brake pressure no longer releasing correctly, or the vehicle pulling to one side when braking? The cause may be an internal hydraulic defect in the ATE MK61 ABS/ESP hydraulic unit.

With this fault, often no matching fault code is stored in the ABS/ESP control unit. A clear diagnosis via the fault memory is therefore not always possible.

With our specialised repair service, an expensive replacement of the complete ABS unit can often be avoided. You send us your existing ATE MK61 hydraulic unit and we fix the hydraulic fault described professionally.

Typical faults and symptoms

The following symptoms may indicate a defect in the ATE MK61 ABS/ESP hydraulic unit:

✔ No brake fluid reaches one or more brake calipers
✔ Insufficient brake pressure builds up in at least one brake circuit
✔ Brake pressure is not fully released after braking
✔ A brake caliper or individual wheel stays under pressure
✔ The vehicle pulls to the left or right when braking
✔ Individual wheels brake with different force
✔ The vehicle is difficult to brake or brakes unevenly
✔ No matching fault code is stored in the ABS/ESP control unit

With hydraulic faults in particular, the fault memory can stay empty even though the brake system is clearly impaired.
