Product Description
CARDONE Remanufactured ABS Control Modules are designed to meet or exceed O.E. performance. Reverse engineering provides insight into how and why the unit originally failed, allowing our engineers to identify and correct original design flaws. Every CARDONE unit goes through stringent testing, ensuring like-new performance and quick reaction time when traction control is required.
Worn-out, missing or non-functioning components are replaced with new or rebuilt components, where necessary.
Critical components are re-soldered, where necessary, to ensure superior electrical connections, eliminate intermittent failures and extend product life.
100% computer testing ensures consistent performance.
Air-decay testing ensures unit is void of brake fluid.
On-car testing is done, when necessary, for validation of product reliability.
High-pressure hydraulic testing ensures zero leakage.
As a remanufactured Original Equipment part, this unit guarantees a perfect vehicle fit.
Our remanufacturing process is earth-friendly, as it reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.

you select the right part for your application.
Product & Technical
What is the ABS Control Module and how does it function?
The ABS control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle’s antilock braking system. The diagnostics processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure on a wheel that is about to lock up and start skidding.
What are the most common causes of ABS problems in general?
Wheel speed sensors that become contaminated with debris from the road or braking system and sensor wiring that becomes damaged can result in intermittent or no feedback signals to the ABS control module.
Is there another name for “ABS Control Module”?
The ABS Control Module is also known as an Electronic Brake Control Module or Skid Control ECU. If the vehicle is equipped with traction control, the microprocessor may also be called the Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM).
What is ABS?
ABS stands for anti-lock braking system. ABS reduces the risk of skidding by maintaining traction in an evasive or abrupt braking situation. ABS can also be an integral part of a vehicle’s electronic stability control system.
What are the most common causes of failure for the ABS Control Module?
Road debris, salt and water intrusion are the most common causes of failure for the ABS control module.
Will I get a light on the instrument panel if there’s a problem with the ABS Control Module?
The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) illuminates the ABS indicator when the ABS control module detects an ABS-disabling malfunction. This is done when the IPC receives a Class 2 message from the ABS control module requesting illumination. The IPC will also illuminate the ABS indicator when it detects a loss of Class 2 communications with the ABS control module.
Core
What is a core?
A core is a used automotive part that is returned to the remanufacturer instead of being scrapped.
Why return cores?
Cores are literally at the “core” of the remanufacturing process, because they are the raw material used to
start the remanufacturing process. That’s why remanufacturers buy cores back from customers, and they pay
the most for good quality cores. If a core has too much damage in key areas, it may be unusable or require
extra resources to process; therefore a reduced core payment may be awarded. This core policy explains
potential deductions that may be taken from the core price if certain components are missing or damaged.
What is remanufacturing?
Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them,
replacing the worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original
function. Every unit is 100% tested to ensure O.E. performance.
Why “reman”?
PRODUCTS -
Reman captures used, durable goods like auto parts and puts them “back on the road” to new and sometimes
better than new performance. Reman provides the opportunity for detection of common failure modes and
incorporation of design improvements to prevent repeat failure.
ECONOMY -
Reman products cost consumers about 40% less than new. Reman products are one of the few “green” products
that actually costs less than their “non-green” counterparts.
ENVIRONMENTAL -
Reman saves up to 86% of the energy required to build a new unit. Reman realizes Greenhouse Gas savings of
up to 25 lbs. per unit over new. Reman saves up to 85% of the raw material required to produce a new unit by
reusing existing products. Reman is even more sustainable than recycling, as product castings are preserved
rather than melted down to raw material, saving energy and reducing emissions.
