• Air-decay testing to confirm the unit is free of brake fluid
• Critical components are re-soldered where needed to improve electrical connection integrity
• Worn or non-functioning components are replaced with new or rebuilt parts
• On-car testing is performed when required for reliability validation
• Bolt-on attachment method with 2 connectors
• Metal and plastic housing construction
• No programming required

Detailed Description

Cardone ABS Control Module 12-12200 is remanufactured to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. The remanufacturing process is based on reverse engineering of failed units, allowing Cardone to identify common design weaknesses and correct them during rebuild. That approach helps deliver stable brake system communication and quick ABS and traction control response when road conditions change.

This ABS control module is a direct-fit replacement for select Audi A4 Quattro, Audi A6 Quattro, Audi A8 Quattro, Audi S4, Audi S6, and Volkswagen Passat models. It is designed for vehicles using the listed OE references and is a practical choice when the original module has developed internal electrical or hydraulic faults. The Cardone ABS Control Module 12-12200 is also built with an earth-conscious remanufacturing process that reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• ABS warning light illuminated on the dash
• Traction control or stability control faults
• Intermittent brake system communication errors
• Internal module electrical failure or solder joint issues
• Hydraulic leakage concerns within the ABS unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number and connector layout before ordering. This module uses a bolt-on attachment method and two connectors, and programming is not required. Because ABS components are safety-critical, inspect the brake system for stored fault codes, wiring damage, and fluid contamination before installation. Bleed the brake system according to factory service procedures after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured ABS control module undergoes computer testing, hydraulic leak testing, and air-decay testing to confirm proper operation and fluid integrity. When needed, on-car validation is performed to confirm reliability in real-world conditions. Cardone’s remanufacturing process is designed to restore OE-level function while reducing material and energy consumption.
