Replacing the ABS block on Kalina

The anti-lock braking system control unit on a Lada Kalina car is one of the most expensive parts in electronics. And its cost is close even to the electric power steering. A new unit can cost about 20 rubles. Of course, this will be imported production, most likely from Bosch.

Fortunately, it is extremely rare to replace this unit, but if this happens, it happens most often due to the increased voltage of the on-board network. To perform an independent replacement of the abs block on Kalina, you will need the following tool:

1. Key 13 - preferably a special split for unscrewing the brake pipes
2. 10 mm head
3. Ratchet handle

Dismantling the hydraulic unit block on Kalina

The first step is to pump out the brake fluid from the reservoir, or drain it completely. After that, using the key, we unscrew the 4 brake pipes, which are clearly shown in the photo below.

The result of the performed action is perfectly visible in the photo:

And there are still two tubes that go from the brake master cylinder to the Kalina ABS block.

Now we remove the block with the power wires, having previously pushed up the retainer (bracket).

And we disconnect it, the result of which is shown below in the photo.

Now you can start dismantling the unit itself by unscrewing the two fastening nuts using a 10 mm head and a ratchet handle.

It remains only to lift the block up or remove it by pulling it to the side from the studs.

Installation of a new unit is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Of course, after performing this repair, it will be necessary to bleed the brake system in order to get rid of the air in the pipes.
