^ All electrical and hydraulic test work is described under Testing and Inspection.

Handling ABS Parts On Vehicles Following An Accident
If it is apparent the extent of the damage to the vehicle or the position and external appearance of the hydraulic unit after the accident, that the hydraulic unit has received a severe blow, it is to be replaced.
Symptoms of this are for example:
^ Hydraulic lines kinked
^ Connections at hydraulic unit leaking
^ Electric cables or plug connections damaged
^ Metal block of hydraulic unit shows signs of damage
^ Hydraulic unit has sprung out of the mounting and cannot just be installed again
Should this not be the case, the system must nevertheless be subjected to a thorough function check. The solenoid valves and pump must be checked using the corresponding test steps found under Testing and Inspection.
