Installation of the ABS M5 Kit
Installation of the hydraulic parts
Fit the mounting bracket item A to HU. Use the M10x1 screw, which comes with
the kit.
Illustration 4: HU with Bracket
Remove the front left inner wing (plastic part).
Refer to picture “Porsche brake parts” in the previous chapter Content of the
Porsche 991 ABS M5 Kit [} 4]. Disconnect brake pipe 12, 13, 16, 19 from
connector 5.
Remove the brake pipes 1, 2, 3, 4, as they are no longer needed. Pull upwards
on components 5 and 6 to remove these. These are no longer needed.
Illustration 5: Original Cup parts removed
For the installation of the ABS HU assembly, push this into the rubber bushes
as shown in the following picture below.
Illustration 6: HU pushed into bracket
Attention: This picture is outdated and will be renewed soon.
Install the two new master cylinder brake pipes – pipes are not included – as
shown in the following picture. Connect the black 991 Cup brake pipes while
also fitting the two steel adapters for VR and HR. Make sure you fit the pipes
into the correct port which are labeled: F = front, R = rear, R = right, L =
left.
Illustration 7: Brake pipes connected
Attention: This picture is outdated and will be renewed soon.
Prime the ABS brake pressure sensor with a syringe and install one of them on
each brake circuit connector. This is the last step of the installation of the
brake hydraulics.
Illustration 8: ABS brake pressure sensors installed
Installation of wiring loom and electrical components
Now install the two-piece ABS wiring loom.
Installation of the front wiring loom
Drill a hole of d = 26 mm to feed the ABS wiring loom through the front bulk
head. The center is 50 mm to the bolt and 32 mm to the grommet. Use the
connector of the loom to mark the positions for the three additional notches
for the connector. Each notch has ap-proximately a diameter of ca. 1.5 mm.
File these notches out.
Mark the correct vertical positions for the two holes for the connector
fixation and drill two holes.
Illustration 9: Position of hole in bulk head
Illustration 10: Position of fixation holes, vertical
Illustration 11: Connection of ground cable
The installation of the front wiring loom starts from the ABS connector.
Connect the main connector to the ABS unit.
Connect the pressure sensors. Pay attention, to connect the correct brake
circuit. Connect the ABS ground cable at the same bolt as other ground cables
are connected at the bulkhead nearby. The loom is designed to run underneath
the black transversal beam to the right. Mount the connector to connect to the
inside loom into the bulkhead by using the delivered nutplate.
Connect the wheel speed sensors: Disconnect the connector of the wheel speed
sensor. Connect the end that comes from the wheel to the ABS loom “…in”.
Connect the connector that runs into the vehicle chassis loom to the ABS loom
connector “…out”. By doing this, the wheel speed signal is fed to the ABS and
from the signal splitter back to the vehicle display. Repeat this for front
left.

Illustration 17: Arrow shows the Ground point
Installation of the inside wiring loom
At first the parts of the ABS Kit for inside the car shall be installed.
Install the yaw rate sensor F. Remove the screws from the loom fastener next
to the driver seat on the center tunnel. Leave the fastener at its original
place. Place the mounting plate E for the yaw rate sensor on top of the
fastener. Use a file to slightly increase the width of the oval holes in the
mounting plate E. Screw the yaw rate sensor F onto the mounting plate.
Illustration 18: Yaw rate sensor F on mounting plate E. Mounting plate on loom fastener Attention: This picture is outdated and will be renewed soon. Install the wheelspeed signal splitter D as shown on the picture in the front area on the tunnel using velcrotape. This device duplicates the wheelspeed signal and provides it to the ABS unit as well as to the display. There is no change to the display configuration required.
Illustration 19: Wheelspeed signal splitter with wiring loom plugged in
Install the bracket M for the fuses and the ABS diagnostic plug. The bracket
is fitted at the glove box area. You will find two fixation points for it as
shown in the picture.
Left fuse: 10 A; middle fuse 25 A; right fuse 40 A.
In Gen 2 the fuse mounting uses the same fixation points as the fire
extinguisher ECU mounting. Dismount the ECU mounting and place the mounting
plate behind the ECU mounting.
Illustration 20: Bracket with fuses and hole for ABS diagnostic plug in
Gen. 2
Remove the driver display. Fit the ABS warning light (MIL) above the display.
The wiring loom is designed to fit the MIL at this location. Only put the
display back after the full wir-ing loom installation has been completed.
Install the ABS 12-position switch (plus the corresponding sticker) and the
ABS On/Off switch in the center console. The required holes are indicated on
the back of the console.
Illustration 21: ABS MIL
Illustration 22: ABS On/Off and ABS 12-position switch
Fit the 2nd part of the ABS loom inside the car. The loom runs from the hole
upwards be-hind the display and after that downwards behind the center console
continuing on top of the center tunnel. Feed the loom underneath all the
existing fixation points on the center tunnel.
Illustration 23: ABS loom runs from connection point upwards
Illustration 24: ABS loom fixed behind display
Illustration 25: ABS loom on top of center tunnel
Connect all ends of the ABS loom to the required switches/sensors etc.
Mount the diagnostic connector with the delivered nutplate into the free hole
of the bracket at the passenger door or at the bracket for the fuses. Connect
the On/Off switch to the loom as well as the 12-position switch. Plug the
connector for the YRS into the sensor. Plug in the connectors for the
wheelspeed sensors as described above.
Connect the main power supply for the ABS loom to the bolt for the power
supply with fitting the ABS connection underneath the connector of the thick
red cable as shown in the picture below.
Illustration 26: Power supply connection
The connector C-Sport Logger at the ABS loom remains unused and can be used by
the customers if needed to connect the ABS CAN to the vehicle or to an
additional logger. The connector should be fixed on the center console.
The pinning is as follows: Pin 1 – 12V unfused, Pin 2 – GND, Pin 3 – 12V fused
with 10A, Pin 4 – CAN High, Pin 5 – CAN Low.
Finishing the installation
Fix the loom tight to avoid damage due to vibrations. Reinstall parts that had
to be re-moved for the installation. Bleed the brake system. Check the MIL by
switching the ignition on and the ABS 12-position switch to position 12 (ABS
function deactivated, all signals still transmitted). The MIL must come on.
Run a test to make sure ABS is operational.
If you have a MSA-Box available, run the Bosch Motorsport Software RaceABS to
check all sensor signals, correct connection of the brake pipes and the
wheelspeed sensors as well as the brake pressure sensor etc. The Installation
is finished.
