2 Before Use
Read these instructions carefully and follow the recommendations for use step by step.
We are happy to give you additional notes and explanations. Our contact information is
on the back cover of this manual.
plus an OFF-position. With this, the driver can choose the best setting for his vehicle. For
calibration drives, the ABS function can be deactivated separately, whereby all ABS sensor
signals are transmitted and processed furthermore (OFF-position of the ABS switch).
2.4 Features
Note: In the following, we only refer to the ABS M5 scale, standard. You can use the ABS
M5 scale, alternative, if your ABS M5 is switched off in position 1.
The ABS M5 has eleven different control settings, selectable via a switch in the cockpit
(position 1 to 11 with OFF on position 12 or position 2 to 12 with OFF on position 1).
The ABS map switch in the cockpit enables the driver to select various control settings
stored in the control device. Using the standard ABS scale, it starts with switch position 1
for the most sensitive controller setting (e.g. heavy rain condition). The configured control
settings allow progressively more slip as the position of the dial gets numerically higher.
With switch position 11, the most aggressive settings are achieved. Your optimal setting is
not necessarily the most aggressive.
– Calibration
In case of need, the calibration of the 11 control maps can be done by Bosch Motors-
port ABS engineers.
– Switch off ABS functions for calibration drives (OFF on position 1 or 12)
Switching off the ABS functions can be very helpful, e.g. for adjustment of the brake
balance bar. OFF-position will be signalized by lit MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp).
All ABS sensor signals will still be communicated. ABS should be turned off in any
case where the drive wheels are spinning while the car is stationary, e.g. during warm-
up or when on the dynamometer. No error entry will take place.
– Measuring vehicle dynamics
Due to specially‐adapted chassis and tires, racing vehicles allow for significantly
higher longitudinal and lateral acceleration rates than series production vehicles. Our
ABS M5 sensors constantly measure vehicle acceleration and lateral forces as well as
the pressure of the front and rear brake circuit.
– Programming and diagnosis software
Each ABS M5 can be configured with specific data related to the vehicle, such as
vehicle mass, wheelbase, track width, tire rolling circumference, etc. Should the vehicle
data change at any time, you can adapt the system settings by using the RaceABS
diagnostic software. You find the software for free download on our website
www.bosch-motorsport.com. The new RaceABS diagnostic tool will also work with
older ABS M4 systems.
– Performing a system function test
The system function test can diagnose the functional capability without having to
move the vehicle.
– Reading data from the error log
Any missing part or incorrectly connected electrical connection of ABS operation-crit-
ical components are signaled by a lit MIL. In the error log you can read and analyze
what errors have set the MIL and then delete the errors after the issue has been re-
solved. Noncritical faults are stored without activating the MIL.
– Repair Bleeding Wizzard
Step‐by‐step instructions will guide you through bleeding the ABS unit, see also Re-
pair Bleeding Wizard [} 31].
– Connectivity for data loggers and display
You can connect a data logger (e.g. the C 70 from Bosch Motorsport) to the ABS‐Wir-
ing‐Harness via CAN. The CAN Bus can give you wheel speeds and other readings
from the system. All ABS M5 CAN messages can be displayed on any programmable,
CAN‐compatible display (e.g. the DDU 9 und DDU 10 from Bosch Motorsport), see
also CAN Protocoll V19 customer from 0700 onwards.
– Switch the system on and off
You can switch the system on or off via switch in the cockpit.
– Reset the system
You can reset the system by switching to position OFF and back to ON.

4 Disposal
Hardware, accessories and packaging should be sorted for recycling in an environment-
friendly manner.
Do not dispose of this electronic device in your household waste.
Waste electronic equipment must be disposed of properly according to Electrical and
Electronics Act (ElektroG) and the European WEE directive.
Wiring harness
Each ABS system is delivered with a wiring harness that we have specifically created in ac-
cordance with customer requests.
With every Clubsport ABS you receive a standard wiring harness, which is not customized.
Please see Wiring Harness ABS M5 Clubsport [} 50].
CAUTION
Use of ABS M4 wiring loom on ABS M5 system will damage the unit.
Though the connectors of both systems are identical, both systems require their own wir-
ing loom.
NOTICE
Was or is the vehicle already fitted with an ABS system? Was or is it an old BOSCH ABS sys-
tem?
ABS M5 requires signals from differential dual Hall sensors such as the Bosch DF11 or sim-
ilar to function correctly. These sensor types are used in new vehicles for ABS and ESP®
systems and can be carried over for the ABS M5. The DF11 sensor element was first de-
ployed by Bosch in 2006. Conventional inductive and Hall sensors found in older series
production ABS units will not function as transmitters for the ABS M5. If your vehicle con-
tains an older ABS system, you have to remove the wheel speed sensors and replace them
by the sensors includes in the package to be able to use the ABS M5.
If you are not sure if your sensors are compatible with ABS M5, Bosch Motorsport will
gladly check that for you.
If you are fitting your vehicle with an ABS system for the first time, you may need an en-
coder wheel for each wheel and a sensor mount to record the wheel speeds. Please pay
attention to the fitting position of the wheel speed sensors.

ABS M5 Clubsport includes all parts of Kit 1, but a different wiring harness, which cannot
be modified. By default, the wiring harness includes a 60 Ohm terminal resistance, which
can be replaced customer specific by a 120 Ohm or deleted completely, see Wiring Har-
ness ABS M5 Clubsport [} 50].
7 Optional Accessories
7.1 MSA Box II
ABS M5 communicates with your laptop via the MSA Box II. It has a USB connection to the
laptop and a motorsport connector to interface with the ABS M5 wiring harness. Commu-
nication via CAN.
The hydraulic power unit with attached control unit has six hydraulic connections: two for
the master cylinders (one for the front and one for the rear axle) and four for the brake
cylinders.
CAUTION
The hydraulic power unit is prefilled with brake fluid. During as-
sembly, make sure as little brake fluid as possible is lost.
When installing the hydraulic power unit, make sure the wheel brake line connections are
facing upwards to ensure air can be bled out. Secure the hydraulic power unit to the as-
sembly plate supplied with the ABS M5 using the M10x1 screw thread on the underside of
the casing. To reduce vibration, rubber pads should be fitted between the assembly plate
and the vehicle chassis. To allow easy connection of the main ABS ECU connector, main-
tain a 10 mm distance between the vehicle chassis and the bottom of the assembly plate.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Install the brake pressure sensors into the front and rear axle brake circuits between the
master cylinders and the hydraulic power unit. The sensors are metric thread, M10x1. Be-
fore assembly, fill the sensors with brake fluid, e.g. with a small medical syringe. So the
brake system can be fully bled, the measuring holes of the brake pressure sensors should
point upwards.
NOTICE
The use of other than the supplied sensors will destroy the unit per-
manently. ABS M4 sensors are not compatible with ABS M5.
Install into the front and rear axle brake circuit between the master cylinder and the hy-
draulic power unit as far away from the ABS unit as possible to avoid damages due to vi-
bration.
Fill sensor with brake fluid before installing.
For more on assembly see Offer Drawing: Brake Pressure Sensor [} 43].
Bosch Motorsport ABS M5 needs specific wheel speed signals, which are supplied only
from active speed sensors like e.g. from Bosch DF11-family. These double hall sensors op-
erate on the differential principle. The ABS M5 needs all four speed sensors to function;
otherwise the system assumes there is an error and shuts down. Therefore, you should ex-
clusively use the speed sensors as supplied in the ABS M5-Kit (see section Offer Drawing:
Wheel Speed Sensor [} 42]). Existing wheel speed sensors can be tested and approved
by us.
Pay attention to the polarity when you are connecting wheel speed sensors.
Install the sensor in the right direction, i.e. the encoder wheel and sensor must lie in the
defined installation position (fixation screw in rotation position of the encoder wheel). The
sensor will not work if you install it in a position other than the recommended installation
position. Make sure the sensor is mounted and secured as tight as possible to prevent
sensor errors or failures from vibration. You can find the sensor's dimensions and how to
install the sensor on Offer Drawing: Wheel Speed Sensor [} 42].
NOTICE
Securely mount sensors and pay attention to correct mounting position (sensors direction
sensitive). Choose sensor mounts that are as still as possible. Sensor dimensions and
mounting requirements can be found in the Offer Drawing: Wheel Speed Sensor [} 42].
NOTICE
ABS M5 uses a yaw rate sensor from the MM5.10 generation with CAN speeds of 500
kBaud or 1 MBaud. The yaw/acceleration sensor is specific to the system and should be
mounted as close as possible to the center of gravity of the vehicle. The sensor should be
assembled with the supplied damping plate. Position the sensor so that the connector is
pointing towards the rear of the vehicle.
NOTICE
NOTICE
While driving, the driver can use the ABS map switch to select different control settings
and find the optimum setting for his/her driving style. For this reason, make sure the
switch is mounted within reach of the driver. Many have found it helpful to fit a diagram
showing the current switch position, see also Features [} 6], diagram in chapter. The
switch position is also broadcast on the CAN Bus so it can be displayed with a dash (e.g.
the DDU 9 and DDU 10 from Bosch Motorsport).
NOTICE
The included wiring harness is structured in such a way that the power supply to the ABS
warning light (MIL) is branched off before the main switch for ABS M5 (terminal 30). This is
the only way to ensure that the ABS warning light (MIL) is lit when ABS M5 is not working.

The hydraulic unit is secured in the vehicle on the provided mounting plate. During opera-
tion, the hydraulic unit will vibrate. These vibrations are then transferred to the brake lines.
To prevent vibration-induced damage to the brake lines, they must not be secured at a
distance of up to 20 cm from the hydraulic unit so that they can vibrate freely.
NOTICE
We recommend using rigid metal brake lines; use flexible lines only
at points where they are necessary.
Do not secure brake lines 0 to 20 cm from the hydraulic unit. The
unit vibrates and would cause risk of damage to the lines.
Please use brake lines with a minimum inside diameter of 3.2 mm.
NOTICE
The higher the brake pressure is, the larger is the elasticity of the brake. A locking pres-
sure of max. 80 bar is optimal.
CAUTION
9 Laptop Communication
The MSA Box II from Bosch Motorsport is the communication interface between ABS M5
and the programming and diagnostic software on your laptop. The MSA Box II has two
connectors: a USB connector for connection to the laptop and a motor sports connector
for connection to the mating connector in the vehicle wiring harness.
NOTICE
Please make sure that the MSA Box II is not connected to the laptop
while you are installing the driver.
Connect the MSA Box II to the laptop after installing the driver. This will trigger the initial
communication between the laptop and the MSA Box II. Follow any prompts that may fol-
low to install the MSA Box II. Once you complete any prompts and computer recognizes
the MSA Box II, the MSA Box II is ready for use.
Steps:
1. Unplug the MSA Box II from the laptop.
2. Install the driver.
3. Plug the MSA Box II into the laptop.
You can connect ABS M5 to a laptop with the MSA Box II via the "diagnosis interface"
connector. The diagnosis interface connector should be placed so it is easily accessible.
You can use programming and diagnosis software, see section Programming and Dia-
gnosis Software [} 24], to program settings specific to the vehicle and open/delete error
messages.
If you try to launch the software without the MSA Box II to laptop connection, the status
indicator in Explorer lights red / yellow and an error message appears in the status bar:
The following problem message pops up when either the ABS-ECU gets no power supply
(e.g. ignition OFF) or the MSA Box II is not connected to the wiring harness. Please make
sure that the connection between the diagnosis software and MSA Box II is assured:
Red No connection
Yellow Connection in progress
or
MSA Box II cannot create a connection with the ABS (e.g. ABS switched off)
Green Connection successful, Online mode
White Offline mode
Red / Yel- MSA Box II is not connected to the laptop
low flashing
A green status indicator signalizes the online mode; a white status indicator signalizes the
offline mode.
NOTICE
You can only change the status when the ABS tree is closed.
Within the window “Vehicle Data ABS” a short declaration or the measuring unit for each
value can be shown. By holding the cursor over a data range, a small window with the de-
claration occurs.
You can save and open the vehicle data of the window “Vehicle Data ABS” separately.
Therefore, click with the right mouse button in the window. In this way, a text file can be
loaded into the system or the actual window can be saved.
NOTICE
NOTICE
You may want to be strategic about how you make this setting, for
example, making it the best compromise position for all conditions.
10.2.3 Testing
After assembling the system components, you need to carry out a function test before the
first test drive. This test will ensure all components (electrical and hydraulic) were as-
sembled correctly and are functioning properly. The vehicle should be placed on four jack
stands or on a hoist so that all four wheels can be moved freely. If there is no other op-
tion, you can lift and test each wheel separately. You will need an assistant to help you
check the hydraulic allocation of the wheels.
Step 1: Testing the communication with the ABS M5 ECU
See section Laptop Communication [} 23].
Step 2: Testing the wheel speed allocations
With the vehicle jacked up, spin individually all four wheels clockwise and check for the
proper front/back, left/right allocation. When you spin each wheel, the corresponding po-
sition should show a value in the RaceABS software under the “Testing” tab:
You just do this to see if a signal is received by the ABS unit. This is not a signal quality
check.
Step 3: Testing the hydraulic allocations
Have an assistant apply the brake pedal and maintain the brake pressure so all four
wheels of the jacked up vehicle are locked. Therefore, a brake pressure of 15 to 20 bar is
sufficient. Unlock each wheel successively by clicking on “Release Brake”. The selected
wheel should run free now.
NOTICE
Step 5: Testing the function of the brake pressure sensor and brake light switch
Start the RaceABS with connection to the MSA Box II and press the brake pedal for a few
seconds with slowly rising pressure. The digital display “Brake switch“ bit should toggle
from 0 to 1, see screenshot below.
If the bit does not toggle, check the pressure sensors. The brake light switch bls is a func-
tion of the pressure sensors.
The digital display „Pressure sensor“ should show a logical value, e.g. 3.87, in the screen-
shot below.
If the software displays no value or an illogical value, open the “ECU Info” tab and check
the error memory. Do you find errors relating to the brake pressure sensor? See section
ECU Info (Diagnostics) [} 33] for more information regarding ECU diagnostic errors.
Step 6: Testing the function of the ABS Map switch
Turn the 12-position ABS Map switch through full rotation. With every step, the number of
measuring points should increase by 1.
NOTICE
trapped in the accumulator of the ABS unit. It is recommended to perform the ABS unit
bleed after installation or if air got trapped in the brake lines and might got caught in the
ABS unit.
Click on the button “Start Wizard”, a new window will open and lead you step by step
through the instruction for bleeding the ABS unit. You will need three people to conduct
the instruction.
NOTICE
The Bleeding Wizard is only for bleeding the ABS hydraulic power
unit. The Bleeding Wizard is NOT to be used or substituted for
bleeding the other parts of the brake system, like lines and brake cyl-
inders. Make sure to bleed these other hydraulic parts of the brake
system before and after bleeding the hydraulic unit with the Repair
Bleeding Wizard.
During the ABS bleeding process the brake pedal should be actuated continuously except
when opening or closing brake bleeder valves.
NOTICE
For vehicles with brake balance bar, please open one front and one
rear bleeder valve for proper function of the balance bar during the
bleeding routine procedure.
NOTICE
Error log
If the warning light (MIL) is illuminated PERMANENTLY when you turn on the ignition or
the ABS M5, or while driving, there is a system error. Extract the system's internal error log
to analyze the error. You can access the log by clicking on the “ECU Info” tab in the
RaceABS software.
You’ll find a complete overview of error log entries in an Excel sheet on the ABS M5
product side at www.bosch-motorsport.com.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Then turn ABS M5 off and on again. After you deactivated the software, the indication
lamp will no longer glow.
NOTICE
If the faults are not all clearly described or if there is no error de-
scription, please check if you used the correct FPS-File or contact
Bosch Motorsport for update.
11 Startup Checklist
This short checklist is intended to supplement the ABS M5 Kit’s manual, not replace it.
Prior to using this checklist the user/installer should read the ABS manual, especially sec-
tion Assembling the Parts [} 17] to Laptop Communication [} 23].
Basics
– Hydraulic unit with attached control unit mounted correctly (mounting plate used,
brake lines facing upwards), see section Hydraulic Power Unit with attached Control
Unit [} 17].
– Brake pressure sensor and Yaw/Acceleration sensor installed in proper locations? See
section Brake Pressure Sensor [} 18] and Yaw/Acceleration Sensor [} 19].
– Everything plugged in to harness, power ring terminals connected to battery, ground
ring terminals connected to solid and clean chassis ground, circuit breakers installed
properly, ABS toggle switch turns off system. See section Brake Pressure Sensor [} 18]
and Yaw/Acceleration Sensor [} 19].
NOTICE
Error Notes
– In case of use of a wheel speed signal splitter: If the wheel speed signal splitter is dis-
connected, all four wheel speed sensors will have error entries.
Function Check
– While connected with the RaceABS software switch to the “Testing” page. Check all
sensors for plausibility and proper function. Delete the balance bars. Press brake
pedal: brake switch bit should toggle between 0 and 1, the display “Pressure sensor”
should show a logical value. Check sensor and balance bar, if the brake switch doesn’t
toggle. Rotate ABS map switch, the value “Multiswitch” should turn up clockwise.
Manually move yaw/accelerometer sensor to the right and left as well as to the front
and rear. The “Ax” and “Ay”-values should increase positive or negative analogue to
the Tilt. See section Testing [} 28].
– Put the car on jack stands so all wheels can be freely rotated. While connected with
the RaceABS software and viewing the "Testing" page, rotate each wheel and verify
the correct wheel speed responds in the "Testing" page, see section Testing [} 28].
– Click "Pump On" button on the “Testing”-page. The pump now runs for 10 seconds or
until you press the button again. After the pump shuts off, an assistant hold the brake
pedal down (Please check: all wheels have to be locked!) Next, while the assistant still
holds brake pedal down, click the "Release Brake" button for a given wheel (one at a
time). Verify that brake releases at that wheel by rotating the wheel before clicking
the next button. Repeat for each wheel.
NOTICE
– On the "Testing" page now decide between the "Repair Bleeding (Tandem MC)" and
“Repair Bleeding (Balanced Bar)”. Click on the button “Start wizard” at the bottom
right. Follow the instructions listed in the sub window in order to bleed the ABS hy-
draulic unit.
NOTICE
This will bleed the ABS hydraulic unit only, not the brake lines or the
wheel brake cylinders.
See chapter: Repair Bleeding Wizard [} 31]
– Bleed brakes in normal fashion, starting with the furthest brake from the master cylin-
der and finishing with the nearest. Check errors one last time, diagnosis any errors
present, then disconnect MSA Box II from ABS harness. Once MSA Box II is disconnec-
ted verify that MIL lamp turns off and stays off.
– Check for proper brake operation at low speeds first. Start with ABS map switch in a
neutral position (position 5 to 7).
NOTICE
Refer to manual for more information regarding the ABS map switch
position function. See chapter: ABS in Motorsport [} 5] and Features
[} 6]
