Electronic Control Unit (Ecu)

ECU computes the acceleration, deceleration and slip factors as generated from rotating wheels via speed sensors. ECU program can determine correct response behavior of system based on these computations. ECU response is sent by electronic signals to electromagnetically operated valves in ABS hydraulic unit.

The ECU contains electronic monitoring circuits. These monitoring circuits ensure proper operation of ABS. If control unit detects a defect in wiring harness or any electrical part of the equipment, the monitoring circuit will switch off ABS, permitting normal use of standard brake system. ANTI-LOCK indicator light will glow.

ECU is located in right rear corner of engine compartment.
