Anti-Lock Brake System: Description
The Bosch 2U Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) increases vehicle steerability, directional stability and optimum deceleration in severe braking conditions on most road surfaces. The ABS monitors wheel speed and controls brake line pressure to eliminate uncontrolled skidding.
The ABS consists of an Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), hydraulic modulator, solenoid valves, pump motor, ABS valve relay, pump relay, wheel speed sensors on front wheels and rear axle speed sensor on rear axle differential. See Fig 1.
