Abs Plus Description

ABS Plus operates like Traction Control except that the brake pedal must be applied for ABS Plus to be activated. Also, in contrast to the ABS function, a brake is applied rather than released. When the brake pedal is depressed far enough to close the brake lamp switch, the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) will monitor and compare the speeds of the front (driven) wheels. When the CAB detects that a wheel is turning disproportionately faster then vehicle speed, it will apply the brake at that wheel to control a possible skid and help maintain directional control.

The driver may report the sound of the ABS pump motor running when the brake is not applied hard enough to cause an ABS event.
