Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The ABS module manages anti-lock braking, while the ABS module with stability assist manages anti-lock braking, traction control and engine control systems to maintain vehicle control during deceleration and acceleration.

When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the ABS module does a preliminary electrical check, and at approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), the hydraulic pump motor is turned on for approximately one half-second. Any malfunction of the ABS disables the stability assist and the ABS warning indicator illuminates. However, the power-assist braking system functions normally.
