- Integrated Control Unit (ICU) - Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (2) and Antilock Brake Module (ABM) (1)
- Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS) - Four sensors (one sensor at each wheel making it a four-channel system)
The MK25e ICU is made up of the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) and the Antilock Brake Module (ABM). For additional information, refer to HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU), Description and MODULE, Anti-Lock Brake System, Description .
