NOTE:

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) may also be referred to as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) depending on the vehicle model year and configuration. Certain components may also reference ESP, ESC, or use the traction control symbol.

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Module is a microcontroller-based device which monitors the anti-lock brake system during normal braking and controls it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop. The ABS module also monitors the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

The ABS module (1) is mounted to the HCU (2) as part of the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The ABS module uses a 38-Way connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The power source for the ABS module is through the ignition switch in the RUN or ON position. The ABS module is on the CAN-C bus.
