Anti-Lock Brake System: Description

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) allows the driver to stop in the shortest distance while maintaining steering control. System consists of a master cylinder/booster assembly, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), electric pump/motor, pedal travel switch, 4 wheel sensors, and 2 warning lights (ANTI-LOCK and BRAKE).

Some vehicles are equipped with optional Traction Assist (TA). Traction assist works with the ABS to control rear wheel spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces.
