Anti-Lock Brake System

The anti-lock brake control module manages anti-lock braking, while the anti-lock brake control 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 put in the RUN position, the module will do 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 anti-lock brake control system will disable the stability assist and the anti-lock brake warning indicator will illuminate. However, the power-assist braking system will function normally.
