Anti-Lock Brake System: Description
NOTE:
This article also applies to Infiniti I30. For I30 coverage, refer to Maxima, unless otherwise indicated.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) prevents wheel lock-up during abrupt braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. The system detects wheel rotation rate and electronically controls fluid pressure applied to brakes. The Traction Control System (TCS) limits wheel spin during acceleration on slippery surfaces by cutting fuel to certain cylinders and changing transmission shift points. ABS/TCS components include ABS/TCS control unit, ABS actuator assembly, TCS OFF switch, 2 front wheel sensors and 2 rear wheel sensors. See Fig 1 .
