The ABS module is secured to a mounting bracket located in the LH front wheel arch. The module is mounted on the rear face of the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), which it uses to control all braking and stability functions by modulating hydraulic pressure to the individual wheel brakes.

Two different ABS modules are available; one for vehicles with standard Speed Control, one for vehicles fitted with Adaptive Speed Control. Both incorporate analogue valves which offer refined pressure control and reduced noise levels over previously used systems.

If an ABS modulator fault is detected, 'ABS FAULT' will be displayed in the instrument cluster message center and the amber warning indicator will illuminate. Refer to Information and Message Center article.

CAUTION: The ABS module and the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) are a single unit and must not be separated.
