Anti-Lock/Traction Control - 3.9L & 4.2L: Operation: Circuit: Notes

The Anti-Lock Brake System prevents wheel lockup during braking operations. This enables the driver to maintain vehicle stability and 'steerability' while braking.

The Electronic Traction Control System aids traction when a rear wheel spins or loses traction. The system works by applying the brake to the spinning rear wheel. The braking action allows more torque to be transferred and applied to the non-spinning rear wheel.
