NOTE:
For more information on brake system, see DISC & DRUM article.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during heavy braking. This allows operator to maintain steering control while stopping vehicle in shortest distance possible. System consists of a hydraulic unit which is integrated with ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU), wheel speed sensors, ABS rotor, Data Link Connector (DLC), brakelight switch and ANTI-LOCK warning light. See Fig 1 . ABS has a self-diagnostic system to indicate a system malfunction by monitoring stored ABS ECU Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
