Anti-Lock Brake System: Description
Swift is equipped with ABS VI anti-lock brake system. ABS-VI system uses electric motors to modulate pressure control pistons. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) operates on each front wheel and both rear wheels. ABS-VI system consists of Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), system enable relay, 4 wheel speed sensors, actuator unit, 3 warning lights and brake switch.
EBCM uses signals from wheel speed sensor to determine when a wheel is about to lock and adjusts hydraulic pressure to maintain optimum braking. ABS-VI cannot increase brake pressure greater than master cylinder pressure generated by driver. ABS-VI cannot apply brakes by itself.
