Anti-lock Brake System (ABSI
Featu res/Construction
When the brake pedal is depressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop, In such a case,the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if therear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels toensure the grip force of the tires. and it thereby ensures the maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.Judging the vehicle speed. the ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed,then it controls the brake fluid pressure to attain the target slip rate.

Operation (cont'dl
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump, pump motor and thedamping chamber.
The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly, and it is also referred to as a circulating type because the brake fluidcirculates through the caliper, reservoir and the master cylinder.The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.The hydraulic circuit is the independent four channel type, one channel for each wheel.
