Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Features/Construction
When the brake pedal is pressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such an event,
the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if the
rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels to
ensure maximum grip force from the tires, and it thereby ensures maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.
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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Features/Gonstruction (cont'd)
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump, pump motor and thedampjng chamber.
The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. lt is a circulating-type modulator because the brake fluid circulatesthrough the caliper, reservoir and the master cylinder.The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure reduction, pressure retaining and pressure intensifying modes.The hydraulic circuit is the independent four channel-type, one channel for each wheel.
SOLENOID VALVE
t-
Pressure intensifying mode: Inlet valve open, outlet valve closed,
Pressure retaining mode:
Pressure reduction mode:
Motor operation mode:
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.Inlet valve closed, outlet valve closed.
Caliper fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve.Inlet valve closed, outlet valve ooen
Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.When starting the pressure reduction mode. the pump motor is ON.When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF.The reservoir fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the mastercylinder.
PUMP MOTOR
19-30
www.emanualpro.com

Kickback'1. The motor operates when the ABS is functioning. and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master cylinder,
causing kickback at the brake pedal.
2. The ABS control unit operates the solenoid valve when the brake pedal is released after the initial diagnosis You may
hear the solenoid valve operate at this time, but it is normal
Pumo Motol
1. The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning
2. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor operation during acceleration. You may hear the motor operate at this
time, but it is normal.
Brake Fluid Replacement/Ail Bleeding
L Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures are the same as for vehicles without ABS To ease bleeding, start
with the front wheels.
Troubleshooting
1. The troubleshooting flowchart procedures assume that the cause of the problem is still present and the ABS indicator
is still on. Following the flowchart when the ABS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect diagnosis.
2. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same conditions
for troubleshooting.
Self-diagnosis is made at various times such as the initial diagnosis, except ABS control, during ABS control, during
acceleration, during the specified vehicle speed, etc. Therefore, the symptom canngt be checked unless the check
conditions match with the problem conditjons
3. When the ABS jndicator does not come on during the test-drive. but troubleshooting is performed based on the DTC,
check lor loose connectors, poor contact of the terminals, etc., before you start troubleshooting.
4. After troubleshooting, erase the DTC and test-drive the vehicle. Be sure the ABS indicator does not come on.
5. The connector illustratjons show the female terminals with a single outline and the male terminals with a double out-
l ne.
ABS Function Test
To simulate ABS operation and activate the solenoid valves and pump, use the Honda PGM Tester.
Connect the PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC). When the System Select menu is displayed, select the ABS
Test Mode menu, and follow the tester's prompts.

Removal/lnstallation
NOTE:
. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the painu if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off imme-
diately with water.
a Take care not to damage or deform the brake lines during removal and installation.
. To prevent the brakefluidfrom flowing, plug and coverthe hose ends and joints with a shop towel or equivalent mate-
rial,
Romoval
1. Disconnect the modulator unit and Dump motor connectors.
2. Disconnect the brake lines, then remove the modulator unit.
lnstallation
1. Install the modu lator u nit. then con nect the brake lines. Tighten the flare nuts to 15 N.m ( 1.5 kgf.m, 1 1 lbf.ft).
2. Connect the modulator unit and oumo motor connectors.
3. Bleed the brake system, staning with the front wheels.
4. Start the engine, and check that the ABS indicator goes off.
5. Test-drive the vehicle, and check that the ABS indicator does not come on,
NOTE: This illustration shows the '97 - 98 models. The'99 - 00 models are similar.
