In a conventional brake system, if the brake pedal is depressed very hard, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such a case, the stability of the vehicle is reduced if the rear wheels are locked, and manoeuvrability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition.

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) modulates the pressure of the brake fluid applied to each front caliper or both rear calipers, thereby preventing the locking of the wheels, whenever the wheels are likely to be locked due to hard braking. It then restores normal hydraulic pressure when there is no longer any possibility of wheel locking.

Features

• Increased braking stability can be achieved regardless of changing driving condition.
• The manoeuvrability of the vehicle is improved as the system prevents the front wheels from locking.
• When the anti-lock brake system goes into action, a kickback is felt on the brake pedal.
• The system is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. When an abnormality is detected, the ABS indicator light comes on. The location of the system's trouble can be diagnosed from the frequency of the system indicator light blinks.
