New Features - 2/2 Solenoid Valves,ABS

Solenoid Valves  

2/2 solenoid valves are used in the Vectra-B.  

The valves are pulse actuated. In contrast to the Vectra-A/Cavalier, they are not flooded. They are actuated directly by the ABS control unit. Both systems are equipped with 8 solenoid valves. The 2/2 way valves are smaller than the previously used valves.  

This results in:  

-  faster response,  

-  higher resistance to malfunction and  

-  reduced weight.  

The ABS 5/TC has 4 additional 2/2 solenoid valves for brake compensation when the traction control is active.
