General information on this ABS
 
N01-0015

The ABS brake system is divided diagonally. The servo-assistance is effected pneumatically, by the vacuum brake servo unit.

Vehicles with Teves 20 GI ABS and ABS/EDL do not have a mechanical brake pressure regulator. A specially matched software in the control unit controls the rear axle brake pressure regulation.

→ The hydraulic unit -a- and control unit -b- form one component. Separating is only possible when removed.

New control units via the replacement parts service are not coded and require coding after installation.

Malfunctions on the ABS systems do not influence the brake system and servo. The conventional braking system remains functional even without ABS.
