Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) allows driver to stop in shortest distance while maintaining steering control. System consists of a master cylinder/booster assembly, Anti-Lock Brake Control Module (ABCM), Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), electric pump/motor, brake pressure control valve, 4 wheel sensors, and ANTI-LOCK and BRAKE warning lights.

Traction Assist (TA) works with ABS to control rear wheel spin when vehicle is accelerated on slippery or loose surfaces.
