Anti-Lock Brake System: Description
CAUTION:
See ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) control module senses reductions in front and rear wheel speed, and modulates hydraulic pressure to the brakes to prevent wheel lock-up. The ABS consists of a hydraulic unit, 4 wheel speed sensors and sensor rotors, ABS relay (fail-safe relay and motor relay), pump motor and ABS control module.
An ABS warning light is located on right side of instrument cluster. Traction Control System (TCS) is standard on Millenia S models and is available as an option on all other models. TCS improves traction and safety by regulating engine torque. Some ABS electrical components are shared with TCS. An TCS warning light is located on left side of instrument cluster.
