Traction Control: Abs: Description
Grand Vitara is equipped with an ABS Type 2 anti-lock brake systems. ABS system uses electric motors to modulate pressure control pistons. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) operates on each front and rear wheel. ABS system consists of Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), 4 wheel speed sensors, actuator unit, "G" sensor (4WD only) and brake switch. See Fig 1 . ABS actuator unit (hydraulic unit) incorporates EBCM, pump motor relay and fail-safe relay.
EBCM uses signals from wheel speed sensor to determine when a wheel is about to lock and adjusts hydraulic pressure to maintain optimum braking. ABS cannot increase brake pressure greater than master cylinder pressure generated by driver. ABS cannot apply brakes by itself.
