ABS SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Antilock Braking System (ABS) consists of a con-
ventional hydraulic brake system plus antilock compo-
nents. The conventional brake system includes a
vacuum booster, master cylinder, front disc brakes, rear
drum brakes, interconnecting hydraulic brake pipes and
hoses, brake fluid level sensor and the BRAKE indicator.
The ABS components include a hydraulic unit, an elec-
tronic brake control module (EBCM), two system fuses,
four wheel speed sensors (one at each wheel), intercon-
necting wiring, the ABS indicator, and the rear drum
brake. See "ABS Component Locator" in this section for
the general layout of this system.
HYDRAULIC UNIT
The hydraulic unit with the attached EBCM is located
between the surge tank and the fire wall on the right side
of the vehicle. The basic hydraulic unit configuration
consists of return pump motor, return pump, four isola-
tion valves, four dump valves, two Low Pressure Accu-
mulators (LPA), two High Pressure Attenuators (HPA).
The hydraulic unit controls hydraulic pressure to the
front calipers and rear wheel cylinders by modulating hy-
draulic pressure to prevent wheel lockup.
Isolation valve
The isolation valve is placed in the brake fluid path from
the master cylinder to the relevant brake caliper and al-
lows free flow as commanded by the driver during nor-
mal braking and reapply phases.
In the isolation phase the coil moves the armature down,
which closes the normally open isolation orifice and pre-
vents any further increase of pressure in the brake. The
valve also remains closed during the dump phase.
The lip seal provides a one way return path for brake
fluid to flow through in:
1. Foot off pedal during isolation.
2. Residual LPA fluid.

Dump Valve
The dump valve creates a flow path from the isolation
cartridge (brake side) to the low pressure accumulator
(LPA). The valve keeps this path permanently closed ex-
cept during the dump phase in the ABS mode. On ac-
tivation (dump phase), the coil moves up the armature
which opens the normally closed dump orifice and allow
to drain the pressure in the brake line with the brake fluid
flowing into the LPA.
The lip seal provides a return path for residual brake
fluid in the LPA.
Low Pressure Accumulator (LPA)
LPA provides a variable chamber for brake fluid to be
quickly pushed in through the dump valve at the begin-
ning of a departure. This chamber then acts as a reser-
voir which buffers the pump.
High Pressure Attenuator (HPA)
The HPA is in between the pump and the ISO valve
(master cylinder side) and uses the bulk mode of the
contained plastic damper and orifice size to dump out
the pressure oscillations from the pump to reduce the
