GENERAL INFORMATION
Description

LTSM120040
This Antilock Brake System (ABS) uses components of the base brake system, but also features the following com-
ponents:
• Hydraulic Control Unit and Antilock Brake System Module (ABS module)
• Wheel Speed Sensors (wheel speed sensor) - Four sensors (one sensor at each wheel making it a four-chan-
nel system)
The purpose of the ABS is to prevent wheel lockup under braking conditions on virtually any type of road surface.
Antilock braking is desirable because a vehicle that is stopped without locking the wheels retains directional stability
and some steering capability. This allows the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle during braking.
