Lotus Service Notes
Pressure Isolation (Pressure Maintain)
If signals received from the wheel speed sensors indicate imminent lock up of the LH front wheel, the first
step in the anti-lock sequence is to isolate that wheel brake circuit from the master cylinder. The ECM ener-
gises the isolator valve solenoid, which closes the valve against spring pressure and maintains existing pres-
sure in the left hand front brake circuit regardless of any increase in pedal pressure.
