Lotus Service Notes
Brake Release
When no further wheel locking is sensed by the ECM, the ABS becomes inactive with the isolation valve
open (solenoid de-energised) to allow direct communication between the master cylinder and wheel brake
circuit, and the dump valve closed (solenoid de-energised) to seal off the pressure relief circuit. The pump will
remain running for a short time to help drain any fluid from the accumulator, whose piston is returned to its start
position under the action of the spring, and return the fluid to the master cylinder reservoir.
