ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased

vehicle stability and brake performance under most

braking conditions. The system operates with a separate

computer to modulate hydraulic pressure to prevent

wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery

ABS is activated during braking under certain road or

stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in-

clude ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose

debris, or panic stops.

You may experience the following when the brake system

goes into anti-lock:

• The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a

short time after the stop)

• A clicking sound of solenoid valves

• Brake pedal pulsations

• A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end
