[QUOTE="muhaiminrahim, post: 595310, member: 22911"] [B]wikipedia[/B] An anti-lock braking system (ABS, from German: Antiblockiersystem) is a safety system that [U]allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to continue interacting tractively with the road surface[/U] as directed by driver steering inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (that is, ceasing rotation) and therefore avoiding skidding. [B]about.com[/B] Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) operate as follows: 1. When the brakes are applied, fluid is forced from the brake master cylinder outlet ports to the HCU inlet ports. This pressure is transmitted through four normally open solenoid valves contained inside the HCU, then through the outlet ports of the HCU to each wheel. - The primary (rear) circuit of the brake master cylinder feeds the front brakes. - The secondary (front) circuit of the brake master cylinder feeds the rear brakes. - If the anti-lock brake control module senses a wheel is about to lock, based on anti-lock brake sensor data, it closes the normally open solenoid valve for that circuit. This prevents any more fluid from entering that circuit. 2. The anti-lock brake control module then looks at the anti-lock brake sensor signal from the affected wheel again. 3. If that wheel is still decelerating, it opens the solenoid valve for that circuit. 4. Once the affected wheel comes back up to speed, the anti-lock brake control module returns the solenoid valves to their normal condition allowing fluid flow to the affected brake. 5. The anti-lock brake control module monitors the electromechanical components of the system. 6. Malfunction of the anti-lock brake system will cause the anti-lock brake control module to shut off or inhibit the system. However, normal power-assisted braking remains. 7. Loss of hydraulic fluid in the brake master cylinder will disable the anti-lock system. 8. The 4-wheel anti-lock brake system is self-monitoring. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the anti-lock brake control module will perform a preliminary self-check on the anti-lock electrical system indicated by a three second illumination of the yellow ABS wanting indicator. 9. During vehicle operation, including normal and anti-lock braking, the anti-lock brake control module monitors all electrical anti-lock functions and some hydraulic operations. 10. Each time the vehicle is driven, as soon as vehicle speed reaches approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), the anti-lock brake control module turns on the pump motor for approximately one-half second. At this time, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal function of the self-check by the anti-lock brake control module. 11. When the vehicle speed goes below 20 km/h (12 mph), the ABS turns off. 12. Most malfunctions of the anti-lock brake system and traction control system, if equipped, will cause the yellow ABS warning indicator to be illuminated. [URL="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/tp-tp13082-absind_e-127.htm"]What you should know about ... Anti-lock Braking System[/URL] [B]BMW TIS[/B] ABS prevents the wheel from locking when the brakes are applied. Advantage: Optimum utilisation of road surface friction- the vehicle remains stable and steerable. Brake pressure is regulated at all wheels to ensure each wheel runs with optimum slip. When this happens, slip is controlled so that the maximum possible and lateral stability forces can be transmitted. [/QUOTE]
