Lexus SC300 / Lexus SC400. Manual - part 256
ANTI–LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
BR0EU–04
DESCRIPTION
ABS is a brake system which controls the brake cylinder hydraulic pressure to all 4 wheels during sudden
braking and braking on slippery road surfaces, preventing the wheels from locking. ABS provides the
following benefits:
(1) Enables steering round an obstacle with a greater degree of certainty even when panic braking.
(2) Enables stopping during panic braking while keeping the effect upon stability and steerability to a mini-
mum, even on curves.
In case a malfunction occurs, a diagnosis function and fail–safe system have been adopted for the ABS.
