Purpose
NMBR0089
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so locking of the wheels can be avoided.
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation.
3) Improves vehicle stability.
Operation
NMBR0090
I
When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
I
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second each time the ignition switch is turned “ON”. After the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
turns off. The system performs a test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A mechanical noise
may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test feature. If a mal-
function is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
I
While driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.
