Anti-lock braking system (ABS) — general information

This system is designed to automatically control wheel braking in various braking conditions (including hard braking) and is installed on cars 1992-98.

The system includes a hydraulic module with a control unit, vehicle speed and overload sensors (G-sensor).

A malfunction of the anti-lock braking system is signaled by a lamp on the instrument panel, while the operation of the brakes is preserved - only the automatic pressure control in the hydraulic circuits is violated.

On vehicles equipped with an ABS system, when accelerating over 6 km / h, a high-pitched noise is heard that comes from the engine compartment and is due to the operation of the self-diagnosis system and the increase in pressure in the system. In addition, when driving on a slippery road, or when braking hard, vibrations of the steering wheel and brake pedal may be felt.

System diagnostics are performed only in a car service. Faulty units of the system can be replaced independently.
