ABS OPERATION AND VEHICLE PERFORMANCE
This ABS System represents the current state-of-
the-art in vehicle braking systems and offers the
driver increased safety and control during braking.
This is accomplished by a sophisticated system of
electrical and hydraulic components. As a result,
there are a few performance characteristics that may
at first seem different but should be considered nor-
mal. These characteristics are discussed below.
NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTION
Under normal braking conditions, the ABS System
functions the same as a standard brake system with
a diagonally split master cylinder and conventional
vacuum assist.
ABS SYSTEM OPERATION
If a wheel locking tendency is detected during a
brake application, the brake system will enter the
ABS mode. During ABS braking, hydraulic pressure
in the four wheel circuits is modulated to prevent
any wheel from locking. Each wheel circuit is
designed with a set of electric solenoids to allow mod-
ulation, although for vehicle stability, both rear
wheel solenoids receive the same electrical signal.
During an ABS stop, the brakes hydraulic system
is still a diagonally split. However, the brake system
pressure is further split into three control channels.
During antilock operation of the vehicle brake sys-
tem, the front wheels are controlled independently
and are on two separate control channels. The rear
wheels of the vehicle however, are controlled together
through one control channel.
The system can build and release pressure at each
wheel, depending on signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel and received at
the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB).
ABS operation is available at all vehicle speeds
above 3 to 5 mph. Wheel lockup may be perceived at
the very end of an ABS stop and is considered nor-
mal.
VEHICLE HANDLING PERFORMANCE DURING
ABS BRAKING
It is important to remember that an antilock brake
system does not shorten a vehicle’s stopping distance
under
all
driving
conditions,
but
does
provide
improved control of the vehicle while stopping. Vehi-
cle stopping distance is still dependent on vehicle
speed, weight, tires, road surfaces and other factors.
Though ABS provides the driver with some steer-
ing control during hard braking, there are conditions
however, where the system does not provide any ben-
efit. In particular, hydroplaning is still possible when
the tires ride on a film of water. This results in the
vehicles tires leaving the road surface rendering the
vehicle virtually uncontrollable. In addition, extreme
steering maneuvers at high speed or high speed cor-
nering beyond the limits of tire adhesion to the road
surface may cause vehicle skidding, independent of
vehicle braking. For this reason, the ABS system is
termed Antilock instead of Anti-Skid.
NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL FEEL
During ABS braking, some brake pedal movement
may be felt. In addition, ABS braking will create
ticking, popping and/or groaning noises heard by the
driver. This is normal due to pressurized fluid being
transferred between the master cylinder and the
brakes. If ABS operation occurs during hard braking,
some pulsation may be felt in the vehicle body due to
fore and aft movement of the suspension as brake
pressures are modulated.
At the end of an ABS stop, ABS will be turned off
when the vehicle is slowed to a speed of 3–4 mph.
There may be a slight brake pedal drop anytime that
the ABS is deactivated, such as at the end of the stop
when the vehicle speed is less then 3 mph or during
an ABS stop where ABS is no longer required. These
conditions will exist when a vehicle is being stopped
on a road surface with patches of ice, loose gravel or
sand on it. Also stopping a vehicle on a bumpy road
surface may activate the ABS because of the wheel
hop caused by the bumps.
TIRE NOISE AND MARKS
Although the ABS system prevents complete wheel
lock-up, some wheel slip is desired in order to
achieve optimum braking performance. Wheel slip is
defined as follows, 0 percent slip means the wheel is
rolling freely and 100 percent slip means the wheel is
fully locked. During brake pressure modulation,
wheel slip is allowed to reach up to 25 to30%. This
means that the wheel rolling velocity is 25 to 30%
less than that of a free rolling wheel at a given vehi-
cle speed. This slip may result in some tire chirping,
depending on the road surface. This sound should not
be interpreted as total wheel lock-up.
Complete wheel lock up normally leaves black tire
marks on dry pavement. The ABS System will not
leave dark black tire marks since the wheel never
reaches a fully locked condition. Tire marks may
however be noticeable as light patched marks.

Signal ABX-4 ABS brake system components. For
