Anti-lock braking system (ABS) use electronic controls to maintain wheel rotation under
hard braking that would otherwise lock a vehicles wheels. Keeping the wheels rotating
increase vehicle stability, especially when tire/roadway friction is reduced or varying, as
when the pavement is wet . prior general understanding of the relationship between
improved braking and safety together with earlier specific literature on antilock braking,
leads one to anticipate a complex interaction between ABS and safety.
Test track evaluations have convincingly demonstrated the technical advantages of ABS
under a wide variety of condition . a study analyzing historical traffic crash data for a
non-ABS vehicle fleet predicted that universal ABS in Germany could diminish severe
crashes by 10 to 15%.

TYPE OF ABS
This type is generally used for FF (front engine front driving) car which has X-brake
lines. Front wheels are independently controlled and rear wheel control usually
follows a select-low logic for vehicle stability while ABS operation
This type is generally used for FR(front engine rear driving)car which has H-
brake lines.
Front wheels are independent controlled and rear wheels are controlled together
by on a brake pipe on the basis of select-low logic
Front wheels are controlled independently but rear wheels are controlled
together by one wheels speed sensor
(NORMAL BRAKING)
As well known from the conventional brake system the pedal force applied by the driver
is assisted by a vacuum booster
Out of ABS range ,no current flows from the ABS control unit to the inlet and outlet
solenoid valves
The braking pressure from the master cylinder is delivered to each wheels sylinder via
the inlet solenoid valve
ABS OPERATION
(HOLD PRESSURE)
When a wheels lock-up begins the ABS control unit sends electrical current to the inlet
solenoid valve
This allow the valve to overcome the spring force closing the inlet port and cutting off
the passage between the master cylinder and the wheels cylinder
This time outlet valves is not activated remaining it closed therefore brake fluid pressure
acting on the wheels cylinder is hold at its current level
Speed sensor's
INSTRUCTION
The magnetic flux field at the sensor responds as the teeth on the sensor gear pass
by ,generating AC voltage . the amplitude of this AC sensor gear increase and
rises in response to higher wheel speeds

TABLE OF CONTENT
ABS is a brake system which controls the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure of all 4
wheels during sudden braking and braking on slippery road surfaces, preventing the
wheels from locking. The ABS system enables steering around an obstacle with a
greater degree of certainly even when panic braking. It also enables stopping in a panic
brake while keeping the effect upon the stability and steerability to a minimum, even on
curves.
The functions of the ABS is to help maintain directional stability and vehicle steerability
on most road conditions. However the system cannot prevent the vehicle from skidding
if the cornering speed limit is exceeded.
In case a malfunction occurs, a diagnosis function and fail safe system have been
adopted for the ABS to increase serviceability.
FUNCTION MODULATOR
ABS modulator valves regulate the air pressure to the brakes during ABS action. When
not receiving commands from the ECU, the modulator valve allows air to flow freely and
has no effect on the brake pressure. The ECU commands the modulator valve to either:
The wheel speed sensor has two main components: the exciter and the pickup. Other
components include associated wiring and mounting equipment.
Exciter - The exciter is a ring with notched teeth. The most commonly used
exciter has 100 evenly spaced teeth, but the number of teeth can vary
