ANTI-LOCKBRAKESYSTEM
Purpose

The Anti-Lock BrakeSystem (ABS)consists ofelectronic andhydraulic components. Itallows forcon-
trol ofbraking forcesothat locking ofthe wheels canbeavoided.
The ABS:
1) Improves propertracking performance throughsteering wheeloperation.
2) Eases obstacles tobe avoided throughsteering wheeloperation.
3) Improves vehiclestability bypreventing flatspins.

Operation

• When thevehicle speedisless than 10km/h (6MPH) thissystem doesnotwork.
• The Anti-Lock BrakeSystem (ABS)hasself-test capabilities. Thesystem turnsonthe ABS warning
light for1second afterturning theignition switchON.The system performs anothertestthefirst time
the vehicle reaches 6km/h (4MPH). Amechanical noisemaybeheard asthe ABS performs aself-
test. This isanormal partofthe self-test feature.Ifa malfunction isfound during thischeck, theABS
warning lightwillcome on.
• During ABSoperation, amechanical noisemaybeheard. Thisisanormal condition.

Description
SENSOR

The sensor unitconsists ofagear-shaped sensorrotoranda
sensor element. Theelement contains abar magnet around
which acoil iswound. Thesensor isinstalled onthe back side
of the brake rotor.Sine-wave currentisgenerated bythe sen-
sor asthe wheel rotates. Thefrequency andvoltage increase(s) •
as the rotating speedincreases. :•

V: Induced electromotive force

SBR124B
SBR049DA CONTROL
UNIT

The control unitcomputes thewheel rotating speedbythe sig-
nal current sentfrom thesensor. Thenitsupplies aDC current
to the actuator solenoid valve.Italso controls ON-OFFopera-
tion ofthe valve relayandmotor relay.Ifany electrical malfunc-
tion should bedetected inthe system, thecontrol unitcauses
the warning lamptolight up.Inthis condition, theASS willbe
deactivated bythe control unit,andthevehicle's brakesystem
reverts tonormal operation.

Removal
1. Remove thedrive shaftandrear wheel hub.Refer toFA
section ("DriveShaft",FRONTAXLE") andRAsection
("Wheel Hub",REARAXLE").
2. Remove thesensor rotorusing suitable puller,driftand
bearing replacer.

Installation
Install thesensor rotor.Forfront sensor rotor,usehammer and
wooden block.Forrear sensor rotor,usesuitable driftand
press.
• Always replace sensorrotorwithnewone.
