ABS Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the vehicle
speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration based on the
rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and it transmits the control signal to the modulator unit
solenoid valve when the slip rate is high
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensi{ying modes.
Self-diagnosis Function
The ABS control unit is equipped with a main cPU and a sub cPU, that check each other for problems.
The CPUs check the circuit of the system.
When the CPUS detect failure, they shift to the "system down mode" or the "control inhibition mode".
The self-diagnosis can be classitied into these four categories:
O: Initial diagnosis
O: Except ABS control
O; During ABS control
@: During warning
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS system can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding. and checking wheel sensor signals, use the Honda
PGIM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.

Wheel Sensor
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type. As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic
coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects
the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects the wheel speed
at LOW SPEED

When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the outlet valve opens momentarily to reduce the caliper
fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is restored. the inlet valve opens momentarily to
increase the caliDer fluid oressure.
