Anti-lock Brake System (ABSI
Featu res/Construction
When the brake pedal is depressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop, In such a case,the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if therear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels toensure the grip force of the tires. and it thereby ensures the maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.Judging the vehicle speed. the ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed,then it controls the brake fluid pressure to attain the target slip rate.

ABS Control Unit
Main 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 is a three-mode system, that is pressure reduction, pressure retaining and pressure intensi-
fying modes.
Self -diagnosis Funqtion
The ABS control unit is equipped with a main CPU and a sub CPU, and the CPUS check each other'
The CPUs check the circuit of the svstem.
When the CPUS detect failure, they shift to the "system down mode" or the "control inhibition mode"
The self-diagnosis can be classifield into these four categories:
O: Initial diagnosis
@: Except ABS control
@: During ABS control
@: During warning
On-board Diagnosis Funstion
The ABS control unit is connected to the data link connector {16P).
The ABS system can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.

Anti-lock Brake System {ABS)
Operation (cont'dl
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump, pump motor and thedamping chamber.
The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly, and it is also referred to as a circulating type because the brake fluidcirculates through the caliper, reservoir and the master cylinder.The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.The hydraulic circuit is the independent four channel type, one channel for each wheel.

Pressure intensifying mode: Inlet valve open, outlet valve closed
Pressure retaining mode:
Pressure reducing mode:

when the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes to retain the caliper fluid pressure
When the wheel speed drops further, 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 caliper fluid pressure.
Wheel SensoJ
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.
There are four wheel sensors, one for each wheel
The gear pulser has 50 teeth.
