DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Anti-Lock Control
MK70 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The MK70 ABS is similar to the MK60 in
construction and design. The main differences are:
New ABS control unit
New hydraulic lines through a revised valve
block
New wiring harness and electrical connector
(fewer occupied pins)
The MK70 ABS system will be installed from
0512004 in vehicles which only have one ABS
function.
Vehicles with
ESPlBrake Traction Control System
(BTCS) will continue to be equipped with the
MK60.

Item Description
Fpump motor I
1 2 I Valve block I
1 3 1 ABS control unit I
The MK60 ABS has been designed specifically for
small to medium size vehicles. Compared to the
MK20 ABS system, it has been possible to reduce
the size of the hydraulic and electric components
(e.g. hydraulic valves and solenoids) and the
housing.
As a result, the overall weight of the ABS hydraulic
unit has been significantly reduced.
The hydraulic unit consists of the pump motor, the
valve block with
8 hydraulic valves and the
electronic control unit.
The ABS control unit actuates the ABS warning lamp in the instrument cluster via the CAN
databus.
The MK60 ABS is a 413 system. This means that
the wheel speed is measured individually for each
wheel (4 wheel speed sensors).
ABS controlled braking is provided individually for the front wheels and jointly for the two rear wheels
(3 control channels; select-low control), i.e. the
ABS control for the rear wheels is governed by the
wheel closest to locking up.
