Transcript ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SYSTEMS

Automotive Technology
 Chapter
Objectives
• Explain how antilock brake systems work
to bring a vehicle to a controlled stop.
• Describe the differences between an
integrated and a nonintegrated ABS.
• Briefly describe the major components of a
two-wheel antilock brake system.
• Briefly describe the major components of a
four-wheel antilock brake system.
• Describe the operation of the major
components of an antilock brake system.
• Describe the operation of the major
components of automatic traction and
stability control systems.
• Explain the best procedure for finding
ABS faults.
• List the precautions that should be
followed whenever working on an ABS.
First introduced on 1954 Lincoln
 1978 Mercedes made first ABS that
worked well
 Can’t defy the law of nature or
physics
 Reduces distance to stop
 Most effective on dry concrete

Antilock Brakes





Normal driving will not notice difference
Anti-lock Event
Unrestricted tire rotation is 0% slip
Tire locked up is 100% slip
When we have 100% slip, the tire loses
traction and vehicle motion changes into
heat energy. (not very effective!)
Maximum Braking Force
Between 10 and 20 Percent Slip
WET CONCRETE


Locked wheels
prevent directional
control
Wheel lock up can
be prevented by
limiting brake
pressure to a point
just short of lockup.
• Pressure Modulation
• Pedal Feel

Diagonally Split System
• Controls Two Hydraulic circuits (2 channel)

Front/Rear Split System
• Controls Three Hydraulic circuit (3 channel)

Full Four Wheel System
• Controls Four Hydraulic Circuits (4 channel)
(page 203) Usually intergrated with traction
control
Page 228C
Normal operation when in conventional
mode (if warning light, disables ABS)
 Heavy braking causes hydraulic pressure
modulation (Pedal Feel)
 Integrated System (Combined parts)227C
 Non-Integrated System (Separate Parts)
 ABS operates independently of base
system

ACCUMULATOR
Stores high
pressure brake
fluid from Pump
Supplies high
pressure fluid in
ABS mode
2800 to 3400 PSI
Must bleed before
replacement or
service
257C
PUMP AND MOTOR
Motor is 12V Electric (235C)
 Works independently of the base
brake system
 Pressurizes brake fluid up to 2800
psi.
 Turns on when ever pressure drops
below a predetermined level
 Some are replaceable seperately

WHEEL SPEED SENSORS



Detects rotation of
wheel

SELF DIAGNOSTICS



Each time Ignition
is turned on ABS
does a self
diagnostic check.
Some systems do
check while car is
moving.
