The document discusses the components and operation of an anti-lock braking system (ABS). ABS prevents wheel lockup during hard braking by using sensors to detect wheel speed, allowing a computer to quickly modulate brake pressure and keep the wheels rolling. The key components are wheel speed sensors, brake calipers, a hydraulic motor, and an electronic control module which coordinates pressure based on sensor readings to maintain stability and steering control during emergency stops.
4. ABS:- Anti-lock Braking System
The skidding and loss of control was caused by the locking of wheels
The release and reapply of the brake pedal will avoid the locking of
the wheel which in turn avoid the skidding
ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during
braking
5. Main components in ABS
wheel speed sensors
Brake calipers
A hydraulic motor
A quick thinking computer (BCM and ECU) which coordinates the whole
process
6. Wheel Speed Sensor-WSS
It measure instantaneous speed of a wheel and deliver the value to the ECU
It consist of a toothed ring and a pickup
9. Hydraulic motor
analyzed data from the ECU causes valves within the ABS pump to open and close
as rapidly as necessary to control fluid pressure in the specific braking circuit
10. BCM and ECU
Brake Control Module and Electronic Control Module
embedded system in automotive electronics that controls one or more of the electrical systems or
subsystems in a vehicle
11. ABS warning lamp
ABS warning lamp will glow on your dashboard or cluster panel when the ABS is failed
