System consists of ABS control unit, wheel sensors, wheel pulsers (trigger wheel), ABS modulator unit (ABS pump, pump motor, inlet and outlet solenoid valves, reservoir and damping chamber), indicator light, master cylinder, power booster assembly, pump motor relay, fail-safe relay and connecting wiring. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .
