Anti-Lock Brake System - Early: Operation
The ABS control unit senses reductions in front and rear wheel speed and modulates hydraulic pressure to brakes preventing wheel lock-up.
When wheel lock-up is detected, short pedal pulsations in rapid succession will be felt in brake pedal and steering wheel. Also, vehicle may vibrate slightly. This condition is normal. Pedal pulsation continues until there is no longer a need for anti-lock function or until vehicle is stopped.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid contacts a painted surface, wipe off immediately and clean with alcohol. Use only DOT 3 brake fluid from a sealed container. Do not mix brake fluid with any other type.
