Section 117 (Anti-Lock Brake System): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) control module senses reductions in rear wheel speed and modulates hydraulic pressure to the brakes to prevent rear wheel lock-up. The ABS consists of a hydraulic unit, speed sensor, sensor rotor, pressure differential switch, ABS relay, short connector and ABS control module. See Fig 1. An ABS warning light is located on the instrument cluster.

NOTE: For more information on brake system, see BRAKE SYSTEM article.
