ABS General Description

Hydraulic Flow:

The purpose of the DELCO Bosch 5 Antilock Brake System (ABS) is to minimize wheel slip during heavy braking. The DELCO Bosch-5 performs this function by monitoring the speed of each wheel and controlling the brake fluid pressure to each wheel independently during a braking event. This allows the driver to retain directional stability and better steering capability. The Traction Control System (TCS) also monitors rear wheel speed and compares it to the speed of the front wheel. If excessive front wheel speed is detected in either front wheel the TCS will be activated. The TCS uses the following to improved traction and vehicle stability:
^ Engine Torque Management
^ Front Brake Intervention
