ABS Braking Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Land Rover LR4, 2012 Land Rover LR4, 2011 Land Rover LR4, and 2010 Land Rover LR4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module determines that anti-lock brake system (ABS) braking is necessary, it energizes the inlet and outlet valves of the related brake and starts the return pump. The inlet valve closes to isolate the brake from pressurized fluid; the outlet valve opens to release pressure from the brake into the accumulator and the return pump circuit; the reduced pressure allows the wheel to accelerate. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) module then operates the inlet and outlet valves to modulate the pressure in the brake to apply the maximum braking effort without locking the wheel. Control of the valves for each wheel takes place individually.
