1 Antilock Brake, Traction Control, and Stability Control Systems
49 Antilock Brake, Traction Control, and Stability Control Systems Prepared by Martin Restoule Algonquin College Chapter 49

2 Objectives Explain how antilock brake systems work to bring a vehicle to a controlled stop. Describe the differences between an integrated and a non-integrated antilock brake system. Briefly describe the major components of a two-wheel antilock brake system. continued… Chapter 49

3 Objectives Briefly describe the major components of a four-wheel antilock brake system. Describe the operation of the major components of an antilock brake system. Describe the operation of the major components of automatic traction and stability control systems. continued… Chapter 49

4 Objectives Explain the best procedure for finding ABS faults.
List the precautions that should be followed whenever working on an antilock brake system. continued… Chapter 49

5 ABS Features The ABS system pulses the brakes more rapidly than the driver can (up to 15 times per second). Pulsing the brakes prevents wheel lockup. Preventing wheel lockup provides for more stable stopping. Preventing wheel slip allows the wheels to turn as directed. continued… Chapter 49

6 A Common ABS System continued… Chapter 49

7 Hydraulic Components Control valve assembly Booster pump
Controls the release and application of brake system pressure to the wheel brake assemblies. Booster pump Provides pressurized hydraulic fluid for the ABS system. continued… Chapter 49

8 Hydraulic Components Booster/master cylinder assembly
Contains the valves and pistons used to modulate hydraulic pressure during ABS operation. continued… Chapter 49

9 Hydraulic Components Fluid accumulator
Stores fluid that is removed from the wheel circuits during the ABS cycle. continued… Chapter 49

10 Hydraulic Components Hydraulic control unit Hydraulic valves
Contains several components in one unit. Hydraulic valves Control and direct hydraulic pressure. Solenoid valves Main valve Wheel circuit valves continued… Chapter 49

11 Electrical/Electronic Components
Control module Controls ABS operation and monitors the system. continued… Chapter 49

12 Electrical/Electronic Components
Brake pedal switch Signals the control module when the brake is applied. Data Link Connector (DLC) Provides access to and/or control of vehicle information. Lateral position sensor Is used on some systems to monitor sideways movement of the vehicle. continued… Chapter 49

13 Electrical/Electronic Components
Pressure switch Controls pump operation and the low pressure warning lamp. Pressure differential switch Sends a signal to the control module when there is an undesirable difference of pressure at the wheel brake units. continued… Chapter 49

14 Electrical/Electronic Components
Wheel speed sensors Sends wheel speed information to the ABS module. Is usually comprised of a magnet and a coil of wire and produces an AC signal. continued… Chapter 49

15 A Typical Four-Wheel ABS System
continued… Chapter 49

16 ABS Types Integral Non-Integral
Combines the master cylinder, power booster, and ABS hydraulic circuitry in one unit. Non-Integral Uses a conventional power booster and master cylinder. continued… Chapter 49

17 ABS System Channels One-channel system Three-channel system
Only modulates both rear brakes at the same time. Three-channel system Has individual circuits to each front wheel and one circuit to both rear wheels. Four-channel system Controls each wheel separately. continued… Chapter 49

18 ABS Operating Modes Pressure hold (retaining)
No additional pressure is allowed to reach the brake. Pressure release (decrease) Pressure is released so the wheel can turn. Pressure apply (increase) Brake pressure is reapplied to the affected brake. continued… Chapter 49

19 A Typical Traction Control System
continued… Chapter 49

20 A Typical Traction Control System
The technology and hardware of antilock braking systems is used to control tire traction and vehicle stability. Automatic traction control (ATC) system uses the ABS pump to apply the brakes when a drive wheel attempts to spin and lose traction. The system works best when only 1 drive wheel has good traction. continued… Chapter 49

21 Typical Stability Control System
continued… Chapter 49

22 Stability Control System Operation
Like traction control systems, stability controls are based on and linked to the antilock brake system. On some vehicles the stability control system is also linked to the electronic suspension system. Stability control systems momentarily apply the brakes at any 1 wheel to correct oversteer or understeer. continued… Chapter 49

23 Desired Effects of Stability Control
continued… Chapter 49

24 Service Safety Precautions
Always use lines and hoses designed for ABS vehicles. Never use silicone brake fluid in an ABS system (Dot 3 is usually recommended). Always follow the proper bleeding procedure. Never open a bleeder screw with the system pressurized. continued… Chapter 49

25 Service Safety Precautions
Never disconnect or reconnect electrical connectors with the ignition switch on. Do not install electronic accessories near any control module. Keep the wheel speed sensors clean and follow the recommended installation and adjustment procedures. Never use a hammer to install speed sensor toothed rings. continued… Chapter 49

26 Diagnostic Tests Pre-diagnostic inspections and test drive
Warning light symptom troubleshooting On-board ABS control module (trouble code) testing Individual trouble code and component testing continued… Chapter 49

27 Visual Inspections Check fluid level.
Inspect hoses, lines, and fitting for leaks or damage. Inspect all brake components. Check for loose wheel bearings. Check outer CV joint alignment. Check tire tread depth. Check electrical connections for corrosion and damage. Inspect wheel sensors and wiring. continued… Chapter 49

28 Typical Wheel Speed Sensor Waveform
continued… Chapter 49

29 Summary DOT 3 is recommended for most antilock brake systems and some power brake systems. Modern antilock brake systems provide electronic/hydraulic pumping of the brakes up to 15 times per second. ABS systems are classified as integral and non-integral. continued… Chapter 49

30 Summary Integrated antilock brake systems combine the master cylinder, hydraulic booster, and hydraulic circuitry in a single assembly. On a non-integrated ABS, the master cylinder and hydraulic valve unit are separate assemblies, and a vacuum boost is used. continued… Chapter 49

31 Summary Automatic traction control (ATC) is a system that applies the brakes or cuts back engine power when a drive wheel attempts to spin and lose traction. Automatic stability systems correct oversteer and understeer by applying one wheel brake. continued… Chapter 49

32 Summary A malfunction in the ABS system typically causes the electronic control module to shut off or inhibit the system. A loss of hydraulic fluid or power booster pressure will disable the antilock brake system. Chapter 49
