Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes. ABS is an advanced
electronic braking system that will help prevent a
braking skid.

When you start your engine, or when you begin to drive
away, your anti-lock brake system will check itself.
You may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise while
this test is going on, and you may even notice that
your brake pedal moves or pulses a little. This is normal.

If there’s a problem with
the anti-lock brake system,
this warning light will
stay on. See

Anti-Lock

Brake System Warning
Light 
on page 3-38.

Let’s say the road is wet and you’re driving safely.
Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam
on the brakes and continue braking. Here’s what
happens with ABS:

A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If
one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer
will separately work the brakes at each front wheel
and at both rear wheels.
