ABS isolation mode
• The ABS control module closes
the isolation solenoid as soon
as an impending wheel lockup
500 psi is detected
Isolation • This blocks additional pressure
from the master cylinder
entering the hydraulic circuit
Build for the locked wheel.
• Decay and build solenoids
remain closed
Decay • If the deceleration rate of the
wheel remains within limits no
further action is taken.

ABS Decay mode
Fluid from • If the deceleration rate of the
decay wheel exceeds the limits the ABS
solenoid
returns back control module will hold the
to reservoir 500 psi isolation solenoid closed.
• The decay solenoid is pulsed open
Isolation for a few milliseconds to decrease
pressure to the caliper.
Build • The build solenoid is kept closed.
• The ABS control unit will
continue to pulse the decay
solenoid until the rate the wheel is
Decay turning begins to match the speed
of the other wheels.

ABS Build mode
• If the wheel is now turning faster than
the other wheels the ABS control
module will keep the isolation
500 psi solenoid closed.
• The control module will pulse the
Isolation build solenoid for a few milliseconds
to increase pressure to the caliper.
• Decay solenoid is closed.
Build • The ABS control unit will continue to
pulse the build solenoid until the rate
the wheel is turning catches up to the
speed of the other wheels.
Decay • In most systems the pressure
reapplied to the locking wheel will
not exceed the original pressure at the
time the control module detected the
lockup.

Internal accumulators
• Modern ABS systems locate the
accumulator inside the hydraulic
unit.
• External accumulators were used
on first generation integrated
ABS/booster systems.

accumulator doesn’t need to be Photo courtesy of Robert Bosch Gmbh
Active Accumulators
• Modern ABS systems use active accumulators that store
high pressure brake fluid to restore line pressure as wheel
rotation accelerates.
• Active accumulators allow the brake pressure to be applied
to a caliper when the brake pedal is not depressed – for use
by the Automatic Traction Control system or Automatic
Stability Control.
• The active accumulator uses an electric pump, pressure
sensor and relay.
• The pump is mounted directly on the hydraulic unit.
• The pressure sensor and accumulator are located inside the
hydraulic unit.

Dynamic Rear Proportioning
• Dynamic Rear Proportioning does electronically what a
proportioning valve does mechanically.
• The ABS control module looks at the data from the front
and rear pressure sensors at the output of the hydraulic
unit.
• When the output pressure to the rear brakes reaches a
preset level the ABS control module closes the isolation
solenoids to the rear brakes – preventing any further
rise in pressure.
• The pressure to the front brakes may continue to rise
but the pressure at the rear is limited.
• This process occurs when all ABS wheel speed sensors
are at the same RPM.

and is normally center of the vehicle
mounted below usually on the floor

Fun Fact
Visual Inspection
• Check the condition of the tone rings
– Do they have any chips or missing teeth
– Are they aligned with the wheel speed sensor tip
• Does the gap between the tone ring and sensor tip
appear normal
• Check for recent repairs
– New rotors, CV joints and wheel bearings
– If the new tone rings that came with a different new of teeth
the ABS system will not work.

Testing the sensor voltage output
• You will need two small jumper wires
with very small terminal pins to connect
to the sensor electrical terminals.
