 Physical damage
 Debris on the wheel speed sensor or the

 Loose or worn wheel bearing
Wheel Speed Sensor 0F, 18 or 5A
 Loose or improperly mounted sensor
 Air gap between the wheel speed sensor
and the encoder ring too large
 Water intrusion in the wiring harness
The wheel speeds are detected by active wheel speed sensors and encoder rings. The encoder rings consist of
permanent magnets located in the hub. As the wheel spins the magnetic encoder ring rotates and passes by the
wheel speed sensor head; which generates a sign wave in the wheel speed sensor. Each wheel speed sensor
receives ignition voltage from the electronic brake control module and provides an alternating current square
wave signal to the electronic brake control module. As the wheel spins, the electronic brake control module uses
the frequency of the signals to calculate the wheel speeds.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ABS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
This vehicle is equipped with a TRW EBC460 brake system. The electronic brake control module and the brake
pressure modulator are serviced separately. The brake pressure modulator uses a four circuit configuration to
control hydraulic pressure to each wheel independently.
Depending on options, the following vehicle performance enhancement systems are provided.
 ABS
 Traction control
 Stability control
 Dynamic rear proportioning
 Hill hold start assist
 Cornering brake control
 Hydraulic Brake Assist
 Optimized Hydraulic Braking System
 Intelligent brake assist
 Trailer stability assist
The following components listed below are involved in the operation of the brake system:
 Electronic brake control module - The electronic brake control module controls the system functions and
detects failures. It supplies voltage to the solenoid valves and pump motor.
 Brake pressure modulator - The brake pressure modulator contains the following components:
 Brake pressure sensor
 Hydraulic pump with pump motor

 Four isolation vales
 Four dump valves
 Two traction/stability control supply valves
 Two traction/stability control isolation valves
 High pressure accumulator
 Low pressure accumulator
 Body control module monitors the brake pedal position sensor signal when the brake pedal is applied and
sends a high speed serial data message to the electronic brake control module indicating the brake pedal
position.
 Brake pressure sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The sensor
provides an analog voltage signal that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. The electronic brake
control module monitors the brake pressure sensor which is integral to the brake pressure modulator.
 Instrument cluster - The instrument cluster displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the
engine control module. The engine control module sends the vehicle speed information via a high speed
cardiagn.com
serial data to the body control module. The body control module then sends the vehicle speed information
via a low speed serial data to the instrument cluster in order to display the vehicle speed, either in
kilometers or miles, based on the vehicle requirements.
 Multi-axis acceleration sensor in vehicles equipped (without KSG) - The yaw rate, lateral acceleration
and longitudinal acceleration sensors are combined into one multi-axis acceleration sensor, internal to the
inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module. The electronic brake control module receives serial
data message inputs from the yaw rate, lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration sensor and
activates stability control and hill hold start assist function depending on multi-axis acceleration sensor
input.
 Multi-axis acceleration sensor in vehicles equipped (with KSG) - The yaw rate, lateral acceleration and
longitudinal acceleration sensors are combined into one multi-axis acceleration sensor, external to the
electronic brake control module. The electronic brake control module receives serial data message inputs
from the yaw rate, lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration sensor and activates stability control
depending on multi-axis acceleration sensor input.
 Multifunction switch - The traction control switch is a multifunction momentary switch. The body control
module monitors the signal circuit from the traction control switch and sends a high speed serial data
message to the electronic brake control module indicating the switch position. The traction control and
stability control are manually disabled or enabled by pressing the traction control switch.
 Steering wheel angle sensor - The electronic brake control module receives serial data message inputs
from the steering angle sensor. The steering wheel angle sensor signal is used to calculate the intended
driving direction.
 Transmission control module - The electronic brake control module receives high speed serial data
message inputs from the transmission control module indicating the gear position of the transmission for
hill start assist or hill hold functions.
 Active wheel speed sensors - The electronic brake control module supplies a ignition voltage to each
wheel speed sensor. As the wheel spins, the wheel speed sensor produces an alternating current square
wave signal. The electronic brake control module uses the frequency of the square wave signal to
calculate the wheel speed. The electronic brake control module uses the frequency of the square wave
signal to calculate the wheel speed. The electronic brake control module sends the wheel speed
information via high speed serial data to the engine control module.
Power-Up-Self Test
The electronic brake control module is able to detect many malfunctions whenever the ignition is ON. However,
certain failures cannot be detected unless active diagnostic tests are performed on the components. Shorted
solenoid coil or motor windings, for example, cannot be detected until the components are commanded ON by
the electronic brake control module. Therefore, a power-up self-test is performed to verify correct operation of
system components. The electronic brake control module performs the first phase of the power-up self-test
when the ignition is first turned ON. This phase consists of internal self-testing of the electronic brake control
module along with electrical checks of system sensors and circuits.
Initialization Sequence
The initialization sequence cycles each solenoid valve and the pump motor, as well as the necessary relays, for
approximately forty milliseconds to check component operation. One of the checks performed is the adaptive
pressure calibration that occurs when the engine is running and the brake pedal is not applied. The adaptive
pressure calibration will cycle each of the six isolation valves to verify valve operation. The initialization
cardiagn.com
sequence may be heard and felt while it is taking place, and is considered part of normal system operation. The
active test is initiated by the electronic brake control module at the start of the ignition cycle and the speed of
the fastest wheel exceeds 16 km/h (10 MPH). If a fault condition is detected the electronic brake control module
sets a DTC.
ABS
When wheel slip is detected during a brake application, an ABS event occurs. During ABS braking, hydraulic
pressure in the individual wheel circuits is controlled to prevent any wheel from slipping. A separate hydraulic
line and specific solenoid valves are provided for each wheel. The ABS can decrease, hold, or increase
hydraulic pressure to each wheel. The ABS does not, however, increase hydraulic pressure above the amount
which is transmitted by the master cylinder during braking.
During ABS braking, a series of rapid pulsations is felt in the brake pedal. These pulsations are caused by the
rapid changes in position of the individual solenoid valves as the electronic brake control module responds to
wheel speed sensor inputs and attempts to prevent wheel slip. These pedal pulsations are present only during
ABS braking and stop when normal braking is resumed or when the vehicle comes to a stop. A ticking or
popping noise may also be heard as the solenoid valves cycle rapidly. During ABS braking on dry pavement,
intermittent chirping noises may be heard as the tires approach slipping. These noises and pedal pulsations are
considered normal during ABS operation.
Vehicles equipped with ABS may be stopped by applying normal force to the brake pedal. Brake pedal
operation during normal braking is no different than that of previous non-ABS systems. Maintaining a constant
force on the brake pedal provides the shortest stopping distance while maintaining vehicle stability. The typical
ABS activation sequence is as follows.
Pressure Hold
The electronic brake control module closes the isolation valve and keeps the dump valve closed in order to
isolate the slipping wheel when wheel slip occurs. This holds the pressure steady on the brake so that the
hydraulic pressure does not increase or decrease.
Pressure Decrease
If a pressure hold does not correct the wheel slip condition, a pressure decrease occurs. The electronic brake
control module decreases the pressure to individual wheels during deceleration when wheel slip occurs. The
isolation valve is closed and the dump valve is opened. The excess fluid is stored in the accumulator until the
pump can return the fluid to the master cylinder or fluid reservoir.
Pressure Increase
After the wheel slip is corrected, a pressure increase occurs. The electronic brake control module increases the
pressure to individual wheels during deceleration in order to reduce the speed of the wheel. The isolation valve
is opened and the dump valve is closed. The increased pressure is delivered from the master cylinder.
Traction Control
When drive wheel slip is noted, the electronic brake control module will enter traction control mode.

First, the electronic brake control module requests the engine control module to reduce the amount of torque to
the drive wheels via a serial data message. The engine control module reduces torque to the drive wheels and
reports the amount of delivered torque.
If the engine torque reduction does not reduce drive wheel slip, the electronic brake control module will actively
apply the brakes on the slipping drive wheel. During traction control braking, hydraulic pressure in each drive
wheel circuit is controlled to prevent the drive wheels from slipping. The electronic brake control module
commands the pump motor and appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF to apply brake pressure to the slipping
wheel.
Stability Control
Stability control provides added stability during aggressive maneuvers. Yaw rate is the rate of rotation about the
vehicle's vertical axis. The stability control is activated when the electronic brake control module determines
that the desired yaw rate does not match the actual yaw rate as measured by the yaw rate sensor.
The desired yaw rate is calculated by the electronic brake control module using the following inputs:
 Steering wheel position

 Vehicle speed
 Lateral acceleration
The difference between the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate is the yaw rate error, which is a
measurement of oversteer or understeer. When a yaw rate error is detected, the electronic brake control module
attempts to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying brake pressure to one or more of the wheels. The
amount of applied brake pressure varies, depending on the correction required. The engine torque may be
reduced also, if it is necessary to slow the vehicle while maintaining stability.
Stability control activations generally occur in turns during aggressive driving. When braking during stability
control activation, the brake pedal may pulsate.
Dynamic Rear Proportioning
The dynamic rear proportioning is a control system that replaces the mechanical proportioning valve. Under
certain driving conditions the electronic brake control module will reduce the rear wheel brake pressure by
commanding the appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF.
Hill Hold Start Assist
The hill hold start assist allows the driver to launch the vehicle without a roll back while moving the foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. The electronic brake control module calculates the brake pressure,
which is needed to hold the vehicle on an incline and locks that pressure for a certain time by commanding the
appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF when the brake pedal is released. Hill hold start assist is activated
when the electronic brake control module determines that the driver wishes to move the vehicle up-hill, either
backwards or forwards.
The following inputs are used for hill hold start assist feature:

 Accelerator pedal position
 Brake switch
 Brake pressure
 Clutch switch, if equipped
 Engine torque
 Longitudinal acceleration
 Reverse gear information
 Vehicle speed
Cornering Brake Control
Cornering brake control is a slip control function that is intended to improve the vehicle's lateral/yaw stability
during combined braking and cornering situations.
The electronic brake control module will reduce the brake pressure to the inside wheels by commanding the
appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF.
Hydraulic Brake Assist
The hydraulic brake assist function is designed to support the driver in emergency braking situations.
The electronic brake control module receives inputs from the brake pressure sensor. When the electronic brake
control module senses an emergency braking situation, the electronic brake control module will actively
increase the brake pressure to a specific maximum.
Intelligent Brake Assist
The intelligent brake assist function is designed to provide limited braking to help prevent front and rear low
speed collisions.
The electronic brake control module receives inputs from the brake pedal position sensor, wheel speed sensors,
short range radar and ultrasonic sensors to detect a collision. When the electronic brake control module senses a
possible collision, it will actively increase the hydraulic brake pressure to apply the brakes.
Optimized Hydraulic Braking System
With some engines the electronic brake control module monitors the vacuum in the brake booster with a
vacuum sensor and controls a brake booster vacuum pump depending on vacuum sensor input. It also has a
hydraulic brake boost feature which supplements the brake system to maintain consistent brake performance
under conditions of low brake booster vacuum. Low brake booster vacuum conditions can include initial start
up after the vehicle has been parked for several hours, very frequent brake stops, or high altitude driving. The
hydraulic brake boost system activates only during a brake apply under low vacuum conditions. In this case the
electronic brake control module will actively increase and control the hydraulic brake pressure by turning the
pump motor ON and the appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF. When hydraulic brake boost is active, a
series of rapid pulsations is felt in the brake pedal.

Trailer Stability Assist
The trailer stability assist will detect any vehicle yaw instability, caused by an attached trailer. When instability
is detected, the electronic brake control module attempts to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying brake
pressure to one or more of the wheels. The engine torque may be reduced also, if it is necessary to slow down
the vehicle.
Driver Information Indicators
ABS Indicator
The instrument cluster turns the ABS indicator ON when the following occurs:
 The instrument cluster performs the bulb check.

 The electronic brake control module detects a malfunction which disables the ABS and sends a serial data
message to the instrument cluster requesting illumination.
Brake Warning Indicator
The instrument cluster turns the brake warning indicator ON when the following occurs:

 The electronic brake control module detects a faulty pump motor, solenoid valves, an internal hardware
failure or a too high or too low battery voltage and sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster
requesting illumination.
 The body control module detects that the parking brake is engaged. The instrument cluster receives a
serial data message from the body control module requesting illumination.
Traction Control Off Indicator
The instrument cluster turns the traction control off indicator ON when the following occurs:
 The driver manually disables the traction control by pressing the traction control switch. The electronic
brake control module sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting illumination.
Stability Control Off Indicator
The instrument cluster turns the stability control off indicator ON when the following occurs:

 The driver manually disables the stability control by pressing and holding the traction control switch for
five seconds. The electronic brake control module sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster
requesting illumination.
