Anti-lock Braking System(ABS)

iv. FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION :

If the ABS system detects any fault that may

adversely affect its performance it will switch to a

fail safe shut down mode. When this happens the

electricity supply to the solenoid valves is

deactivated, stopping control signal output, this

causes the valves to switch to their default state.

(Open for inlet valves / Closed for Outlet valves)

The System will light the relevant warning lamp at

the same time to inform the driver the vehicle has

either an ABS or an ABS and EBD failure.

In this condition, the conventional hydraulic brake

circuit will still function, allowing brake pressure to

reach all wheels. It should be noted that with an

ABS fault it will be possible to lock the wheels and

in the Case of an EBD failure the brake force

proportioning between front and rear will no longer

function and hence rear wheel lock is possible

before front.
