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 EBCM 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 EBCM 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 EBCM 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 EBCM 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 EBCM will enter traction control mode.
First, the EBCM requests the engine control module (ECM) to reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels via a serial data message. The ECM 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 EBCM 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 EBCM commands the pump motor and appropriate solenoid valves on and off to apply brake pressure to the slipping wheel.
Traction control can be manually disabled or enabled by pressing the traction control switch.
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 EBCM 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 EBCM 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 EBCM attempts to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying brake pressure to one or more of the wheels. The amount of brake pressure which is applied 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.
Stability control can be manually disabled or enabled by pressing the traction control switch for 5 s.
Dynamic Rear Proportioning
The dynamic rear proportioning is a control system that replaces the mechanical proportioning valve. Under certain driving conditions the EBCM will reduce the rear wheel brake pressure by commanding the appropriate solenoid valves ON and OFF.
Hill Start Assist
The hill start assist allows the driver to launch his vehicle without a roll back while he is moving his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. The EBCM 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 start assist is activated when the EBCM determines that the driver wishes to move his vehicle up-hill, either backwards or forwards.
The following inputs are used for hill start assist feature
- Brake Switch
- Brake pressure
- Longitudinal acceleration
- Engine torque
- Reverse gear information
- Clutch switch
- Accelerator pedal position
- Vehicle speed
Hydraulic Brake Assist
The hydraulic brake assist function is designed to support the driver in emergency braking situations.
The EBCM receives inputs from the brake pressure sensor. When the EBCM senses an emergency braking situation, it will actively increase the hydraulic brake pressure to a specific maximum by turning the pump motor ON.
Trailer Stability Assist
The trailer stability assist will detect any vehicle yaw instability, caused by an attached trailer. When instability is detected, the EBCM 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.
Optimized hydraulic braking system
With some engines the EBCM 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 EBCM 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.
Brake Warning Indicator
The instrument cluster turns the brake warning indicator ON when the following occurs
- The instrument cluster performs the bulb check.
- The EBCM detects a fault and sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting illumination.

Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed
Refer to BRAKE FLUID IRRITANT WARNING .
Refer to CAUTION: EFFECTS OF BRAKE FLUID ON PAINT AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS .
Note. Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a pressure bleed of the base brake system. Refer to HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING (MANUAL) or HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING (PRESSURE) . The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the following conditions exist: Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly
The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation. The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in these circuits to flow out toward the brake corners.
Performing the Automated Bleed Procedure
- WARNING: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by pressing the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed procedure will be given. After exiting the bleed procedure, relieve bleed pressure and disconnect bleed equipment per manufacturers instructions. Failure to properly relieve pressure may result in spilled brake fluid causing damage to components and painted surfaces. Raise and support the vehicle.
