The Abs (antilock brake system) control unit
As part of the antilock brake system we find that the abs control unit is the brain behind the operation. The sensors located at the wheels will pick up and transmit to the abs control unit how much hydraulic pressure is needed on each wheel and it decreases or enhances that pressure as needed. It is just like pumping the brake pedal only at a much faster rate. The main purpose of the control unit is actually that helps maintain the control of your car in slippery road conditions.
Basic description and function of an Abs control unit
The control unit of the abs consists of three microcomputers. Two of them function as working processors, the third one as a watchdog processor. The system switches off if there is a discrepancy in the data computed by the two working processors during operation of the car. The abs check control light will start to blink thus reading the fault. At this time the braking system is fully operational however without the abs control unit.
