What is the characteristics of the ABS?
Discuss your opinion in the group and make a note of the most important items
Stability
Steerability
Shorter emergency brake distance
Drastic reduction of vehicle accidents
Tire protection by avoiding brake flats, thus longer tire service time
Advertising effect, e.g. for tourist coaches

The ECM is the brain of the ABS system.
It receives information from the sensors and sends signals to the ABS valves.
ECM is installed at the underneath the seat of the passenger side.

Exercise : ABS Control Module : Service Advices
If you have vehicles with ABS ECU, how you handle it?
Discuss your service points in the group and make a note of the most important items
• Do not expose ABS ECU to splash-water, mud, dust or
mechanical stress such as drop down etc.
• Do not touch the electrical connectors with fingers or
parts other than the wiring harness plugs
• Never weld on a vehicle while ECUs are connected
• Never start the Engine other than the own battery as long
as ECUs are connected
• Never run the Engine without a securely connected battery
• Never open an ECU nor try to repair it

Exercise : WSS: service advice
When servicing wheel speed sensor , Discuss your service points in the group and make a note at
the point as the shown in the figure.
do not use force by tools for installing the sensor
connect securely and tight
use grease before assembly
avoid strong wire bends
use grease before assembly
Fix the wires securely in order to prevent chafe marks or other damages.
