ABS/TCS System


NOTE: The Anti-lock Brake System/Traction Control System is an option on this vehicle.

The BPM valve regulates brake fluid pressure based on road conditions as interpreted by the EBTCM/EBCM, regardless of master cylinder output pressure. The BPM valve can maintain, reduce or increase brake fluid pressure to the brake calipers under ABS conditions, but it cannot increase pressure above that applied from the master cylinder. However, during TCS operation, the BPM valve can apply to the front brake calipers if the EBTCM/EBCM requires that a wheel be slowed or regulated
