Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation

CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKE
The CAB operates the ABS system, and is separate from other vehicle electrical circuits. The CAB is located under the instrument panel to the right side of the steering column. It is mounted to bracket with one bolt. The bracket is mounted to the front upper cowl panel.

The CAB voltage source is through the ignition switch in the RUN position. The CAB contains dual microprocessors. A logic block in each microprocessor receives identical sensor signals. These signals are processed and compared simultaneously The CAB contains a self check program that illuminates the ABS warning light when a system fault is detected. Faults are stored in a diagnostic program memory and are accessible with the DRB scan tool. ABS faults remain in memory until cleared, or until after the vehicle is started approximately 50 times. Stored faults are not erased if the battery is disconnected.
