General
The 911 Carrera (996) is fitted as standard with an anti-lock brake system (ABS 5.3).

"Traction Control (TC)" is available on special request on the basis of ABS 5.3.

Traction Control (TC) is a combination of anti-slip control (ASR) and Automatic Brake Differential (ABD).

TC is a further system for increasing driving safety.





ABS 5.3 is optimized with regard to installed volume and weight compared with the ABS 5. Control module (No. 1), hydraulic unit (No. 7), pump-motor relay and valve relay (No. 2) of ABS 5.3 and ABS/TC 5.3 form a unit that is located next to the brake master cylinder.

Diagnosis and system checks on both systems are carried out with the Porsche System Tester 2.
