General Description

This information covers the physical and operational descriptions and the on-car service procedures for the ITT Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System and the ITT Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System with traction control.

The purpose of the Antilock Brake System (ABS) is to prevent wheel lockup under braking conditions on virtually any type of road surface. Antilock braking is desirable because a vehicle that is stopped without locking the wheels retains directional stability and some steering capability. This allows the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle during braking.
