Teves

TEVES MARK20e SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The controller antilock brake module is used to monitor wheel speeds and to modulate (control) hydraulic pressure in each brake channel. The modulated hydraulic pressure is used to prevent wheel lock-up during braking.

The Teves Mark20e system uses a diagonal split hydraulic brake system. In the standard brake mode the master cylinder primary circuit supplies pressure to the right front and left rear wheel brakes, and the secondary master cylinder circuit supplies pressure to the left front and right rear wheel brakes.

All vehicles equipped with ABS use Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP) to balance front-to-rear braking when brakes are applied in the partial braking range.

During an antilock stop the Mark20e system uses four-channel operation. This means that during antilock operation each wheel brake is independently controlled. By using a separate hydraulic channel for each wheel, the system is able to retain directional stability and steering control while applying maximum braking. The system provides maximum braking even when road conditions vary.
