Purpose
The Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It controls rear braking force so locking of the rear wheels can be avoided.
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation during severe braking.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation during severe braking.
3) Improves vehicle stability.

Operation
- When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/in (6 MPH) this system does not work.
- The Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp for a few seconds each time the ignition switch is turned ON. After the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp turns off. The system performs a circuit check when the ignition switch is turned ON. After the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp turns off. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
- While driving, a mechanical noise may be heard and a slight pedal pulsation may be felt during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.
