Base Braking Mode

The brake system uses a conventional diagonally split brake system and an add-on type ABS type unit. The brake system operates normally while the antilock brake system monitors wheel speeds and brake pedal position.

The conventional system continues to operate normally until the Electronic Brake (and Traction) Control Module (EBCM/EBTCM) detects a wheel beginning to slip. At this point, the brake system transfers from normal braking to the antilock braking mode.

The antilock brake system remains in control until one of the following conditions occurs:
^ Braking is no longer required
^ The wheel stops slipping
^ The excess pedal travel condition ceases to exist
