Braking Modes

Using 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 EBCM/EBTCM detects a wheel beginning to slip. When this wheel slipping condition exists, the brake system transfers from normal braking to antilock braking modes. The antilock brake system remains in control until braking is no longer required, or the wheel slipping and/or an excess pedal travel condition cease(s) to exist.
