Where is the ABS pump located in a car?
1 Answers
The ABS pump is located near the firewall in the car's engine compartment. The working principle of the ABS pump is: relying on highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel and the vehicle's speed sensor, under computer control, when emergency braking is detected and a wheel is about to lock up, the computer immediately commands the pressure regulator to release pressure from that wheel's brake caliper, allowing the wheel to resume rotation. The ABS pump, also known as the Anti-lock Braking System, features anti-skid and anti-lock characteristics. Its working process involves a cycle of locking and releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of near-lock rolling, effectively overcoming issues like deviation, side-slip, and fishtailing during emergency braking, and preventing loss of vehicle control.
