Working on the ABS Brakes

In the past you remember the time when you have to push your brakes many times so that you could still control it until the time it stopped, then some engineers came up the idea of using the belts to drive modulators. After the great paces in the car electronics anti-locking braking, which is also known as the ABS, become possible to use. It prevents sliding be regulating the pressure on individual brake cylinders allowing the car to be driven while the driver is applying the brakes. The components of ABS are an input amp that takes signals from the magnetic wheel speed sensors. A control unit for calculating wheel slip while accelerating and the formulation of the ECU. A hydraulic unit with modular valves that can be controlled by reducing the brake pressure electronically. The brake fluid is delivered by solenoid valves, one for every single unit. That are four, one of each wheel. When pressure is low excess fluid is stored in an accumulated a chamber with a spring loaded piston
