Anti-blocking brake system (ABS)

General description

For the vehicles equipped with additional system of restriction of the movement "air bag" (the safety airbag):

  • Service of components of the airbag of safety ("air bag") and near them or works with an electrical wiring have to be performed only by the authorized dealer of SUZUKI. Non-compliance with security measures can lead to inadvertent operation of system or put system out of action. Any of these two conditions can lead to a serious trauma.
  • Works on maintenance should be begun not earlier than in 90 seconds after the ignition switch is transferred to situation "LOCK/ZAMOK" and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise the system can be activated by reserve energy of the module of sensors and diagnostics.

All fastenings of brakes are important elements of fastening and can influence work of the vital details and systems, and/or to affect considerably repair price. They should be replaced with the details having the same number or equivalent if such replacement is necessary. Do not use for replacement of a detail of the worst quality or substitutes. It is necessary to observe the specified values of torque of an inhaling at assembly to provide long service life of all details. It is not necessary to use welding as it can lead to extensive damages and weakening of metal.

ABS (the Anti-blocking brake system) controls the liquid pressure enclosed to the wheel cylinder of each brake from the main cylinder so each wheel is not blocked, even at strong braking. The ABS this system of 4-wheeled type which controls the liquid pressure enclosed to wheel cylinders of each of four brakes to prevent blocking of each of wheels. Components of the ABS this system besides components of the ordinary brake system include the following:

    The wheel speed sensor which distinguishes the speed of rotation of each wheel and gives a signal. In this ABS, the ABS hydraulic block (assembly of the power drive), the module of management of ABS, the relay of the engine of the pump and the failure-safe relay are united in one component. The module of management of ABS which sends a working signal on the ABS hydraulic block to control the liquid pressure enclosed to each wheel cylinder on the basis of a signal from each sensor of speed of a wheel to prevent blocking of a wheel. The ABS hydraulic block working on a signal from the module of management of ABS and controlling the liquid pressure enclosed to wheel cylinders of each of 4 wheels. The failure-safe relay (the solenoidal valve) giving food on the solenoidal valve in the ABS hydraulic block and the relay of the engine of the pump. The pump motor relay which gives food on the pump engine in the ABS hydraulic block. Alarm lamp of "ABS" which lights up to inform on malfunction when the system works incorrectly. G-sensor which determines the speed of braking of the case.

This ABS is equipped with EBD (system of electronic distribution of brake effort between axes). This system controls the liquid pressure upon back wheels to improve a state and has the same function, as the valve of restriction of pressure, on a signal from a wheel sensor irrespective of change of loading from load ability, etc. If the system cannot work properly, the alarm lamp of a brake informing on malfunction lights up.
