ABS is activated during braking under certain road or

stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in-

clude ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose

debris, or panic stops.
You may also experience the following when the brake

system goes into anti-lock mode:
• The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a

short time after the stop).

• The clicking sound of solenoid valves.
• Brake pedal pulsations.
• A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end

of the stop.

These are all normal characteristics of ABS.

WARNING!

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains sophis-
ticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible
to interference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment. This in-
terference can cause possible loss of Anti-Lock brak-
ing capability. Installation of such equipment should
be performed by qualified professionals.

All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and

type and tires must be properly inflated to produce

accurate signals for the computer.
