What is the purpose of the ABS block?

It is not always known but the ABS system has existed since 1920 in the aviation field to prevent skidding of aircraft during landing. The principle of the ABS system is now known to all because it prevents the wheels from locking when the driver presses too hard on the brake pedal.

• The wheel speed sensors: we note 2 types, the active sensors operating through electronics, which are supplied via a voltage determined by the ABS computer and passive sensors.

The ABS block

The ABS block of the Citroen C8 brand is made up of the following components in particular:

The motor driving a hydraulic pump

This is a member that transforms a flow rate into rotational speed and a pressure into operating torque. The motor's rotational speed is proportional to the flow rate that feeds it.

The hydraulic unit

• A hydraulic pump that locks the brake pedal so that it does not depress.
• Solenoid valves that eliminate the need for a brake compensator.
• Electronic brake proportionalizer, which is an additional function managed by the ECU.

The ECU

Warns the driver of a technical problem by lighting a light on the dashboard.
