Opel Insignia OPC - Repair abs pump

Understanding the principle of the ABS block

The ABS block, what is it?

For the record, anti-lock brakes have been around since 1920 in the airline industry to prevent planes from skidding on landing. The acronym ABS comes from the German "Antiblockiersystem". It is an anti-lock wheel system that helps keep the vehicle under control when sudden braking occurs.

Focus on the ABS system

The ABS block is a part of the overall ABS system. We can observe for the Opel Insignia OPC model ...

• Magnetic targets: they vary the output signal, which is in the form of a square signal of variable frequency.
• The ABS block: more details below.
• Wheel speed sensors: we can observe 2 types, namely active sensors that are fed by the ABS ECU through a cable and passive sensors.

The ECU

As soon as an impeller tends to lock, it controls the solenoid valves and hydraulic pump.

The hydraulic unit

• Pressure accumulators which are nothing but pressurized gas tanks that can hold a variable volume of pressurized liquid.
