Opel Tigra - Repair abs pump

What is an ABS block

The ABS block: a Bosch invention

For the record, the ABS system was first developed for airplanes in the 1920s: it was necessary to prevent skidding on landing. The function of a vehicle's ABS block is to prevent the wheels from locking up during emergency braking.

Focus on the ABS system

Before discussing the ABS block, we need to understand the entire ABS system. We can observe for the Opel Tigra vehicle ...

• The wheel speed sensors: there are 2 types, the inductive sensors composed in particular of a coil and the active sensors.
• The ABS block: how is it composed? This is what we will discover ...
• The magnetic targets: they generate signals read by the sensors, which send these signals to the ABS ECU.

The ABS block

Let's look at some of the elements of the ABS block of the Opel Tigra model:

The hydraulic unit

It is composed of several elements including...

• Solenoid valves that allow to limit the pressure of the brakes for each wheel.
• A hydraulic pump whose delivery causes the pulsations felt at the pedal.
• The electronic distributor that shades the pressure on the rear wheels.

The computer

As soon as a wheel tends to lock, it regulates the solenoid valves and the hydraulic pump.

The hydraulic motor

This is an organ that transforms a flow rate into a speed of rotation and a pressure into an operating torque. The speed of rotation of the motor is proportional to the flow rate that feeds it.
