WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND
RINGS
Front wheel speed sensors are installed to the front
knuckle and rear wheel speed sensors are installed to
the backing plate.
Wheel speed sensors are no serviceable. And the air
cap is not adjusted. Front wheel speed sensor ring is
pressed onto the drive axle shaft. Each ring contains 40
equally spaced teeth. Exercise care during service pro-
cedures to avoid prying or contacting this ring. Exces-
sive contact may cause damage to one or more teeth.
Rear wheel speed sensor rings are incorporated into the
hub drum.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE DISTRIBUTION
ABS features an enhanced algorithm which includes
control of the brake force distribution between the front
and rear axles. This is called Electronic Brake Distribu-
tion or Dynamic Rear Proportioning valve. In an unladen
car condition the brake efficiency is comparable to the
conventional system but for a fully loaden vehicle the ef-
ficiency of the Dynamic Rear Proportioning System is
higher due to the better use of rear axle braking capabili-
ty.
No indication is given to the driver when Dynamic Rear
Proportioning is activated. Also, DRP remains active
even in such cases where the anti-lock function of the
ABS is disabled.

INDICATOR
It illuminates for four seconds immediately after the igni-
tion has been turned on to show that the anti-lock sys-
tem self-test is being carried out. If the light does not go
off after this time it means that there may be a problem
and ABS operation is not available.
If any malfunction or error, including an unplugged
EBCM connector, is detected during vehicle operation,
the light will come on, warning the driver that the ABS is
not operative and brake operation is in conventional,
non-ABS mode.
