ABS 

Pressure Increase Mode 

• 

When the CM detects that the wheel slip decreases below a specified value, it increases 
the brake force to that wheel, in order to keep the wheel slip in the specified range. 

• 

It deactivates the inlet and outlet solenoid valve and the pump. Thus, the pressure 
increase is performed in the same way as during normal braking, the brake pressure is 
increased by the driver’s foot, still pressing the brake pedal.

• 

These three modes are repeated as required until either: the brake pedal is released, 
the speed of the vehicle is below the specified value for ABS operation (approx. 5...15 
km/h, depending on the vehicle) or the wheel slip does not exceed the specified value 
anymore.

Servicing 

• 

The ABS HU contains delicate mechanical parts. If foreign materials get into the 
component the ABS may fail to operate. Also, it will likely become extremely difficult to 
find the location of the malfunction in the event that the brakes operate but the ABS 
does not. Make sure foreign materials do not get inside when servicing the ABS (e.g. 
brake fluid replacement, pipe removal). 

• 

To avoid trouble coming from the hydraulic system of the ABS and the brake it is best to 
protect the whole system with a regular exchange of brake fluid and flushing of the 
hydraulic ABS unit. 

 
NOTE:  To avoid that the HU runs dry and air enters the HU, always install apropriate 

closing covers when removing hydraulic lines. 

 

Bleeding 

NOTE:  In most cases it is not necessary to bleed the HU with the aid of the M-MDS during 

exchange of the brake fluid. Always follow the procedure of the corresponding W/M 
(Workshop Manual).  

 
• 

If the ABS HU needs to be flushed or bled, it is necessary to switch on the pump and the 
outlet valves. 

 
NOTE:  Always perform the manual bleeding procedure before performing any bleeding 

procedure with the aid of the M-MDS 

 
• 

Connect the brake-bleeding device with the brake fluid reservoir ensuring that fresh 
brake fluid will get to the HU. 

• 

For Mazda2 and Tribute the M-MDS provides the “ABS Service Bleed” function. 
Connect the M-MDS with DLC2 and select

ABS 

• 

For models the M-MDS does not provide a service bleed function, ABS valves and the 
ABS pump can be activated via the Simulation Test Mode available in the DataLlogger 
menu. Connect the M-MDS and select 

Æ Toolbox Æ Datalogger Æ Modules Æ ABS 

• 

Then select PIDs as displayed below. 

• 

To start the activation of the valve and the pump in the HU: 

– 

Select and activate 

Æ ABS_POWER 

– 

Select and activate the outlet solenoid valve of the corresponding brake calliper a 
bleeding bottle is connected with (here it is the left front side) 

Æ LF_OUTLET and 

PMP_MOTOR 

 
NOTE:  To prevent the ABS unit from overload, the solenoid valves and pump motor must 

not be activated permanently when bleeding. Depending on the model, the pump 
motor and the solenoid valves are either automtically deactivated 10 seconds after 
beeing activated with the aid of the M-MDS or they must be deactivated manually.

• 

Repeat the procedure for each outlet valve.

Diagnostics 

• 

The HU/CM can be checked by: 

– 

Reading out DTCs 

– 

Checking voltage signals 

– 

Monitoring / Activating the corresponding PIDs (see below) 

 
NOTE:  The ABS warning light might stay illuminated after deleting DTCs, until the unit 

performed a self test. Therefore it is necessary to perform a test drive after deleting 
DTCs.

NOTE:  Depending on the model, the availability of the PIDs varies. In addition, different PID 

names may be used for identical parameters (see W/M).

 

 

Replacement 

• 

A new HU is usually delivered pre filled. Nevertheless, the brake system must be bled 
according to the W/M.  

• 

A new CM must be configured (except for Mazda2 (DY) and B-Series (UN)) with the aid 
of the M-MDS, via the option “Programmable Module Installation” (refer to W/M). If a 
new DSC HU/CM has been installed, additional initialisation procedures of the sensors 
must be performed (refer to W/M).
