ABS - DESCRIPTION
The ABS electronic anti-lock braking system regulates the braking pressure transmitted to the wheels, preventing them from
losing grip whatever the tyre and road conditions.
The system is designed to be incorporated with the braking system, using the same hydraulic fluid, without preventing the
operation of the actual braking system if the ABS fails.
Four sensors, located on each of the four wheels, indicate the speed of each wheel to the electronic control unit, recording any
situations involving locking, slipping or loss of grip.
In these situations, the control unit directly controls the solenoids which modulate the pressure in the hydraulic circuit, preventing
the wheels from locking, and restoring grip conditions for the vehicle to ensure optimum handling of the vehicle and excellent
stopping distances.
The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between the front
and rear wheels.
The control unit is equipped with a self-diagnosis function: when an error in the ABS function is detected, the "ABS failure"
warning light switches on and the system is deactivated at the same time. In these conditions the vehicle brakes using the
traditional system only.
When the control unit detects an error which also affects the EBD function, it turns on the "ABS failure" warning light and the "low
brake fluid/handbrake applied" warning light in the instrument panel.
In these conditions the rear braking distribution control is deactivated: the driver must therefore drive very carefully to the
first authorised service centre.
Messages concerning the operational faults are also shown on the multifunction display, where fitted.
The ABS control unit logic and solenoids are supplied via lines protected by dedicated fuses located in the engine compartment
junction unit and the Body Computer.

The braking system control unit M051 receives a direct battery supply at pin 1 (pump) and 25 (solenoid valves) respectively via
the lines protected by fuses F01 and F23 located in the engine compartment junction unit B001.
It also receives an ignition-operated power supply (INT) at pin 28 along the line protected by fuse F42 of the Body Computer M001
(pin 12 of connector D).
Pins 13 (pump) and 38 (electronic control unit/solenoid valves) of control unit M051 are connected to the ABS system earth C012.
The four sensors K070 (front left wheel), K071 (front right wheel), K075 (rear left wheel) and K076 (rear right wheel) are
connected respectively to pins 19 and 8, 16 and 4, 31 and 18, 17 and 29 of the braking system control unit M051 to receive a
supply and send signals relating to the speed of the wheels.
Pin 11 of connector D of the Body Computer M001 receives an NC signal from the switch on the brake pedal I030, with an ignition-
operated supply (INT) via a line protected by fuse F37 of the Body Computer (pin 15 of connector C). In the same way, the Body
Computer M001 receives an NO signal from the switch on the brake pedal I030, with an ignition-operated supply (INT) via a line
protected by fuse F42 of the Body Computer (pin 28 of connector D) at pin 57 of connector D. The latter will send these signals
through the C-CAN to the braking system control unit M051: any intervention of the ABS is excluded unless the brake pedal is
pressed.
The speedometer signal from the control unit M051 is supplied to the other network nodes also via the CAN.
The tachometer signal is sent through a dedicated signal to the Servotronik control unit M088, where provided.
Control unit M051 is connected (pins 27 and 15) via the C-CAN line to the Powertrain Control Module M010, and via pins 26 and 14
to the Body Computer M001 (pins 38 and 37 of connector D).
The Body Computer M001 is connected, via the CAN, (pins 11 and 26 of connector H) to the instrument panel E050 (pins 5 and 6)
to manage the "ABS failure" warning light and, if the problems involve the EBD function, the simultaneous switching on of the
"insufficient brake fluid level/handbrake applied" warning light.
