Under normal driving conditions, anti-lock brake system functions as a standard brake system. With detection of impending rear wheel lock-up, the RABS control module modulates hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to prevent lock-up.
With detection of wheel lock-up, short pedal pulsations, occurring in rapid succession, will be felt in brake pedal and steering wheel. Vehicle body may also vibrate slightly. These conditions are normal. Pedal pulsation will continue until there is no longer a need for anti-lock function or until vehicle is stopped.
Diagnose RABS using a jumper wire connected between ground and RABS test connector while observing Yellow RABS warning light on instrument cluster. When a malfunction is detected, the RABS control module will retain a diagnostic trouble code in memory. If Yellow RABS warning light remains on or flashes after engine has been started, a diagnostic trouble code is present.
