Automatic brake-pressure modulation continues until the ECU receives signals confirming that the speed of all the wheels is decreasing at the same rate; i.e., that the wheel
speeds are the same as the reference speed.

The return flow from the valve block, servo cylinder and master cylinder is directed to the second
chamber, thereby damping the flow offluid. This
prevents any fluid with entrained air bubbles
being drawn into the system.
The reservoir holds approximately 0.8 litre, but
the fluid level must be kept between the MAX and
MIN marks on the side ofthe reservoir. The reservoir is mounted on the hydraulic unit, the hydraulic connections between them consisting of
two special rubber bushes. A hose also runs from
the reservoir to the pump inlet. The filter cannot
be replaced separately.
The reservoir incorporates a fluid level indicator,
which switches on the brake warning light if the
fluid level drops below the MIN mark. A further
fall in the fluid level initiates a signal to the ECU,
which cuts out the A8S system and switches on
the A8S warning light.

The wheel sensors operate on the generator pri nciple, i.e. a current is induced in a conductor by
distortion of the magnetic field surrounding it.
Distortion of the magnetic field around the sensor is caused by the toothed sensor wheel as it
passes the sensor body: each time a tooth passes the sensor the magnetic field is reinforced.
Each time a gap between the teeth passes the
sensor, the magnetic field is weakened. Put simply, this means that positive (+) current is generated by each tooth and negative (-) current by
each gap between the teeth.
Thus, alternating current is generated, the frequency and amplitude of which ( the number of
cycles per second and half the peak-to-peak
value, respectively) will vary with the speed at
which the sensor wheel is turning. From this signal, the ECU can deduce the speed of rotation of
the wheel.

Hydraulic pressure is present between the accumulato r and the control valve, keeping the feed
passage between the accum ulator and servo cylinder closed, and the return passage between
the servo cylinder and fluid reservoir open.
The servo cylinder, maste r cylinder and other
hydraulic components are all charged with fluid
at atmospheric pressure.
The inlet and outlet valves in the valve block and
the main valve are all in the rest (de-energized)
position.

ASS modulation is initiated when the system detects a tendency for a wheel to lock. As soon as
the ECU detects from the input signals a tendency for a wheel to lock, it closes the inlet valve
for the circuit in question. At the same time as
the main valve opens, the brake pressure is reduced as the outlet valve for the circuit opens.
When ASS modulation is initiated, all braking is
effected by accumulator pressure provided via
the control valve in the servo cylinder. Thus, both
front-wheel circuits will be isolated from ~he static pressure present in front of the tandemplunger seals. The circuits are instead SUbject to
dynamic pressure, caused by the brake fluid
being forced past the seals to the chamber
beyond, and thence to the valve block in which
the pressure modulation takes place. The
dynamic pressure also acts on the positioning
sleeve, providing a nonpulsating reserve of
pedal travel.
The pressure in the respective circuits is dependent on the retardation in wheel speed sensed by
the sensors. The ECU controls the inlet and outlet valves so that maximum braking force (coefficient of adhesion) is maintained between the
wheel and road surface (occurring at approx.
20% slip).
ASS-modulated braking will continue until:

To secure the sensor inthe vice, grip the adjusting sleeve in the jaws. Never clamp the sensor
body itself as this can distort it.
Note
Once the sensor with the new fibre spacer has
been pushed out towards the sensor wheel, the
road-wheel hub must not be rotated before the

If the hub is rotated prematurely, the sensor

2 Switch on the ignition and let the pump run
until the ASS (Anti-lock) warning light goes

3 Switch off the ignition.
4 Pump the brake pedal and watch the display
on the tester. Each time the pedal is dessed,
the hydraulic pressure in the brake system
drops.
The moment the hydraulic pressure has fallen to the same level as the gas pressure in
the accumulator, the value 0 will appear on
the display.
Note the value shown on the display immediately before the 0 value appears. This
value denotes the gas pressure in the accumulator (bar).
The gas pressure in the accumulator should
be between 40 and 80 bar.

for at least three minutes at a speed of about
70 knn/h (42 mph). The test results will not be affecter! by the car stopping and starting in response to traffic conditions. The test cycle for
eachwhe_el takes,about two seconds; testing the
accumwlator pressure takes a bit longer (approx.
four seconds) because the relays are also
checked.
The tester will bleep each time a fault is detected.
Rectify any faults by locking up the error code in
the fault-diagnosis routine.
Testing will continue until the tester is switched
off or the START TEST button is pressed for about
three seconds.
To read the test results:
1 Stop the car.
