Analyze and Troubleshoot "Check Engine" MIL and Electronic Control Units (ECU)!

Anti-Lock Brake System w/ Acceleration Slip Regulation (ABS/ASR)

Description, Operation and Location
F23 Module Box with W140 ECUs The ABS control unit (N30/1) receives input from the four (4) wheel sensors, stop lamp switch, electronic accelerator unit, snow chain switch, and pressure reservoir switch. The ABS control unit turns these input signals into output control signals for the following components; hydraulic unit solenoid valves, relays (solenoid valves, return/pressure pump, and ASR charging pump), electronic acceleration control unit, ASR indicator lamp, snow chain switch LED, ABS warning lamp and ASR warning lamp. From the input signals, the ABS control unit differentiates between three (3) operational modes; normal operation, ABS operation and ASR operation.
