Master Cylinder:





A vehicle equipped with ABS uses a different master cylinder than a vehicle that is not equipped with ABS. Vehicles equipped with ABS use a center port master cylinder while vehicles not equipped with ABS use a compensating port master cylinder.

The brake tubes from the primary and secondary outlet ports on the master cylinder go directly to the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU).
