Anti-Lock Control

Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)

The ABS module and HCU incorporate a strategy called Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). The EBD strategy uses the HCU as an electronic proportioning valve to create a balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels and minimize the chance of rear wheel lockup during hard braking. A slight bump sensation may be felt in the brake pedal when EBD is active.
