If the rear (secondary) brake system fails, initial brake pedal movement will cause the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary piston movement will displace hydraulic fluid in the primary section of the master cylinder to actuate the front brake system.

SYSTEM

The function of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is to minimize wheel lockup during heavy braking on most road surfaces. The system performs this function by monitoring wheel speed and controlling the brake fluid pressure to each front wheel and both rear wheels during braking.

1993-94 Eldorado, Seville & DeVille models with the 4.6L Northstar engine are also equipped with a real-time traction control system (TCS). The purpose of the traction control system is to prevent excessive wheel spin ...
