BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1997 Pontiac Grand AM AUTOMOBILES
Anti-Lock Brakes -> Delphi (Delco-Moraine) Type VI -> DESCRIPTION -> ABS Warning Lamp -> Brake Warning Lamp -> Electronic Brake Control Module/Electronic Brake & Traction Control Module -> Expansion Spring Brake -> Hydraulic Modulator/Motor Pack Assembly -> System Components -> System Operation -> Wheel Speed Sensors
Vehicle: 1997 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.4 L4 GAS
System Operation
The function of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is to minimize wheel lock-up 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. This allows the driver to retain directional stability and better steering capability.
System Components
Refer to Fig. for system component locations.
