System Operation
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system will control hydraulic pressure in the individual wheel circuits to prevent any wheel from slipping. A separate hydraulic line and specific solenoid valves are provided for each wheel. The ABS can decrease, hold or increase hydraulic pressure to each wheel brake. However, it cannot increase hydraulic pressure above what the master cylinder is transmitting.
Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
The ETS limits wheel slip during acceleration when one or more of the drive wheels are accelerating too rapidly and the brake switch is off. T...

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURES FOR 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo AUTOMOBILES
Description
Vehicle: 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 3.8 V6 GAS
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) alerts the driver when a large change in the pressure of one tire exists. The system detects a tire pressure condition while the vehicle is in motion, once a tire pressure condition is detected, the system alerts the driver whenever the ignition is turned On.
The software used to calculate the relative tire pressure differences is contained in the EBCM. This software requires approximately 30 minutes of straight line driving in each of three speed ranges to complete the calibration cycle in order to have full capability for detecting the tire p...
