BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2003 Dodge Caravan AUTOMOBILES
Anti-Lock Brakes -> Caravan, Town & Country & Voyager -> Description

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. The ABS cannot, however, increase hydraulic pressure above the amount which is transmitted by the master cylinder during braking.
During anti-lock braking, a series of rapid pulsations is felt in the brake pedal...
