Power Brake Units -> General Service
Vehicle: 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP 2.0 L4 GAS

Two basic types of power assist mechanisms are used: vacuum assist diaphragm assemblies, which use engine vacuum or in some cases vacuum pressure developed by an external vacuum pump. The second type is a hydraulic pressure assist mechanism, which use pressure developed by an external pump (usually the power steering pump). Both systems act to increase the force exerted on the master cylinder piston by the operator. This in turn increases the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders while decreasing driver effort required to obtain acceptable stopping performance.

Anti-Lock Brakes -> Teves MK-25E -> Description -> System Components -> System Operation
Vehicle: 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP 2.0 L4 GAS

System Operation

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) minimizes wheel lockup during heavy braking on most road surfaces. The system performs this function by monitoring wheel speed and controlling the brake fluid pressure during braking. This allows the driver to retain directional stability and better steering capability.

System Components

The Electronic brake control module (EBCM) controls the system functions and detects failures. The EBCM contains a system relay and solenoids. The Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) uses a 4-circuit configuration to direct flui...
