speed of rotation of the wheel and transmits the information to a microprocessor
which compares the signal with those from other wheels. If one or more wheels are
about to lock or if they roll at a lower speed than the others, the control system will
immediately reduce the hydraulic pressure to the corresponding wheel or wheels.
Pressure adjustments are carried out at the rate of up to twelve times per second.
The anti-lock brake system has three brake circuits, one of which serves the rear
wheels and one serves each of the front wheels. The brake system is self-monitoring,
and checks itself automatically every time the engine is started. The checks include
the brake fluid pressure, brake fluid level and performance of the wheel sensors. If
the system is in good condition, the warning lamp that lights up on the facia when the
engine is started will be switched off after five to ten seconds. Moreover, the safety
functions are continually monitored while the car is travelling.
The main components of the Saab ABS system and the ordinary brake system of
the car are integrated into one lightweight, compact unit. The entire system is
preassembled and inspected at the factory before it is installed in the car. This ensures
high production quality and high reliability.
