ABS Valve, ABS Modulator & Other Air System Components

The ABS system relies on several critical components, including the ABS valve, which regulates and restricts the brake pressure. Additionally, the ABS modulator is an electro-pneumatic valve assembly that controls the air pressure to the brake air chambers during sudden or emergency braking. Another crucial part is the wheel speed sensor system, which continuously monitors the rotation speed of each wheel. This system can detect if a wheel is locking up or skidding and trigger the ABS to prevent loss of control. Together, these components work to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle while braking.
