Description - Antilock Brakes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This article covers the MK25e Antilock Brake System (ABS). This vehicle's ABS comes standard with traction control. It is a Brake Traction Control System (BTCS).

The purpose of this four-channel design antilock brake system is to prevent wheel lockup under braking conditions on virtually any type of road surface. Antilock braking is desirable because a vehicle that is stopped without locking the wheels retains directional stability and some steering capability. This allows the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle during braking.

This ABS system has ABS Plus and Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP). (Refer to ABS - BRAKES - DESCRIPTION)
