ABS/ASR Hydraulic Unit
SKU:
307023
$1,878.00
- Type: A vital electronic and hydraulic component that forms the core of the vehicle’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) also known as Traction Control. It is an intricate assembly responsible for precisely controlling brake fluid pressure to each wheel independently.
- Function: The primary functions of this ABS/ASR Hydraulic Unit are critical for vehicle safety, stability, and control:
- ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): During hard braking, it rapidly modulates brake fluid pressure to individual wheels to prevent them from locking up. This allows the driver to maintain steering control and reduce stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
- ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation / Traction Control): During acceleration, it detects wheel spin and selectively applies the brakes to the slipping wheel(s) and/or reduces engine power to restore traction and maintain vehicle stability, especially on low-grip surfaces or during aggressive acceleration.
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP/MSP – Maserati Stability Program): In conjunction with the ABS/ASR control module (often integrated), it forms the hydraulic actuator for the full Electronic Stability Program, which intervenes during oversteer or understeer situations to help keep the vehicle on its intended path.
- Components: The hydraulic unit typically consists of:
- Hydraulic Block/Manifold: Contains a series of electrically controlled solenoid valves (one or more per brake circuit) that open and close rapidly to regulate fluid pressure.
- Electric Pump: A high-pressure electric pump that re-pressurizes the brake fluid that is momentarily released by the valves back into the brake lines.
- Accumulators: Small reservoirs to store pressurized fluid.
- Note: This unit often comes with, or is designed to integrate with, the ABS/ASR Electronic Control Unit (ECU/Module), which is the “brain” that sends commands to the hydraulic unit based on sensor input. Some part numbers may include both, while others are just the hydraulic block.
- Location: Typically mounted within the engine bay, often near the master cylinder, and connected to the brake lines.
- Material: Constructed from durable metals (e.g., aluminum, steel) for the hydraulic manifold and pump housing, with precision-machined internal components, high-quality seals, and robust electrical connections.
