ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) - Dodge Caravan Owners Manual

ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance
under most braking conditions. The system
automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking
conditions to prevent wheel lock-up.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or
stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can include
ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose
debris, or panic stops.
You may experience the following when the brake system
goes into Anti-lock:
² The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a
short time after the stop).
² A clicking sound of solenoid valves.
² Brake pedal pulsations.
² Aslight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end
of the stop.

WARNING!
² The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated
electronic equipment that may be susceptible
to interference caused by improperly installed
or high output radio transmitting
equipment. This interference can cause possible
loss of anti-lock braking capability. Installation of
such equipment should be performed by qualified
professionals.
² Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish
their effectiveness and may lead to an accident.
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer. Just
press firmly on your brake pedal when you need
to slow down or stop.
