Brakes and Traction Control: Description and Operation






The hydraulic brake system includes the following components:
- Brake master cylinder
- Brake pressure control valve
- Brake tubes
- Front brake hoses
- Front disc brake calipers
- Rear disc brake calipers

The hydraulic brake system is a diagonally split system with a dual piston brake master cylinder. The left front and right rear are on one brake circuit while the right front and left rear are on another brake circuit.

Double-walled steel tubing extends from the brake master cylinder flare nuts to the rear wheel cylinder or rear disc brake caliper and disc brake caliper. Brake hoses make the final connection between the body-mounted brake tubes and the suspension-mounted brake assemblies.
