1.1

ABS Repair Instructions

The ABS brake system is divided diagonally (two circuits). The

vacuum brake servo unit boosts the brakes pneumatically.
Models with ABS do not have a mechanical brake pressure reg‐

ulator. A specially coordinated software program inside the ABS

Control Module - J104- determines brake pressure allocation at

the rear axle.
