Anti-Lock Braking System

The Insight is equipped with a compact and lightweight ABS modulator assembly. The modulator unit

and ABS control unit are integrated into one component which also includes relays, wires and electrical

couplers.

During ABS function the IMA cuts battery regeneration (charging) to ensure there is adequate voltage

for ABS operation. After ABS operation has ceased, the IMA recommences battery regeneration

(charging).
