If a wheel begins to lock, the ECU transmits an electrical impulse to modulator valves that can apply, release or hold the air pressure in the brake chambers. The rapid modulation of air pressure prevents wheel lock-up and increases driver control. If a fault occurs in one wheel, that wheel shall have normal (non- ABS) brake function. The other wheels shall continue to provide the ABS function. If the ABS system should fail completely, the brake control shall be returned to normal (non-ABS) braking.

The hydraulic retarder uses the viscous forces between dynamic and static vanes in a fluid-filled chamber to achieve retardation. The retarder will use vanes attached to a transmission driveshaft. They will be driven separately via gears off a driveshaft. The vanes are enclosed in a static chamber with small clearances to the chamber's walls (which will also be vaned). When retardation is required, fluid (oil or water) is pumped into the chamber, and the viscous drag induced will slow the vehicles. The working fluid will heat and is circulated through a cooling system.

4.10. Traction control system: An electronic traction control system shall be applied using ABS sensors. On slippery surfaces, sensors detect differentials in wheel spin on the propulsion axles and selectively apply the brake on an individual wheel (the one spinning) to direct propulsion torque to the wheel with the higher traction and subsequently less revolutions.
