The Mustang has a 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) as an option. The system operates as follows:

• Prevents wheel lock-up during an emergency stop by modulating brake pressure.
• Permits the driver to maintain steering control and stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance under most conditions.
• Requires varying the brake pedal force to engage the ABS function depending on the road surface conditions. A dry surface requires a higher force, while a slippery surface requires much less force.
• During the ABS operation, the driver will sense a pulsation in the brake pedal (2455) .
• The pedal effort and pedal feel during normal braking are similar to that of a conventional power brake system.

The ABS system consists of the following components:

• Power brake booster (2005) and brake master cylinder (2140) assembly.
• Hydraulic control unit.
• Anti-lock brake control module (2B373).
• Front brake anti-lock sensor (2C204)/ Rear brake anti-lock sensor (2C190) .
