Circuit Description

When braking during Stabiltrak® activation, the brake pedal will feel different than the ABS pedal pulsation. The brake pedal pulsates at a higher frequency during Stabilitrak® activation. Perform this test if the brake pedal buzzes excessively during medium braking. Medium braking is defined as greater than 0.3 g or 10 ft/s² (3 m/s²).
