7-12 . Electronic Brake Force Distribution ( EBD ) system
S07AM
The EBD system maximizes the effectiveness of the brakes by allowing the rear brakes to supply a greater proportion of the braking force . It functions by adjusting the distribution of braking force to the rear wheels in accordance with the vehicle ’ s loading condition and speed .
The EBD system is an integral part of the ABS and uses some of the ABS components to perform its function of optimizing the distribution of braking force . If any of the ABS components used by the EBD system malfunction , the EBD system also stops working .
When the EBD system is operating , you may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal . This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction .
