Vehicle: 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass 3.1 V6 GAS
When working on or around brake assemblies, care must be taken to prevent breathing asbestos dust, as many manufacturers incorporate asbestos fibers in the production of brake linings. During routine service operations the amount of asbestos dust from brake lining wear is at a low level due to a chemical breakdown during use, and a few precautions will minimize exposure.
- Do not sand or grind brake linings unless suitable local exhaust ventilation equipment is used to prevent excessive asbestos exposure.
- Wear a suitable respirator approved for asbestos dust use during all repair proced...

Vehicle: 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass 3.1 V6 GAS
System Operation
The function of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is to minimize wheel lock-up during heavy braking on most road surfaces. The system performs this function by monitoring wheel speed and controlling the brake fluid pressure to each front wheel and both rear wheels during braking. This allows the driver to retain directional stability and better steering capability.
System Components
Refer to Fig. for system component locations.
Electronic Brake Control Module/Electronic Brake & Traction Control Module
The ABS system is controlled by a microprocessor based Electronic Brak...
