The following is taken directly from the Service Manual:
The primary functions of the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) are to:
² Monitor the Antilock Brake System (ABS) for proper operation.
² Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tendencies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the vehicle.
² Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes while the system is in an ABS mode.
² Store diagnostic information.
² Provide communication to the DRBIIIT scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
² Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator lamp.
² Illuminate the brake assist (BAS)/electronic stability program (ESP) lamp on the instrument panel when a traction control event occurs.
The CAB constantly monitors the Antilock Brake System for proper operation. If the CAB detects a fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indicator lamp and disable the Antilock Braking System. The normal base braking system will remain operational.
HDDP, this is the quote from June that I saw. I haven't had the opportunity to try it, but someone posted after this that it seemed to work, but no one has reported back on longevity issues.
Good luck this weekend with your event.
