Some hybrid systems apply the hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Normally, the fluid pressure for the wheel hydraulics is generated by the pump and/or accumulator in the ABS HCU or a stroke simulator, and is regulated by the teamed efforts of the ABS and the PCM’s logic. This is called “manual mode.”
