In the 2002 Toyota Camry, some models now come with anti-lock brakes, which were not available in previous years for the SE and LE V6 sedans and the 4Cylinder XLE trim levels. Starting in 2002, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) were integrated as standard features on these trims, while remaining optional on other Camry models. ABS is considered a safety enhancement for vehicles, as it utilizes data from wheel speed sensors and the engine's electronic control unit (ECU) to detect wheel lock and slippage caused by unfavorable road conditions. To address this issue, the ABS system automatically "pumps" the brakes without requiring any action from the driver. This rapid pumping action, occurring hundreds of times per second, helps prevent wheel lock and subsequent skidding.
Anti-lock brakes were a feature limited to only a few trim levels of the 2002 Toyota Camry, specifically the V6 and XLE trims.
