Abstract
In an anti-skid control system for motor vehicles of the type that the drive system thereof is switchable between two-wheel drive (2WD) and four wheel drive (4WD), the design is made such that when the drive system of the motor vehicle is switched, the anti-skid control system is changed such that under 2WD condition, it operates as a three-channel system wherein the front wheels of the motor vehicle are controlled independently and the rear wheels thereof are controlled on the basis of the lower one of the rear wheel speeds, while under 4WD condition, the anti-skid control system operates as cross or X-type two channel system wherein the wheels associated with each of the two channels are controlled on the basis of the lower one of the two wheel speeds.
