Exclamation ABS recalled Switch? Need it explained to me please

I am having long stop distances when the ABS kicks in (very scary!!)..I ran across this recall on my 1995 Jimmy 4x4...Trying to figure out exactly what switch they are talking about? What is it called? Where is it?......also I didn't know the 4x4 system had anything to do with the ABS? I would love to know...I feel I am definitely going to learn something new today lol

I'm not smart enough to link it here so go to steering - suspension & drivetrain - post by montanajimmy75 - 4wd actuator vacuum line - you find what your looking for along with the replacement part numbers .....

Thank you, You were smarter than me.. I didn't know that the ABS and 4x4 communicate and Why? I found out the ABS acts differently when 4x4 is engaged...Thanks for taking the time to answer my post
