VALVE OPERATION (OTHER THAN ABS AND EBD)

Each valve is operated and fluid pressure of brake caliper is controlled.
NOTE:
There is no operation to hold and increase pressure for functions other than ABS and EBD.

When Pressure Increases

Component

FUNCTION

Reservoir

Temporarily reserves the brake fluid drained from brake caliper, so that pressure efficiently decreas-
es when decreasing pressure of brake caliper.

Pump

Returns the brake fluid reserved in reservoir to master cylinder by reducing pressure.

Motor

Drives the pump according to signals from control unit.

ABS IN valve

Switches the fluid pressure line to increase or hold according to signals from control unit.

ABS OUT valve

Switches the fluid pressure line to increase, hold or decrease according to signals from control unit.

Return check valve

Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper to master cylinder by bypassing orifice of each valve when 
brake is released.

Cut valve 1
Cut valve 2

Performs the duty control of fluid pressure increased by pump according to signals from control unit.

Pressure Sensor

Detects the brake pedal operation amount.

SYSTEM

When front RH wheel caliper pressure increases

• Motor is activated. Brake fluid from pump is supplied to front RH wheel caliper through ABS IN valve. For

other wheel, ABS IN valve is closed and brakes fluid is not supplied to caliper.

When front LH wheel caliper pressure increases

• Motor is activated. Brake fluid from pump is supplied to front LH wheel caliper through ABS IN valve. For

other wheel, ABS IN valve is closed and brakes fluid is not supplied to caliper.

When rear RH wheel caliper pressure increases

• Motor is activated. Brake fluid from pump is supplied to rear RH wheel caliper through ABS IN valve. For

other wheel, ABS IN valve is closed and brakes fluid is not supplied to caliper.

When rear LH wheel caliper pressure increases

• Motor is activated. Brake fluid from pump is supplied to rear LH wheel caliper through ABS IN valve. For

other wheel, ABS IN valve is closed and brakes fluid is not supplied to caliper.

Released

When front RH wheel caliper pressure decreases

• Being returned to master cylinder through ABS IN valve, fluid pressure of brake caliper is decreased.

When front LH wheel caliper pressure decreases

• Being returned to master cylinder through ABS IN valve, fluid pressure of brake caliper is decreased.

When rear RH wheel caliper pressure decreases

• Being returned to master cylinder through ABS IN valve, fluid pressure of brake caliper is decreased.

When rear LH wheel caliper pressure decreases

• Being returned to master cylinder through ABS IN valve, fluid pressure of brake caliper is decreased.
