Brakes
The pressure at the inlet valves corresponds to the opening pressure of the relief valve (item 15) incorporated in the
isolation valve. Excess brake fluid is drained to the suction side of the pump via the relief valve and returns either to
the TMC secondary circuit and on to the
fluid reservoir, or is directly drawn on by the pump.
As soon as the spinning wheel has been braked down into the normal range of wheel spin, the NO valves (items
16 or 17) close to prevent any further increase in brake pressure. Depending upon the acceleration of the wheel, the NC
valve (item
20 or 21) may open to decrease thesecondary circuit brake pressure. NCvalves (item 17 or 18) may remain
closed in orderto achieve a brake pressure holding phase. If the pressure in the secondarycircuit needs to be increased
again, the NC valve closes again (if open) and the NO valve opens, diverting the necessary volume flow. This control
action, keeps the wheel in the range of optimum slip until the spinning tendency ceases.
The NO isolation valve
(14) remains closed throughout the traction control cycle.
An actuation of the brake, sensed by the control module, causes the traction control mode to be terminated and the
isolation valve (item
14) to be opened. The TMC pressure simultaneously closes the hydraulic inlet valve (item 13) so that the pump can no longer draw fluid from it. The ABS / TC CM now operates in normal ABS mode.
m: When traction control is initiated, speed control is deactivated (if in operation) and requires re-setting after
the traction control mode has terminated. Gear shift is inhibited on automatic transmission vehicles; no down- shifts are allowed and upshifts occur at 4800 RPM.
