System Components
System Description
SENSOR
The sensor unit consists of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and an
electro-magnetic proximity detector. The proximity detector
(ªpick-upº) contains a bar magnet around which a coil is wound.
The detector is installed on the back side of the brake rotor. An
alternating voltage is generated in the coil of the proximity detec-
tor as each tooth of the rotor cuts the magnetic field of the
detector core. The frequency and amplitude of the voltage
increases in proportion to the rotational speed of the rotor.
CONTROL UNIT
The control unit determines the wheel rotating speed from the
signal sent from the sensor, a corresponding control signal is
then output from the control unit in the form of a DC current to
the actuator solenoid valve. The ABS control unit also controls
ON-OFF operation of the valve relay and motor relay. If any
electrical malfunction should be detected in the system, the con-
trol unit causes the warning lamp to light up. In this condition, the
ABS will be deactivated by the control unit, and the vehicle's
brake system reverts to normal operation.

H: If one or more wheels spin on a rough or slippery road for 40 seconds or more, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate. This does
not indicate a malfunction. Only in the case of the short-circuit after repair the ABS warning lamp also illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is turned ªONº. In this case, drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approximately 1 minute
as specified in ªSELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDUREº, BR-70. Check to ensure that the ABS warning lamp goes out while the
vehicle is being driven.
