Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-5
General Description
EHCU has controlled ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
and EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution System).
ABS works on all four wheels. EBD system works on
rear 2 wheels. A combination of wheel speed sensor
and Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) can
determine when a wheel is about to stop turning and
adjust brake pressure to maintain best braking. This system helps the driver maintain greater control of
the vehicle under heavy braking conditions.
Note: The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
comprises the Hydraulic Unit (H/U) and Control Unit.
This illustration is based on RHD model

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-9
Pressure Isolation (Pressure Maintain)
The electronic-hydraulic control unit is activated when
the brakes are applied.
If the information from the wheel speed sensors
indicates excessive wheel deceleration (imminent
lockup), the first step in the anti-lock sequence is to
isolate the brake pressure being applied by the brake
pedal.
The microprocessor in the Control Unit sends a voltage
to the coil to energize and close the isolation valve.
This prevents any additional fluid pressure applied by
the brake pedal from reaching the wheel. With the
isolation valves closed, unnecessary increase in the
brake pressure is prevented.

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-19
System Components
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), four Wheel
Speed Sensors, two Warning Lamps, and G-sensor.
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault
detector, and a fail-safe. It drives the EHCU according
to the signal from each sensor, cancelling ABS to return
to normal braking when a malfunction has occurred in
the ABS.
The EHCU has a self-diagnosing function which can
indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis.
The EHCU is mounted on the engine compartment rear
left side. It consists of a motor, solenoid valves fail safe
relay.
Solenoid Valves: Reduces or holds the caliper fluid
pressure for each front brake or both rear brakes
according to the signal sent from the EHCU.
Buffer chamber: Temporarily holds the brake fluid that
returns from the front and rear brake so that pressure
of front brake can be reduced smoothly.
Motor: Drives the pump according to the signal from
EHCU.
Fail safe Relay: When failure occurs in ABS.
The power supply to solenoid Valve is cut.
ABS Warning Lamp
825L300001
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System
have an amber “ABS” warning lamp in the instrument
panel. The “ABS” warning lamp will illuminate if a
malfunction in the Anti-lock Brake System is detected
by the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). In
case of an electronic malfunction, the EHCU will turn
“ON” the “ABS” warning lamp and disable the anti-lock
braking function.
The “ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON” for
approximately three seconds after the ignition switch is
to the “ON” position.
If the “ABS” warning lamp stays “ON” after the ignition
switch is the “ON” position, or comes “ON” and stays
“ON” while driving, the Anti-lock Brake System should
be inspected for a malfunction according to the
diagnosis procedure.
Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is
attached to the knuckle on the front wheels and to the
rear wheels.
The rotor is press-fit in the axle shaft.
G-Sensor
The G-sensor detects the vehicle deceleration speed
and sends a signal to the EHCU. In 4WD operation, all
four wheels may be decelerated in almost the same
phase, since all wheels are connected mechanically.
This tendency is noticeable particularly on roads with
low friction coefficient, and the ABS control is adversely
affected.
The G-sensor judges whether the friction coefficient of
road surface is low or high, and changes the EHCU's
operating system to ensure ABS and EBD control.
Normal and Anti-lock Braking
Under normal driving conditions, the Anti-lock Brake
System functions the same as a standard power
assisted brake system. However, with the detection of
wheel lock-up, a slight bump or kick-back will be felt in
the brake pedal. This pedal “bump” will be followed by a
series of short pedal pulsations which occurs in rapid
succession. The brake pedal pulsation will continue
until there is no longer a need for the anti-lock function
or until the vehicle is stopped. A slight ticking or
popping noise may be heard during brake applications
when the anti-lock features is being used.
When the anti-lock feature is being used, the brake
pedal may rise even as the brakes are being applied.
This is also normal. Maintaining a constant force on
the pedal will provide the shortest stopping distance.
