4) Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder is designed to
convert the force from the brake maste
r
cylinder to the high hydraulic pressure. The
brake system uses the tandem type master
cylinder with in-line 2 pistons.
The in-line 2 pistons generate the hydraulic
pressure. The piston cup on the piston keeps
the sealing conditions in cylinder and
prevents the oil leaks. The hydraulic
pressure generated by the primary piston is
delivered to the front wheels, and the
hydraulic pressure generated by the
secondary piston is delivered to the rea
r
wheels.
5) Brake Booster
The brake booster is a power assist device for brake system. It relieves the pedal depressing
force by using the pressure difference between the vacuum pressure generated by vacuum
pump in intake manifold and the atmospheric pressure.
▶Pressure distribution at working
When depressing the brake pedal, the push
rod (1) in booster pushes the poppet (2) and
valve plunger (3). The poppet (2) pushes the
power piston seat (5) resulting in closing the
vacuum valve (9). The chamber (A) and (B)
in power cylinder are isolated and the valve
plunger (3) is separated from the poppet (2).
And then the air valve (6) opens and ai
r
flows into the chamber (B) through filter.
Then, the power piston (5) pushes the
master cylinder push rod (7) to assist the
brake operation.
▶Pressure distribution after working
When releasing the brake pedal, the valve
plunger (3) returns back to the original
position by return spring (4) and the air valve
(6) closes. At this time, the vacuum valve (9)
opens and the pressure difference between
chamber (A) and (B) in power cylinder is
eliminated. Accordingly, the power piston (5)
returns back to original position by the
reaction of master cylinder (10) and the
diaphragm return spring (8).

ESP SYSTEM
▶When applied ABS (decreased pressure)
The pressure decreases just before the wheel speed drops and the wheels. The inlet valve
closes and the outlet valve opens as in the ABS HECU and the oil is gathered at the low
pressure chamber while no additional oil is being supplied.
Then the pump operates to allow fast oil drainage.

ABS SYSTEM
Pressure Decreases in the Circuit when ABS is Operating ▶
Pressure Increases in the Circuit when ABS is Operating ▶
Even when the hydraulic pressure on each circuit is stable, the wheel can be locked as the
wheel speed decreases. This is when the ABS ECU detects the wheel speed and the vehicle
speed and gives the optimized braking without locking the wheels. In order to prevent from
hydraulic pressure increases, the inlet valve is closed and the outlet valve is opened. Also, the
oil is sent to the low pressure changer and the wheel speed increases again. The ABS ECU
operates the pump to circulate the oil in the low pressure chamber to the master cylinder. This
may make the driver to feel the brake pedal vibration and some noises.
As the wheel speed increases, the inlet valve opens and the wheel’s pressure increases
due to the master cylinder pressure. The oil in the low pressure chamber circulates to the wheel
by the pump and the wheel speed decreases as the hydraulic pressure at wheel increases. This
operation continues repetitively until there are no signs that the ECU is locking the wheels.
When the ABS hydraulic pressure control takes place, there may be some vibration and noises
at the brake pedal.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM
3. POWER STEERING PUMP
The vane type pump that is connected to engine by belt is used for the power steering system.
This pump generates and controls a proper hydraulic pressure and flows by using the flow
control valve and pressure relief valve.
The flow control valve regulates the excessive amount of discharging oil. When the steering
wheel is stationary or the oil circuit is blocked, the pressure relief valve returns the ove
r
pressurized oil to the oil reservoir.
4. OIL RESERVOIR
The oil reservoir sends the oil to the power steering pump and receives the oil from the power
steering gear.
The oil level in the reservoir depends on the steering wheel positions. therefore, measure the oil
level when the steering wheel is positioned at straight ahead direction (neutral).
