GENERAL INFORMATION
ANTI-SKID BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)35B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2351000100409
FEATURES
The ABS ensures directional stability and controlla-
bility during hard braking.
For vehicles with this type of ABS, 4 sensors (4
channels) are installed on front and rear wheels
allowing independent left and right control.
The system has the following features:
•EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution system)
control has been added to provide the ideal brak
-
ing force for the rear wheels.
•Magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection has
been installed as a sensing device instead of the
rotor.
•For wiring harness saving and secure data com-
munication, CAN* bus has been adopted as a
tool of communication with another ECU.
NOTE: *: For more information about CAN (Control-
ler Area Network), refer to Group 54C, General Infor-
mation P.54C-2.
EBD CONTROL
In ABS, electronic control is used so the rear wheel
brake hydraulic pressure during braking is regulated
by rear wheel control solenoid valves in accordance
with the vehicle's rate of deceleration, and the front
and rear wheel slippage which are calculated from
the signals received from the various wheel speed
sensors. EBD control provides a high level of control
for both vehicle braking force and vehicle stability.
The system has the following features:
•Because the system provides the optimum rear
wheel braking force regardless of vehicle load
condition and the condition of the road surface,
the system reduces the required pedal depres
-
sion force, particularly when the vehicle is heavily
loaded or driven on road surfaces with high fric
-
tional coefficients.
•Because the duty placed on the front brakes is
reduced, the increase in pad temperature can be
controlled during brakes application to improve
the wear resistance characteristics of the pad.
•Control valves such as the proportioning valve
are not required.

The syst em has the following features:
•Because the system p rovides t he optimum rea r
wheel braking force regardless of vehicle load
co ndition a nd the condition of the road surface,
the system reduces the required pedal depre s
-
sion fo rce, particularly wh en th e veh icle is h eavily

•Because the duty place d on th e front brakes is

controlled d uring brake s ap plication to impro ve
the we ar resist ance characteristics of the pad.
•Contro l valves such as the propo rtioning valve

Employment of the parking brake pedal clears front
centre space to allow a walk through design.
PUSH-ON/PUSH-RELEASE type pedal has been
installed for easier operation.
The parking brake pedal retreat suppression mecha-
nism that restraints the retraction of the brake pedal
during collision has been adopted in order to reduce
the shock to the driver's feet. The mechanism of the
parking brake pedal is basically the same as that of
the brake pedal.
