5A-22 BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
System Components
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), four W heel
Speed Sensors, two W arning 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 and a
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: W hen failure occurs in ABS.
The power supply to solenoid Valve is cut.
ABS Warning Lamp
RTW 75ASH000101
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System
have an amber “ABS” warning lamp on 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 the
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
in the “ON” position.
If the “ABS” warning lamp stays “ON” after the ignition
switch is in 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
diagnostic 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 4W D 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
the 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 feature is being used.
W hen 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.

5A-24 BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
Computer System Service Precautions
The Anti-lock Brake System and Electronic Brake-force
Distribution interfaces directly with the Electronic
Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) which is a control
computer that is similar in some regards to the Engine
Control Module. These modules are designed to
withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle
operation. However, care must be taken to avoid
overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for
opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any
of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits should
only be tested with a high impedance multimeter
5-8840-0366-0 or special tools as described in this
section. Power should never be removed or applied to
any control module with the ignition in the “ON” position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or
connectors, always turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position.
General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Anti-lock
Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in Anti-lock Brake
System and Electronic Brake-force Distribution
damage.
• If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle using an electric arc welder, the EHCU and valve
block connectors should be disconnected before the
welding operation begins.
• The EHCU and valve block connectors should never be connected or disconnected with the
ignition “ON”.
Note:
• If only rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum tester, the system will diagnose a speed sensor
malfunction and the “ABS and Brake” warning lamp
will illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. W hen
the DTC is not detected and the ABS and BRAKE
warning lamp is on, “How to erase code” is
performed and an ABS and BRAKE warning lamp
are off.
If the battery has been discharged
The engine may stall if the battery has been completely
discharged and the engine is started via jumper cables.
This is because the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) System
requires a large quantity of electricity. In this case, wait
until the battery is recharged, or set the ABS and EBD
to a non-operative state by removing the fuse for the
ABS. After the battery has been recharged, stop the
engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
and confirm that the ABS warning Lamp does not light.
Note on Intermittents
As with virtually any electronic system, it is difficult to
identify an intermittent failure. In such a case duplicating
the system malfunction during a test drive or a good
description of vehicle behavior from the customer may
be helpful in locating a “most likely” failed component or
circuit. The symptom diagnosis chart may also be
useful in isolating the failure. Most intermittent
problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or
wiring. W hen an intermittent failure is encountered,
check suspect circuits for:
• Suspected harness damage.
• Poor mating of connector halves or terminals not fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
• Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Test Driving ABS Complaint Vehicles
If there has been an abnormality in the lighting pattern
of the “ABS” warning lamp, the fault can be located in
accordance with the “DIAGNOSIS BY “ABS” W ARNING
LAMP ILLUMINATION PATTERN”. Although such
problems can be detected by the driver as a vehicle
symptom, it is still necessary to perform a test drive
following the test procedure mentioned below, in order
to reproduce the symptom for problem diagnosis on a
symptom basis:
1. Start the engine and make sure that the “ABS” W /L
goes OFF. If the W /L remains ON, it means that
the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
Therefore, read the code and locate the fault.
Note: The DTC cannot be cleared if the vehicle speed
does not exceed about 10km/h (6mph) at DTC, even
though the repair operation is completed.
2. Start the vehicle and accelerate to about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more.
3. Slowly brake and stop the vehicle completely.
4. Then restart the vehicle and accelerate to about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
5. Brake at a time so as to actuate the ABS and stop the vehicle.
6. Be cautious of abnormality during the test. If the W /L is actuated while driving, read the DTC and
locate the fault.
7. If the abnormality is not reproduced by the test, make best efforts to reproduce the situation
reported by the customer.
8. If the abnormality has been detected, repair in accordance with the “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS”.
Note:
• Be sure to perform a test drive on a wide, even road
with light traffic.
• If an abnormality is detected, be sure to suspend the test and start trouble diagnosis at once.

“ABS” Warning Lamp
W hen ABS and problems occur that actuate the “ABS”
warning lamp, the code corresponding to the problem is
stored in the EHCU. Only ordinary braking is available
when the ABS is deactivated. Even when the “ABS”
warning lamp is actuated, if the starter switch is set ON
after setting it OFF once, the EHCU checks up on the
entire system. If there is no abnormality, the EHCU
judges ABS to work correctly and the warning lamp is lit
normally, even though the problem code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the “ABS” warning lamp indicates
that anti-lock braking is no longer available. Power
assisted braking without anti-lock control is still
available.
Normal Operation
“ABS ” Warning Lamp
W hen the ignition is first moved from “OFF” to “RUN”,
the amber “ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON”. The
“ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON” during engine
starting and will usually stay “ON” for approximately
three seconds after the ignition switch is returned to the
“ON” position. The warning lamp should remain “OFF”
at all other times.
Brake (EBD) Warning Lamp
RTW 75ASH000101
Vehicles equipped with the EBD (Electronic Brake-force
Distribution) System have a “Brake” warning lamp on
the instrument panel.
If the ABS warning lamp and Brake warning lamp are
turned "ON", then EBD has failed. ( Parking brake
switch is "OFF")
In the following conditions, the EBD warning lamp is
"ON".
• Starter switch is "ON", engine "OFF". ( Parking brake switch is "OFF")
If engine is started, then EBD warning lamp is "OFF".
( Parking brake switch is "OFF")
