Service precautions ▶
Observe the following general precautions during any ABS/TCS service. Failure to adhere to
these precautions may result in ABS/TCS system damage.
Disconnect the EBCM harness connector before performing the electric welding procedures.
Carefully note the routing of the ABS/TCS wiring and wiring components during removal.
The ABS/ TCS components are extremely sensitive to EMI (eletromagnetic interference).
Proper mounting is critical during component service.
Disconnect the EBCM connector with the ignition OFF.
Do not hang the suspension components from the wheel speed sensor cables. The cables
may be damaged.
Do not use petroleum based fluids in the master cylinder. Do not use any containers
previously used for petroleum based fluids. Petroleum causes swelling and distortion of the
rubber components in the hydraulic brake system, resulting in water entering the system
and lowering the fluid boiling point. 1.

(3) COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
HECU (Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit) ▶
Motor Pump ▶
Valve Body ▶
HECU consists of motor pump (1), solenoid
valve (2) and ECU (3).
ECU connector has 47 pins and the numbe
r
of valves in valve body is 6 when equipped
with only ABS and 12 when equipped with
ESP system.
The motor is operated when ABS is
activated. The cam-shaped output shaft o
f
the motor enables the brake system to
receive and supply the brake fluid during the
motor operation.
The cam bushing is installed between
plungers and it draws and discharges the
brake fluid.

When the cam pushes the left plunger
during motor operation, the system pressure
is generated in the left cylinder. At this time,
the right plunger is expanded by spring force
and the expanded volume of the right
cylinder draws the brake fluid.
HECU controls the hydraulic valves by
supplying or cutting off the voltage to
solenoid valves depending on the wheel
speed and other information from wheel
speed sensors.
The figure shown in left side is for ESP
ECU. There are two channels for front
wheels and one channel for rear wheels.
Each channel has one inlet and one outlet
valve, therefore,
there are six solenoid valves.
The electrical components are weak to
moisture. To protect ECU, GoreTex-based
plate is used at ECU lower cover. The vent
hall (arrow) allows air to ventilate but does
not allow moisture to penetrate.
