is depressed or not through ETACS-ECU to ABS-ECU
via the CAN line.

CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
SENSORM2351001000494
Wheel speed sensor
The wheel speed sensor is a kind of a pulse genera-
tor. It consists of the magnetic encoder for wheel
speed detection (a plate on which north and south
pole sides of the magnets are arranged alternately)
which rotates at the same speed of the wheel and
the wheel speed sensor (semiconductor sensor).
This sensor outputs frequency pulse signals in pro
-
portion to the wheel speed.
The front wheel speed sensor consists of the front
wheel speed sensor mounted on the knuckle and the
magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection which is
press-fitted together with the oil seal to the front
wheel bearing. The rear wheel speed sensor con
-
sists of the rear wheel speed sensor mounted on the
trailing arm assembly and the magnetic encoder for
wheel speed detection which is press-fitted together
with the oil seal to the rear wheel bearing.
ACTUATORSM2351002000356
ABS warning light, Brake warning light
The ABS system informs the driver of the ABS sys-
tem status by illuminating, extinguishing, or flashing
the ABS warning light and brake warning light as fol
-
lows.
ABS warning light
•Turns ON when a system malfunction occurs.
Brake warning light
•Turns ON when an EBD system malfunction
occurs.
NOTE: .
•Turns ON when the brake fluid level in the
reservoir tank becomes the specified value or
lower.
•Turns ON when the parking brake lever is
pulled and the brake is activated.

CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
FOUR-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (4ABS)35B-7
ABS-ECUM2351003000520
•By integrating ABS-ECU into the hydraulic unit,
no wiring harness for sending drive signal of the
solenoid valve and pump motor is required,
assuring higher reliability.
•Self-diagnostic and memory functions are inte-
grated into ABS-ECU. If any malfunction is
detected by the self-diagnostic function,
ABS-ECU activates a fail-safe function and illumi
-
nates the ABS warning light and brake warning
light
*.
NOTE: *: The brake warning light is used as the
EBD control warning light.
•ABS-ECU detects vehicle speed from the signals
of the wheel speed sensor and its recognizes the
wheel rotation status, estimates the wheel slip
condition based on the preprogrammed algo
-
rithm, and then controls the solenoid valve in the
hydraulic unit so that the wheels do not lock.
ABS hydraulic pressure control
ABS control cycle
1. The ABS-ECU calculates the speed and deceler-
ation of each wheel based on the signals from the
four wheel speed sensors, and estimates the
vehicle speed at that time.
2. When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake
fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder
increases, and the wheel speed decreases.
When the difference between the wheel speed
and vehicle speed increases, and the vehicle
deceleration goes below the specified value (Point A), ECU determines that the wheels are
about to be locked. At this time, ECU reduces the
brake fluid pressure by outputting the pressure
decrease signal to the solenoid valves (IN, OUT).
(between a and b)
3. When the vehicle deceleration and wheel speed
begin recovery, and the vehicle speed reaches
the point B, ECU outputs the pressure hold signal
to maintain the wheel cylinder fluid pressure.

4. When the wheel speed deceleration is further
recovered and overpasses the point C, ECU
determines that the wheel lock possibility has
been eliminated and increases the brake fluid
pressure by outputting the pressure increase sig
-
nal again. (between c and d)
5. Brake fluid pressure is controlled by repeating the
increase and hold of the pressure. (between d
and e)
6. When the wheel deceleration goes below the
threshold again, ABS-ECU controls the brake
fluid pressure by repeating the cycle (Step 2 to 5).
Four-wheel control
ABS fluid pressure is controlled independently for
four wheels.
EBD fluid pressure control
EBD control is activated in a range with lower slip
ratio where ABS is disabled. EBD calculates vehicle
deceleration and slip amount of the four wheels
based on the wheel speed sensor signal. If the rear
wheel speed differs from the vehicle speed by a cer
-
tain level or more, EBD increases, holds, and
decreases the pressure at the rear wheel control
solenoid valve in the hydraulic unit, and then adjusts
rear wheel brake fluid pressure fairly close to an
ideal distribution curve.
INITIAL CHECK
ABS-ECU performs the following initial checks using
the diagnostic functions. ABS-ECU illuminates the
ABS warning light for 3 seconds (including the initial
check)
* after the ignition switch is turned ON. If any
malfunction is detected, ABS-ECU continues illumi
-
nating the ABS warning light and disables ABS con-
trol.
NOTE: *: The ABS warning light may stay on after
the ignition switch is turned ON until the startup vehi
-
cle speed reaches approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
As the ABS-ECU memorizes any diagnostic trouble
code related to the wheel speed sensor malfunction
recorded during the previous ignition ON status,
ABS-ECU continues illuminating the ABS warning
light until it verifies that the malfunction for that code
is resolved (startup check).

STARTUP CHECK
.When the startup vehicle speed reaches approxi-
mately 10 km/h (6 mph), ABS-ECU performs the fol-
lowing checks.
1. Motor, solenoid valve check (Initial startup* only)
Turns ON the motor relay in ECU, and checks the
pump motor operation. At the same time,
ABS-ECU sequentially energizes each solenoid
valve in a very short period and checks the valve
operation.
NOTE: *: Initial startup indicates a first startup
after the system has started.
2. Wheel speed sensor check
ABS-ECU checks for any wheels that have not
received wheel speed sensor signal from the
startup.
CONSTANT CHECK
.ABS-ECU constantly checks the following items.
1. ABS-ECU
Performs self-diagnosis in ECU.
2. ECU power supply
Checks if ECU power supply voltage stays within
the operational range.
3. Wheel speed sensor
(1) Monitors the output voltage of the sensor
signal wiring harness and checks for abnormal
output voltage (open/short circuit).
(2) Checks for any wheels that do not send pulse
signal while the vehicle is in motion.
(3) Checks if wheel speed which is abnormally
higher or lower than the vehicle speed is input.
4. Pump motor, solenoid valve
Checks that the ABS-ECU output signal and the
operating conditions of the pump motor and
solenoid valve agree with each other.
CAN COMMUNICATION
ABS-ECU outputs the ABS warning light and the
EBD warning light
* illumination request signals to the
combination meter through CAN communication.
NOTE: *: The brake warning light is used as EBD
control warning light.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If any malfunction is detected by the self-diagnostic
function, ABS-ECU illuminates the ABS warning light
and brake warning light
*, and it disables ABS and
EBD control.
NOTE: *: The brake warning light is used as EBD
control warning light.
