CONDITION FOR TURN ON THE WARNING LAMP
ABS Warning Lamp
Turns ON at the same time as VDC warning lamp
when either ABS function or EBD function is malfunction-
ing.
Turns ON when ignition switch turns ON and turns OFF when the system is normal, for bulb check purposes.
Brake Warning Lamp
Turns ON at the same time as ABS warning lamp and VDC warning lamp when EBD function, motor/accu- mulator assembly or motor system is malfunctioning.
Turns ON when ignition switch turns ON and turns OFF when the system is normal, for bulb check purposes.
Component Function
Pump Operates the pump drive according
to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) by
the motor.
Motor Operates the motor driv e according to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Accumulator The accumulator accumulates brake fluid conveyed by the motor and pump.
ABS IN valve Increases, holds or decreases the fluid pressure of each caliper according to signals from ABS ac-
tuator and electric unit (control unit).
ABS OUT valve Increases, holds or decreases the fluid pressure of each caliper according to signals from ABS ac-
tuator and electric unit (control unit).
Cut valve 1
Cut valve 2 Shuts off the ordinary brake line fr
om master cylinder to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).
Suction valve 1 Suction Valve 1 switches the brake line to convey accumulator pressure to the front system, accord-
ing to a signal transmitted from the ABS ac
tuator and electric unit (control unit).
Suction valve 2 Suction valve 2 releases
accumulator pressure, acco rding to a signal transmitted from the ABS ac-
tuator and electric unit (control unit).
Control pressure sensor
*Detects the brake fluid pressure of rear brake caliper and transmits a signal to ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit).
Accumulator pressure sensor The accumulator pressure sensor detects brake fluid pressure accumulated in the accumulator and
conveys the detected result to the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Master cylinder pressure sensor Detects the brake fluid pressure of master cylinder part and transmits a signal to ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit).
