COMPONENT PARTS
Suction Valve 1, Suction Valve 2
Supplies the brake fluid from master cylinder to t
he pump, when VDC function and TCS function are activated.
Return Check Valve
Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper and wheel cy linder to master cylinder by bypassing orifice of each
valve when brake is released.
Reservoir
Temporarily reserves the brake fluid drained from brake caliper, so that pressure efficiently decreases when
decreasing pressure of brake caliper and wheel cylinder.
Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor
Calculates the following information that affects the vehicle, and transmits a signal to ABS actuator and elec-
tric unit (control unit) via communication lines.
• Vehicle rotation angular velocity (yaw rate signal)
• Vehicle lateral acceleration (side G signal) and longitudinal acceleration (decel G signal)
Pressure Sensor
Detects the brake fluid pressure and transmits signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Wheel Sensor and Sensor RotorINFOID:0000000009463744
NOTE:
• Wheel sensor of front wheel is installed on steering knuckle.
• Sensor rotor of front wheel is integrated in wheel hub assembly.
• Wheel sensor of rear wheel is installed on back plate of rear brake.
• Sensor rotor of rear wheel is installed on rear brake drum.
• Never measure resistance and voltage value using a tester because sensor is active sensor.
• Downsize and weight reduction is aimed. IC for detection portion and magnet for sensor rotor are adopted.
• Power supply is supplied to detection portion so that magnetic field line is read. Magnetic field that is detected is converted to current
signal.
• When sensor rotor rotates, magnetic field changes. Magnetic field change is converted to current signals (rectangular wave) and is
transmitted to ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit). Change
of magnetic field is proportional to wheel speed.

Detects the operation status of brake pedal and transmits converted electric signal to ABS actuator and elec-
tric unit (control unit).
Steering Angle SensorINFOID:0000000009463746
Detects the following information and transmits steering angl e signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) via CAN communication.
• Steering wheel rotation amount
• Steering wheel rotation angular velocity
• Steering wheel rotation direction
Brake Fluid Level SwitchINFOID:0000000009463747
Detects the brake fluid level in reservoir tank and transmi ts converted electric signal from combination meter to
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
Vacuum SensorINFOID:0000000009463748
Detects the vacuum in brake booster and transmits conver ted electric signal to ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).

SYSTEM
• Wheel spin status of drive wheel is detected by wheel sensor of 4
wheels. Engine output and transmission shift status is controlled
so that slip rate of drive wheels is in appropriate level. When wheel
spin occurs on drive wheel, ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) perform brake force control of LH and RH drive wheels (apply
brake force by increasing brake fluid pressure of drive wheel) and
decrease engine torque by engine torque control. Wheel spin
amount decreases. Engine torque is controlled to appropriate
level.
• TCS function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating VDC OFF switch. In this case, VDC OFF indicator lamp
turns ON.
• SLIP indicator lamp blinks while TCS function is in operation and
indicates to the driver that the function is in operation.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in TCS
function, the control is sus pended for VDC function and TCS func-
tion. However, ABS function and EBD function operate normally.
Refer to BRC-41, "Fail-safe"
.

• By preventing wheel lock through brake force (brake flui d pressure) control that is electronically controlled by
detecting wheel speed during braking, stability during em ergency braking is improved so that obstacles can
be avoided by steering operation.
• During braking, control units calculate wheel speeds , and transmit pressure increase, hold or decrease sig-
nals to actuator portion according to wheel slip status.
• The following effects are obtained by preventing wheel lock during braking.
- Vehicle tail slip is prevented during braking when driving straight.
- Understeer and oversteer tendencie s are moderated during brak-
ing while cornering.
- Obstacles may be easily bypassed by steering operation during
braking.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in ABS
function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function
and ABS function. However, EBD function operates normally.
