ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM(for Type B) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS Helps prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied firmly or when braking on a slippery surface.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD control utilizes the ABS, realizing proper brake force distribution between the front and rear wheels in accordance with the driving conditions. When braking while cornering, it also controls the brake forces of the right and left wheels, helping maintain vehicle behavior.
FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
Component
Function
Brake Actuator Assembly
Skid Control ECU
Judges the vehicle driving condition based on the signals from each sensor, and sends the brake control signals to the brake actuator assembly.
Pump Motor
Drives the pumps inside the brake actuator assembly.
Solenoid Valves
The hydraulic circuit has 4 pressure holding solenoid valves and 4 pressure reduction solenoid valves.
Change the fluid path based on the signals from the skid control ECU during the operation of the brake control system functions, in order to control the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinders.
Skid Control ECU
ABS Motor Relay
Supplies power to the pump motor.
ABS Solenoid Relay
Supplies power to the solenoid valves.
Speed Sensor
Detects the wheel speed of each of the 4 wheels.
Stop Light Switch Assembly
Detects the brake pedal depressing signal.
Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU)
Transmits the parking brake switch signal to the skid control ECU.
Parking Brake Switch Assembly
Detects when the parking brake lever is pulled up.
ECM
Sends the throttle position signal, accelerator pedal position signal engine speed signal to the skid control ECU.
Combination Meter Assembly
ABS Warning Light
Illuminates to alert the driver when the skid control ECU detects a malfunction in the ABS.
Brake Warning Light
Illuminates to alert the driver when the skid control ECU detects a malfunction in the EBD or brake system.
Illuminates to alert the driver when the brake fluid level is low.
Illuminates to inform the driver when the parking brake is operated.
Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Assembly
Brake Fluid Level Warning Switch
Detects the brake fluid level.
