ABS Actuator and Electric Unit (Control Unit)
 
 
FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM
Electric unit (control unit) is integrated with actuator and comprehensively controls ASC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, Brake assist function, Brake force distribution function, hill start assist function and electric parking brake function.
 
 
INDIVIDUAL FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM
 
 
ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT)
  • Brake fluid pressure, engine and transaxle are controlled according to signals from each sensor.
  • If malfunction is detected, the system enters fail-safe mode.
 
 
ACTUATOR
The following components are integrated with ABS actuator.
 
 
Pump
  • Pressure the brake fluid and send.
  • Returns the brake fluid reserved in reservoir to master cylinder by reducing pressure.
 
 
Motor
Activates the pump according to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
 
 
Motor Relay
Operates the motor ON/OFF according to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
 
 
Actuator Relay
Operates each valve ON/OFF according to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
 
 
ABS In Valve
Switches the fluid pressure line to increase or hold according to signals from control unit.
noteValve is a solenoid valve.
 
 
ABS Out Valve
Switches the fluid pressure line to increase, hold or decrease according to signals from control unit.
noteValve is a solenoid valve.
 
 
Cut Valve 1, Cut Valve 2
Shuts off the ordinary brake line from master cylinder, when ASC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, brake force distribution function, and hill start assist function are activated.
noteValve is a solenoid valve.
 
 
Suction Valve 1, Suction Valve 2
Supplies the brake fluid from master cylinder to the pump, when ASC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, brake force distribution function, and hill start assist function are activated.
noteValve is a solenoid valve.
 
 
Inlet Valve
Brake fluid sucked from the reservoir by the pump does not backflow.
noteValve is a solenoid valve.
 
 
Outlet Valve
Brake fluid discharged from the pump does not backflow.
noteValve is a solenoid valve.
 
 
Return Check Valve
Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper to master cylinder by bypassing orifice of each valve when brake is released.
 
 
Reservoir
Temporarily reserves the brake fluid drained from brake caliper and wheel cylinder, so that pressure efficiently decreases when decreasing pressure of brake caliper.
 
 
Yaw Rate/Side/Decel G Sensor
Calculates the following information that affects the vehicle, and transmits a signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via communication lines. [Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor is integrated in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).]
  • 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). [Pressure sensor is integrated in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).]
 
 
INDIVIDUAL OPERATION
  • Brake fluid pressure, and traction motor are controlled according to signals from each sensor.
  • If malfunction is detected, the system enters fail-safe mode.
