Valve Operation (Abs Function And EBD Function)
The control unit built in the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) controls fluid pressure of the brake calipers, respectively, by operating each valve.

Pressure increases |
During pressure front RH brake caliper increases
- When the cut valve 2 and the ABS IN valve opens, brake fluid is supplied to the front RH brake caliper from the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit through the ABS IN valve. Brake fluid does not flow into the reservoir because the ABS OUT valve is closed.
During pressure front LH brake caliper increases
- When the cut valve 1 and the ABS IN valve opens, brake fluid is supplied to the front LH brake caliper from the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit through the ABS IN valve. Brake fluid does not flow into the reservoir because the ABS OUT valve is closed.
During pressure rear RH brake caliper increases
- When the cut valve 1 and the ABS IN valve opens, brake fluid is supplied to the rear RH brake caliper from the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit through the ABS IN valve. Brake fluid does not flow into the reservoir because the ABS OUT valve is closed.
During pressure rear LH brake caliper increases
- When the cut valve 2 and the ABS IN valve opens, brake fluid is supplied to the rear LH brake caliper from the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit through the ABS IN valve. Brake fluid does not flow into the reservoir because the ABS OUT valve is closed.

Pressure holds |
During pressure front RH brake caliper holds
- Since the ABS IN valve and the ABS OUT valve are closed, the front RH brake caliper, electrically-driven intelligent brake unit, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the front RH brake caliper.
During pressure front LH brake caliper holds
- Since the ABS IN valve and the ABS OUT valve are closed, the front LH brake caliper, electrically-driven intelligent brake unit, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the front LH brake caliper.
During pressure rear RH brake caliper holds
- Since the ABS IN valve and the ABS OUT valve are closed, the rear RH brake caliper, electrically-driven intelligent brake unit, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the rear RH brake caliper.
During pressure rear LH brake caliper holds
- Since the ABS IN valve and the ABS OUT valve are closed, the rear LH brake caliper, electrically-driven intelligent brake unit, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the rear LH brake caliper.

Pressure decreases |
During pressure front RH brake caliper decreases
- Since the ABS IN valve is closed and the ABS OUT valve is opened, fluid pressure applied on the front RH brake caliper is supplied to the reservoir through the ABS OUT valve. This fluid pressure decreases when sent to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit by the pump.
During pressure front LH brake caliper decreases
- Since the ABS IN valve is closed and the ABS OUT valve is opened, fluid pressure applied on the front LH brake caliper is supplied to the reservoir through the ABS OUT valve. This fluid pressure decreases when sent to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit by the pump.
During pressure rear RH brake caliper decreases
- Since the ABS IN valve is closed and the ABS OUT valve is opened, fluid pressure applied on the rear RH brake caliper is supplied to the reservoir through the ABS OUT valve. This fluid pressure decreases when sent to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit by the pump.
During pressure rear LH brake caliper decreases
- Since the ABS IN valve is closed and the ABS OUT valve is opened, fluid pressure applied on the rear LH brake caliper is supplied to the reservoir through the ABS OUT valve. This fluid pressure decreases when sent to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit by the pump.

During front RH brake caliper release
- Brake fluid is supplied to the front RH brake caliper through the return check valve of the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 2, and returns to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit.
During front LH brake caliper release
- Brake fluid is supplied to the front LH brake caliper through the return check valve of the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 1, and returns to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit.
During rear RH brake caliper release
- Brake fluid is supplied to the rear RH brake caliper through the return check valve of the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 1, and returns to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit.
During rear LH brake caliper release
- Brake fluid is supplied to the rear LH brake caliper through the return check valve of the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 2, and returns to the electrically-driven intelligent brake unit.
Component Parts and Function
|
Component |
Function |
|
Pump |
Returns the brake fluid reserved in reservoir to electrically-driven intelligent brake unit by reducing pressure. |
|
Motor |
Activates the pump according to signals from control unit part. |
|
Cut valve 1 Cut valve 2 |
Shuts off the ordinary brake line from electrically-driven intelligent brake unit. |
|
Suction valve 1 Suction valve 2 |
Supplies the brake fluid from electrically-driven intelligent brake unit to the pump. |
|
ABS IN valve |
Switches the fluid pressure line to increase or hold according to signals from control unit part. |
|
ABS OUT valve |
Switches the fluid pressure line to hold or decrease according to signals from control unit part. |
|
Inlet valve |
Brake fluid sucked from the reservoir by the pump does not backflow. |
|
Outlet valve |
Brake fluid discharged from the pump does not backflow. |
|
Return check valve |
Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper to electrically-driven intelligent brake unit 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. |
|
Master cylinder pressure sensor |
Detects the brake fluid pressure from master cylinder part and transmits signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). |
