Removal of the vacuum booster
with brake cylinder assembly
1. Discharge the vacuum.
If there is vacuum inside of the booster, before removal, step
on the brake pedal 3-5 times, so as to discharge the vacuum.
2. Oil discharge.
To avoid a large amount of brake fluid flowing out when
removing the brake pump, it's suggested to siphon the brake
fluid from the reservoir into another container using a hose,
or loosen the drain connector and collect the fluid in the
container, then drain the brake fluid inside of the pump by
stepping on the brake pedal.
3. Remove the drain connection.
Use a M10 open-end wrench to remove the drain pipe
connection, promptly plug the outlet port to prevent pollution.
4. Use needle nose pliers to remove the lock pin from
the vacuum booster and the brake pedal's connecting
center pin.
5. Remove the vacuum booster's push rod and the pedal's
connecting center pin, and remove the return spring.

Disassembling the vacuum booster with
brake cylinder assembly
1. Brake master pump removal.
Take down the lock nuts between the fixed brake master
pump and front case with a M13 sleeve, and then forcibly
pull out the brake master pump.

Anti-lock Brake System
ABS/EBD introduction
1. Operation
The vehicle's Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is a type of increasingly popular brake safety device. It detects the
wheel's speed using wheel speed sensor detection. After signal processing, the wheel speed will be transferred
to the computer, which controls the solenoid valve’s operating condition and the pressure inside the brake wheel
cylinder to avoid wheel locking by using certain calculations and control methods based on the wheel speed.
ABS helps the vehicle to avoid sliding, deviation, fishtailing, and losing steering control capacity. ABS improves
the vehicle’s handling capability, stability and shortens braking distance. It also helps the vehicle to avoid the
partial wear and tear of wheels, hence improves the tire's useful life.
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) is used to adjust the vehicle's rear wheel brake pressure by using the ABS
components when the ABS does not respond to vehicle braking. It is also used to balance the vehicle’s front and
rear wheel brake pressure, maximizing the vehicle's braking efficiency. EBD uses the ABS components, yet its
controlling logic is independent from the ABS. After the ABS responds, the EBD will disengage.
2. Basic structure
3. ABS working process
(a) Pressure rising phase: While service braking, oil pressure output from the pump passes the inlet solenoid
valve and enters the brake wheel cylinder. The brake generates braking force and the wheel speed sharply
declines until the ABS control unit detects that the wheel is starting to lock via the wheel speed sensor
detection.
(b) Pressure maintaining phase: When the ABS control unit detects that the wheel is starting to lock via wheel
speed sensor signal, the inlet solenoid valve closes, with the outlet solenoid valve shut as usual. The
pressure maintaining phase thus begins.
(c) Pressure drop phrase: During the pressure maintaining phase, the wheels tend to lock further. This brings
the ABS into the pressure drop phrase. With the inlet valve closed and the outlet valve open, the hydraulic
pump starts working, and brake fluid returns to the brake pump from the wheel cylinder by passing through
the low pressure accumulator. The brake pressure reduces and the brake pedal bounces back.
(d) Pressure maintaining phase: With the degree of wheel locking decreases and wheel speed begins to
increase, the pressure maintaining phrase begins.
(e) Next cycle’s pressure rising phase: When the wheels reach a certain speed, the ABS enters the pressure rise
phase and starts the next cycle.
Note: The ABS's pressure adjusting frequency is generally 2 to 4 cycles per second.

4. EBD working process
The EBD comes into effect when the wheel brakes are lightly applied. The wheel speed sensor detects the speed
of the wheels, and the ECU calculates the speed. If the rear wheel's slip ratio increases, adjust the brake pressure
to maintain or reduce the rear wheel's braking force. The EBD guarantees the rear wheel's lateral force and even
brake force distribution. If the ABS fails to respond, the electronic brake distribution system can still adjust the
rear wheel's braking force to guarantee the rear wheels do not lock before the front wheels, in order to ensure
vehicle safety.
The EBD's working process for lifting and holding pressure is completely the same as it of the ABS working
process. However, the process for lowering pressure is quite different. When the rear wheel has a tendency to
lock up, the normally open valve of the rear wheel closes, the normally closed valve opens, and the rear wheel
pressure reduces. The difference with ABS is that the hydraulic pump does not operate at this time, and the brake
fluid released during depressurization is temporarily stored in the low pressure accumulator. After braking,the brake
pedal is loosened, and the brake pressure inside the pump drops to zero. Open the normally closed valve one more
time at this point. The brake fluid inside the low pressure accumulator returns to the pump by passing through the
normally closed valve and normally open valve. Empty the low pressure ac\
cumulator to prepare for the next brake.
ABS installation
1. Install the ABS controller assembly.
(a) Use three hexagon bolts for flange face (Q1840825) to
fix the ABS bracket assembly onto the vehicle body.
(b) Fix the shock pad of the ABS hydraulic pump onto the
mounting holes of the ABS bracket assembly.
(c) Insert the mount pin of the ABS controller assembly
into the shock pad holes by simply inserting the two
anchor pins into the bracket.
2. Install the ABS front wheel speed sensor with bracket
assembly.
(a) Use a hexagon head bolt, spring washer, and flat
washer subassembly to connect the sensor and the
steering knuckle.
(b) Use a hexagon head bolt and a flat washer subassembly
(M8) to connect the sensor bracket and the damper.
(c) Use a hexagon head bolt and a flat washer subassembly
(M6) to connect the sensor bracket and vehicle body.
