COMBINATION VALVE/P & B
(PROPORTIONING AND BYPASS) VALVE
The combination valve/P & B valve contains two
sections, each serving a different function.
The proportioning section
of the combination valve/
P & B valve proportions outlet pressure to the rear
brakes after a predetermined rear
input pressure has
been reached. This is done to prevent rear
wheel lock­
up on the vehicles with light rear wheel loads.
The valve has a By-pass feature which assures full
system pressure to the rear brakes in the event of a
front brake system malfunction, also full front pressure
is retained in the event
of rear brake malfunction.
HYDRAULIC BRAKES 5A 9
The combination valve has a pressure differential
warning switch which is designed to constantly
compare front and rear brake pressure
from the
master
cylinder and turn on the brake system warning
light on the instrument panel in the event of a front or
rear system malfunction. The valve and switch are so
designed that the switch
will latch in the "warning"
position once a malfunction has occurred. The only
way the light can be turned off is to repair the
malfunction and
apply a pedal force required to
develop line pressure. The combination valve/P & B
valve is not repairable and must be replaced as a
complete assembly.

ANTILOCK (ISOLATION/DUMP) VALVE
The antilock (dual solenoid hydraulic) valve is located
between the rear brakes and the combination valve
and is attached on the
front right side of engine room.
The valve contains
an isolation valve, dump valve and
an accumulator and is electrically connected to the
electronic control module.
The normal positions
for the antilock valve com­
ponents are
as follows;
1. Isolation valve is normally open (flow through
under normal braking).
2. Dump valve is normally closed.
3. Accumulator is empty.
Once the rear wheel antilock is activated, the EBCM
closes the isolation valve. If closing of the isolation
valve is insufficient to prevent wheel lock, the
EBCM
will open the dump valve to allow some rear brake fluid
into the accumulator, thus reducing brake pressure.
The
EBCM will continue to monitor wheel deceleration,
and
if it is still excessive will cause the antilock valve to
dump fluid to the accumulator again. This process will
be repeated until the appropriate wheel speed
correction is calculated by the
EBCM.
When the brake pedal is released, the isolation valve
de-energizes and any fluid in the accumulator is
returned to the master cylinder.
Normal brake operation is resumed.

4-WHEEL ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 5A4-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Antilock Brake System (ASS) works on all four
wheels. A combination of wheel speed sensor and
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) can
determine
when a wheel is about to stop turning
and adjust brake pressure to maintain best braking.
This system
helps the driver maintain greater
control of the vehicle under heavy braking
conditions.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Antilock Brake System consists of a Hydraulic
Unit, Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), four
Wheel Speed Sensors, Warning Light, and G­
sensor.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE
(EBCM)
The EBCM consists of ABS control circuits, fault
detector, and a fail-safe. It drives the hydraulic unit
according to the signal from each sensor,
cancelling ABS to return to normal braking when a
malfunction has occurred in the ABS.
The EBCM is self-diagnosing function can indicate
faulty circuits during diagnosis.
'--" HYDRAULIC UNIT
The hydraulic unit is mounted on the engine room
front right side. It consists of a Motor, Plunger
Pump, Solenoid Valves and Check Valve. On
the
outside, the relay box containing a motor
relay and a valve relay is installed.
Solenoid Valves;
Reduces or holds the calip~r fluid
pressure for each front disc brake or both rear disc
brakes according
to the signal sent from the EBCM.
Reservoir;
Temporarily holds the brake fluid that
returns from the front and rear disc brake caliper so
that pressure of front disc brake caliper can be
reduced
smoothly.
Plunger
Pump; Feeds the brake fluid held in the
reservoir
to the master cylinder.
Motor; Drives the pump according to the signal
from EBCM.
Check
Valve; Controls the brake fluid flow.

5A4-4 4-WHEEL ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS WARNING LIGHT
Vehicles equipped with the Antilock Brake System
have an
amber "ABS" warning light in the
instrument panel. The "ABS" warning light will
illuminate if a malfunction in the Antilock Brake
System is detected by the Electronic Brake
Control
Module (EBCM). In case of an electronic
malfunction, the EBCM will turn "ON" the "ABS"
warning light and disable the Antilock braking
function.
The
"ABS" light will turn "ON" during engine
starting and
will usually stay "ON" for
approximately three seconds after the ignition
switch is returned to the "ON" position.
If the "ABS" light stays "ON" after engine start-up,
or comes "ON" and stays "ON" while driving, the
Antilock Brake System should be inspected
for a
malfunction according to the diagnosis procedure.
Fig. 5A4-2
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is
attached
to the knuckle on the front wheels and to
the axle shaft bearing holder on the rear wheels.
The
rotor is press-fit in the axle shaft.
The
flux generated from electrodes magnetized by
a magnet in the sensor varies due to rotation of the
rotor, and the electromagnetic
induction generates
alternating voltage in
the coil. This voltage draws a
"sine curve" with the frequency proportional to
rotor speed and it allows detection of wheel speed.
G-SENSOR
The G-sensor installed inside the center console
detects the vehicle deceleration speed and sends a
signal
to the EBCM. It is normally on, and is turned
off when the vehicle deceleration speed exceeds
about 0.35G.
In 4WD operation, all four wheels may
be decelerated in almost the same phase, since all
wheels are connected mechanically. This tendency
is noticeable particularly on roads
with low friction
coefficient, and the
ABS control is adversely
affected. The
G-sensor judges
whether the friction coefficient
of road surface is low or high, and changes the
EBCM's operating system to ensure ABS control.
NORMAL AND ANTILOCK BRAKING
Under normal driving conditions, the Antilock Brake
System functions the same
as a standard power
assisted brake system. However, with the detection
of wheel lock-up, a slight bump or kick-back will be
felt in the brake pedal. This pedal
"bump" will be
followed by a series of short pedal pulsations which
occurs in rapid succession. The brake pedal
pulsation
will continue until there is no longer a
need
for the antilock function or until the vehicle is
stopped. A
slight ticking or popping noise may be
heard
during brake applications when the Antilock
features is being used.
When the
Antilock feature is being used, the brake
pedal
may rise even as the brakes are being
applied. This is also
normal. Maintaining a
constant force on the pedal
will provide the shortest
stopping distance.
BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
Vehicles equipped with the Antilock Brake System
may be stopped by applying normal force to the
brake pedal.
Although there is no need to push the
pedal beyond the
point where it stops or holds the ~
vehicle, by applying more force the pedal will
continue to travel toward the floor.
This extra brake pedal travel is normal.
