< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[VDC/TCS/ABS]
COMPONENT PARTS
Suction Valve 1, Suction Valve 2
Supplies the brake fluid from master cylinder to t
he pump, when VDC function and TCS function are activated.
Return Check Valve
Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper and wheel cy linder to master cylinder 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 and wheel cylinder.
Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor
Calculates the following information that affects the vehicle, and transmits a signal to ABS actuator and elec-
tric unit (control unit) via communication lines.
• 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).
Wheel Sensor and Sensor RotorINFOID:0000000009463744
NOTE:
• Wheel sensor of front wheel is installed on steering knuckle.
• Sensor rotor of front wheel is integrated in wheel hub assembly.
• Wheel sensor of rear wheel is installed on back plate of rear brake.
• Sensor rotor of rear wheel is installed on rear brake drum.
• Never measure resistance and voltage value using a tester because sensor is active sensor.
• Downsize and weight reduction is aimed. IC for detection portion and magnet for sensor rotor are adopted.
• Power supply is supplied to detection portion so that magnetic field line is read. Magnetic field that is detected is converted to current
signal.
• When sensor rotor rotates, magnetic field changes. Magnetic field change is converted to current signals (rectangular wave) and is
transmitted to ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit). Change
of magnetic field is proportional to wheel speed.
Stop Lamp SwitchINFOID:0000000009463745
Detects the operation status of brake pedal and transmits converted electric signal to ABS actuator and elec-
tric unit (control unit).
Steering Angle SensorINFOID:0000000009463746
Detects the following information and transmits steering angl e signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) via CAN communication.
• Steering wheel rotation amount
• Steering wheel rotation angular velocity
• Steering wheel rotation direction
Brake Fluid Level SwitchINFOID:0000000009463747
Detects the brake fluid level in reservoir tank and transmi ts converted electric signal from combination meter to
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
Vacuum SensorINFOID:0000000009463748
Detects the vacuum in brake booster and transmits conver ted electric signal to ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).

If ABS warning lamp and SLIP indicator
lamp turn ON, perform self-diagnosis.
NOTE:
• 1: The ABS does not operate when the speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less.
• 2: Under the following conditions, ABS is activated and vibration is felt when brake pedal is lightly depressed (just place a foot on it).
However, this is normal.
- When shifting gears
- When driving on slippery road
- During cornering at high speed
- When passing over bumps or grooves [approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) or more]
- When pulling away just after starting engine [at approximately 10 km/h (6 MPH) or higher] Symptom Check item Reference
