3. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
(1) Electronic system service precautions
Take care to avoid electronic brake control module (HECU) circuit overloading. In testing for
opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any circuit unless instructed to do so by the
diagnostic procedure. Test circuits only with a high-impedance multi-meter. Never remove o
r
apply power to any control module with the ignition switch in the ON position. Always turn the
ignition to the OFF position before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or connectors.
(2) General service precautions
Disconnect the HECU connector before performing any vehicle welding work using an electric
arc welder. Do not attempt to disassemble any component designated as nonserviceable. The
hydraulic modulator and the HECU can be seperated. (There is however no access to repai
r
the each components.)
(3) Bleeding system
Replacement modulators are shipped already filled and bled. In normal procedures requiring
removal of the modulator, such as to replace the HECU, air will not enter the modulator, and
normal bleeding will be all that is needed.
If air enters the hydraulic modulator, or if an unfilled modulator is installed, use the brake
bleeding program in the scan tool to bleed the modulator. Manual bleeding of the hydraulic
modulator is not possible.
1) Service Precautions
Brake Fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water.
Skin contact - wash with soap and water.
Ingestion - consult a physician immediately. -
-
-
To help avoid personal injury due to poor braking. DO NOT Tap into the vehicle’s
brake system to operate a trailer brake system.
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener
for is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may be used.
Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound will be
called out. The correct torque values must be used when installing fasteners that require
them. If the above procedures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

Use only DOT-3 equivalent hydraulic brake fluid. The use of DOT-5 (silicone) brake fluid is
not recommended. Reduced brake performance or durability may result.
Avoid spilling brake fluid on any the vehicle’s painted surfaces, wiring, cables or
electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid is
spilled on the vehicle, flush the area with water to lessen the damage.

1. COMPONENTS AND LOCATION
Newly introduced ABS has a different shape of integrated hydraulic modulator and HECU
(Hydraulic and Electronic Control Unit) compared to existing ABS. And, the wheel speed senso
r
uses different method to detect wheel speed. The basic function of the ABS that maintains the
vehicle stability by controlling the steerability of the vehicle when braking has not been
changed.

3. ABS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) EBD (ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION) SYSTEM
(1) System Description
As an add-on logic to the ABS base algorithm, EBD works in a range in which the intervention
thresholds for ABS control can not be reached. EBD ensures that the rear wheels are
sensitively monitored for slip with respect to the front axle. If slip is detected, the inlet valves fo
r
the rear wheels are switched to pressure hold to prevent a further increase in pressure at the
rear-wheel breaks, thus electronically reproducing a pressure-reduction function at the rear-
wheel brakes. ABS features an enhanced algorithm which includes control of the brake force
distribution between the front and rear axles. This is called Electronic Brake Distribution. In an
unloading car condition the brake efficiency is comparable to the conventional system but for a
fully loaden vehicle the efficiency of the EBD system is higher due to the better use of rear axle
braking capability.
(2) The Benefits of EBD
Elimination of conventional proportioning valve EBD utilizes the existing rear axle wheel
speed sensor to monitor rear wheel slip.
Based on many variables in algorithm a pressure hold, increase and/or decrease pulsetrain
may be triggered at the rear wheels insuring vehicle stability.
Vehicle approaches the ideal brake force distribution (front to rear).
Constant brake force distribution during vehicle lifetime.
EBD function is monitored via ABS safety logic (conventional proportioning valves are not
monitorable).

Service precautions ▶
Observe the following general precautions during any ABS/TCS service. Failure to adhere to
these precautions may result in ABS/TCS system damage.
Disconnect the EBCM harness connector before performing the electric welding procedures.
Carefully note the routing of the ABS/TCS wiring and wiring components during removal.
The ABS/ TCS components are extremely sensitive to EMI (eletromagnetic interference).
Proper mounting is critical during component service.
Disconnect the EBCM connector with the ignition OFF.
Do not hang the suspension components from the wheel speed sensor cables. The cables
may be damaged.
Do not use petroleum based fluids in the master cylinder. Do not use any containers
previously used for petroleum based fluids. Petroleum causes swelling and distortion of the
rubber components in the hydraulic brake system, resulting in water entering the system
and lowering the fluid boiling point. 1.

2) HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
(1) Hydraulic Circuit of ABS
The vehicle equipped only with the ABS controls the wheel’s braking force using three 3-
channel 4-sensor method. The front wheels that are the primary circuit of the brake system is
composed of two wheel speed sensors and two channel valves system with two inlet valves
and two outlet valves. The rear wheels that are the secondary circuit of the brake system is
composed of two wheel speed sensors, one inlet valve and one outlet valve. This system is
similar to the one from the previous model.

(2) ABS Circuit Per ABS Operation Range
Hydraulic Pressure Circuit when ABS is Not Operating ▶
No Hydraulic Pressure Circuit when ABS is Operating ▶
The hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder increases through the vacuum booster and it is
delivered to the wheel via the normal open inlet valve. At this moment, the normally-closed
outlet valve is closed. The speed of the wheel that hydraulic pressure is delivered reduces
gradually
As hydraulic pressure on each wheel increases, the wheel tends to lock. In order to prevent the
wheel from locking, the hydraulic valve modulator operates the inlet valve control solenoid to
close the inlet valve and stop the hydraulic pressure increases. At this moment, the outlet valve
is closed. This procedure helps the wheel to maintain a stable hydraulic pressure.
