ABS SYSTEM
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.

ABS SYSTEM
Pressure Decreases in the Circuit when ABS is Operating ▶
Pressure Increases in the Circuit when ABS is Operating ▶
Even when the hydraulic pressure on each circuit is stable, the wheel can be locked as the
wheel speed decreases. This is when the ABS ECU detects the wheel speed and the vehicle
speed and gives the optimized braking without locking the wheels. In order to prevent from
hydraulic pressure increases, the inlet valve is closed and the outlet valve is opened. Also, the
oil is sent to the low pressure changer and the wheel speed increases again. The ABS ECU
operates the pump to circulate the oil in the low pressure chamber to the master cylinder. This
may make the driver to feel the brake pedal vibration and some noises.
As the wheel speed increases, the inlet valve opens and the wheel’s pressure increases
due to the master cylinder pressure. The oil in the low pressure chamber circulates to the wheel
by the pump and the wheel speed decreases as the hydraulic pressure at wheel increases. This
operation continues repetitively until there are no signs that the ECU is locking the wheels.
When the ABS hydraulic pressure control takes place, there may be some vibration and noises
at the brake pedal.
