3) HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist System)
(1) Purpose
HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist) system helps in an emergency braking situation when the driver applies
the brake fast, but not with sufficient pressure, which leads to dangerously long braking distance. ECU
recognizes the attempt at full braking and transmits the signal calling for full brake pressure from the
hydraulic booster. An inexperienced, elderly or physically weak driver may suffer from the accident by
not fully pressing the brake pedal when hard braking is required
under emergency. The HBA System increases the braking force under urgent situations to enhance
the inputted braking force from the driver.
Based on the fact that some drivers depress the brake pedal too soft even under when hard braking is
necessary, the HECU system is a safety supplementary system that builds high braking force during
initial braking according to pressure value of the brake pressure sensor and the pressure changes of
the pressure sensor intervals.
When the system is designed to apply high braking force when brake pedal is depressed softly by an
elderly or physically weak driver, the vehicle will make abrupt stopping under normal braking situation
due to high braking pressure at each wheels.

(2) Operation
The brake pressure value and the changed value of the pressure sensor are the conditions in which
the HBA System operates. There are 2 pressure sensors under the master cylinder. When the ESP
ECU system determines that emergency braking is present, the pump operates, the brake fluid in the
master cylinder is sent to the pump and the braking pressure is delivered to the wheels via the inlet
valves.
If the drive depress the brake pedal slowly, the pressure change is not high. In this case, only the
conventional brake system with booster is activated.

4) ARP (Active Roll-Over Protection)
The ARP (Active Roll-over Protection) system is a safety assistant device that minimizes, by controlling
brakes and the engine, the physical tendency of the vehicle rollover during sharp lane changes or U-
turns. For the system, software is added to the existing ESP system and no additional device or switch
is needed. One must note that the ARP system, just as general assistant devices including the ABS, is
only a safety assistant device using the ESP system and its function is useless when the situation
overcomes the physical power. Following picture shows how the ARP compensates the vehicle
position by varying each wheel's braking power to overcome the physical tendency of the vehicle
rollover during sharp turns.
The vehicle driving condition is controlled by the internally programmed logic according to the input
signals from wheel speed sensor, steering angle sensor and lateral sensor.

4. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
When equipped with ABS, the braking force at each wheel will be controlled with 3-channel 4-sensor
method. And when equipped with ESP, 4 wheels will be controlled independently with 4-channel
method. (When controlling ABS system only, it will be operated with 3-channel method.) When
compared to the vehicle equipped with ABS/EBD only, the internal hydraulic circuit has a normally-open
separation valve and a shuttle valve in primary circuit and in secondary circuit. When the vehicle brakes
are not applied during engine running or when applying the non-ABS operating brakes, the normally-
open separation valve and the inlet valve are open, whereas the normally-closed shuttle valve and the
outlet valve are closed. When the ESP system is operating, the normally-open separation valve will be
closed by the solenoid valve operation and the hydraulic circuit will be established by the shuttle valve.
Then, the inlet and outlet valves will be
closed or open depending on the braking pressure increase, decrease or unchanged conditions.

1) Hydraulic Circuit Diagram
When the ESP operates during vehicle movement, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument panel
flickers and beep comes on every 0.1 second. The ESP operation shows that the vehicle stability is
extremely unstable and it is used to warn the driver. The ESP system is just a supplementary system
for the vehicle motion and it cannot control the vehicle when it exceeds the physical limits. Do not
solely rely on the system but be advised to drive the vehicle safely.
When the ESP system activates, the driving feeling can be different depending on vehicle driving
conditions. For example, you will feel differently when the ESP system is activated during when ABS
is operating with the brakes applied and when brakes are not applied on a curve. Thus, the ESP
system would make the driver feel more abruptly when the brakes are applied during the ESP
system activation.
The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to the driver due to the pressure changes caused
by the motor and valve operations in a very short period of time. Extreme cornering will trigger the
ESP operation and this will make the driver feel noise and vibration due to sudden brake application.
Also, the ESP system controls the engine output. So, the driver may notice the engine output
decrease even when the accelerator pedal is being applied.

valve operation and the hydraulic circuit will be established by the shuttle valve. Then, the inlet and
outlet valves will be closed or open depending on the braking pressure RISE, HOLD or DUMP
conditions.

1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
When braking suddenly or braking on slippery roads, the vehicle keeps moving forward but the wheels
are locking and not rotating. If these happen, the vehicle may lose stability or rotate resulting in an
accident. ABS helps to maintain directional stability and control of the vehicle. ABS is designed to
secure more safety and increase the control of steering wheel during emergency braking situation.
But, ABS does not guarantee perfect safety beyond its physical limit. ABS in this vehicle contains EBD
function. In normal driving conditions, the brake system operates without ABS function.
1) Basic Theory of ABS Function
To give you a better understanding of the tasks and functions of ABS, we will first look at the physics
principles.
▶Stopping distance
The stopping distance depends on the vehicle weight and initial speed when braking starts. This also
applies for vehicle with ABS, where ABS always tries to set an optimum brake force on each wheel. As
great forces are exerted between the tires and the carriageway when braking, even with ABS the
wheels may scream and rubber is left on the road. With an ABS skid mark one may be able to clearly
recognize the tire profile. The skid mark of an ABS vehicle does not however leave any hint of the
speed of the vehicle in the case of an accident, as it can only be clearly drawn at the start of braking.
▶Brake force on a wheel
The maximum possible brake force on a wheel depends on the wheel load and the adhesion
coefficient between tire and carriageway. With a low adhesion coefficient the brake force, which can be
obtained is very low. You are bound to know the result already from driving on winter roads. With a
high adhesion coefficient on a dry road, the brake force, which can be obtained, is considerably higher.
The brake force, which can be obtained, can be calculated from below formula:

2) EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) System
▶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 are not reached yet.
EBD ensures that the rear wheels are sensitively monitored for slip with respect to the front axle. If slip
is detected, the inlet valves for 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 loaded vehicle the efficiency of the
EBD system is higher due to the better use of rear axle braking capability.
▶Advantages
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). -

3) Important Notice
The modulators for production line are not filled with the brake fluid (dry type). But, for after service, they
are filled with the brake fluid (wet type).
Make sure to keep the procedures in service manual when bleeding the air from the brake lines.
Be familiar with the lamp ON conditions to provide the correct information and reliability to customers.
ECU monitors the valve and motor for ABS when the vehicle speed approaches 5 km/h. At this time,
you can hear the clattering noise. 1.

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.
