ABS Actuator And Electric Unit (Control Unit)

COMPONENT PARTS

ABS Actuator and Electric Unit (Control Unit)






Electric unit (control unit) is integrated with actuator and comprehensively controls VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function.

ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT)

- Brake fluid pressure and traction motor are controlled according to signals from each sensor.
- If malfunction is detected, the system enters fail-safe mode.

ACTUATOR

The following components are integrated with ABS actuator.
Pump
- Pressurized brake fluid from electrically-driven intelligent brake unit is supplied to each caliper.
- Returns the brake fluid reserved in reservoir to electrically-driven intelligent brake unit by reducing pressure.
Motor
Activates the pump according to signals from control unit part.
Motor Relay
Operates the motor ON/OFF according to signals from control unit part.
Actuator Relay (Main Relay)
Operates each valve ON/OFF according to signals from control unit part.
ABS IN Valve
Switches the fluid pressure line to increase or hold according to signals from control unit part.
NOTE:
Valve is a solenoid valve.
ABS OUT Valve
Switches the fluid pressure line to increase, hold or decrease according to signals from control unit part.
NOTE:
Valve is a solenoid valve.
Cut Valve 1, Cut Valve2
Shuts off the ordinary brake line from electrically-driven intelligent brake unit, when VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function are activated.
Suction Valve 1, Suction Valve 2
Supplies the brake fluid from electrically-driven intelligent brake unit to the pump, when VDC function, TCS
function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function are activated.
Inlet Valve
Brake fluid sucked from the reservoir by the pump does not backflow.
NOTE:
Valve is a check valve.
Outlet Valve
Brake fluid discharged from the pump does not backflow.
NOTE:
Valve is a check valve.
Return Check Valve
Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper to electrically-driven intelligent brake unit 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.
