Main component parts

Solenoid valve
• The solenoid valves control the fluid pressure at individual brake calipers in accordance with the signal received from the ABS CM.
• There are eight solenoid valves in total and in each wheel two solenoid valves (one for retaining pressure and one for reducing pressure) are used. There are four valves for the front wheels, and the left and right wheels are controlled separately. There are four valves used to control the rear wheels simultaneously.
Reservoir
• The reservoirs temporarily store the hydraulic pressure which flows from the brake caliper through the outlet solenoid valve during pressure reduction.
Pump
• The pump returns brake fluid from the reservoir to the master cylinder.

Operation

• The ABS HU/CM controls ABS by calculating wheel slip from ABS wheel-speed sensor signals, and adjusting the brake pressure.
