Valve Operation [VDC Function, TCS Function And Brake Limited Slip Differential (BLSD) Function: Notes

The control unit built in the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) controls fluid pressure of the brake calipers, respectively, by operating each valve.

Each brake caliper (fluid pressure)	-	Pressure increases

During pressure front RH brake caliper increases

Brake fluid is conveyed to the pump from the master cylinder through suction valve 2 and is pressurized by the pump operation. The pressurized brake fluid is supplied to the front RH brake caliper through the ABS IN valve. For the left caliper, brake fluid pressure is maintained because the pressurization is unnecessary. The pressurization for the left caliper is controlled separately from the right caliper.

During pressure front LH brake caliper increases

Brake fluid is conveyed to the pump from the master cylinder through suction valve 1 and is pressurized by the pump operation. The pressurized brake fluid is supplied to the front LH brake caliper through the ABS IN valve. For the right caliper, brake fluid pressure is maintained because the pressurization is unnecessary. The pressurization for the right caliper is controlled separately from the left caliper.

During pressure rear RH brake caliper increases

Brake fluid is conveyed to the pump from the master cylinder through suction valve 1 and is pressurized by the pump operation. The pressurized brake fluid is supplied to the rear RH brake caliper through the ABS IN valve. For the left caliper, brake fluid pressure is maintained because the pressurization is unnecessary. The pressurization for the left caliper is controlled separately from the right caliper.

During pressure rear LH brake caliper increases

Brake fluid is conveyed to the pump from the master cylinder through suction valve 2 and is pressurized by the pump operation. The pressurized brake fluid is supplied to the rear LH brake caliper through the ABS IN valve. For the right caliper, brake fluid pressure is maintained because the pressurization is unnecessary. The pressurization for the right caliper is controlled separately from the left caliper.

Each brake caliper (fluid pressure)	-	Pressure holds

During pressure front RH brake caliper holds

Since the cut valve 2 and the suction valve 2 are closed, the front RH brake caliper, master cylinder, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the front RH brake caliper. The pressurization for the left caliper is controlled separately from the right caliper.

During pressure front LH brake caliper holds

Since the cut valve 1 and the suction valve 1 are closed, the front LH brake caliper, master cylinder, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the front LH brake caliper. The pressurization for the right caliper is controlled separately from the left caliper.

During pressure rear RH brake caliper holds

Since the cut valve 1 and the suction valve 1 are closed, the rear RH brake caliper, master cylinder, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the rear RH brake caliper. The pressurization for the left caliper is controlled separately from the right caliper.

Since the cut valve 2 and the suction valve 2 are closed, the rear LH brake caliper, master cylinder, and reservoir are blocked. This maintains fluid pressure applied on the rear LH brake caliper. The pressurization for the right caliper is controlled separately from the left caliper.

Each brake caliper (fluid pressure)	-	Pressure decreases

During pressure front RH brake caliper decreases

Since the suction valve 2 and the ABS OUT valve close and the cut valve 2 and the ABS IN valve open, the fluid pressure applied on the front RH brake caliper is reduced by supplying the fluid pressure to the master cylinder via the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 2. The pressurization for the right caliper is controlled separately from the left caliper.

During pressure front LH brake caliper decreases

Since the suction valve 1 and the ABS OUT valve close and the cut valve 1 and the ABS IN valve open, the fluid pressure applied on the front LH brake caliper is reduced by supplying the fluid pressure to the master cylinder via the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 2. The pressurization for the left caliper is controlled separately from the right caliper.

During pressure rear RH brake caliper decreases

Since the suction valve 1 and the ABS OUT valve close and the cut valve 1 and the ABS IN valve open, the fluid pressure applied on the rear RH brake caliper is reduced by supplying the fluid pressure to the master cylinder via the ABS IN valve and the cut valve 2. The pressurization for the right caliper is controlled separately from the left caliper.
