proportional to the rotation speeds of each wheel to the
ABS/active stability control system-ECU.
Stop lamp switch 2 Sends a signal to the ABS/active stability control
system-ECU to indicate whether the brake pedal is
depressed or not.
G and yaw rate sensor 3 Detects the lateral acceleration and the yaw rate for the
vehicle. Then it sends a signal through the CAN bus line to
the ABS/active stability control system-ECU.
Steering wheel sensor 4 Detects the steering wheel angle, and sends a signal to
the ABS/active stability control system-ECU through the
CAN bus line.
Pressure sensor 5 Is incorporated in the hydraulic unit, and informs the
ABS/active stability control system-ECU of the brake fluid
pressure in the master cylinder.
Actuator Hydraulic unit 6 Drives the solenoid valves and pamp motor according to
signals from the ABS/active stability control system-ECU
in order to control the brake hydraulic pressure for each
