Brake System

By: Katiuska Vidal Talledo

ABS System
Normal operation when in conventional mode (if warning
light, disables ABS)
Heavy braking causes hydraulic pressure modulation (Pedal
Feel)
Integrated System (Combined parts)227C
Non-Integrated System (Separate Parts)
ABS operates independently of base system
Component ABS System
Inputs and Outputs (228C)
Some ABS ECUs have dual boards
Controls HCU
Full Diagnostics
Controls Warning Lights
Can control each wheel brake
independently. (four channel) Most
are three channel

mode of operation
both solenoids are
closed and no

allowed to flow to
brake calipers.

During Pressure Vent
mode the pressure

closed. The Vent solenoid
opens allowing fluid to
vent into an accumulator
chamber
Disk Brake System
Disc brakes are fairly simple to work with,
once you know the parts and their functions.
Typically, there are 4 main parts of a system:

Mounting Bracket
Rotor
Caliper
Pads

Rotors are metal discs supported by the
suspension. The Calipers clamp on to them to
slow their rotation, and then slow or stop the
car

Vented Rotors have Fins in the spaces between
their machined surfaces. These spaces allow air
to pass through, which helps carry heat away.

Non Vented Rotors are used on smaller
vehicles, and have no cooling fins


Components of Disk Brake System

Caliper
Rotor
Piston

Pads
Brake
Line
Piston applies pressure to Inboard
pad. As the pad contacts the rotor,
the caliper slides along the pins,
pulling the outboard pad into
contact.
Drum Brake System
Drum fits over
wheel hub or
drive flange.
The drum provides a friction
surface for the brake linings. It
also dissipates heat, and can
support wheel bearings
or road wheel.
Drums sometimes
have fins to aid
cooling.
