1. General
The brake booster is a device that utilizes the difference between the engine vacuum and the atmospheric pressure to generate a strong force (power boost) that is proportional to the pedal Read more What is a Brake Booster ?

Tandem Brake Booster
A tandem brake booster is a device that has two vacuum chambers positioned in series and obtains a large power boost without having to increase the piston’s size.
1. Brakes not applied
The air valve Read more Tandem Brake Booster
Reaction mechanism of Brake Pedal
1. General
This mechanism is provided to reduce brake pedal kickback, thereby improving pedal “feel”, by causing only half of the feedback pressure to be applied to the pedal (the other half being Read more Reaction mechanism of Brake Pedal
Function Check of Brake Booster
The brake booster utilizes the difference between the engine vacuum and the atmospheric pressure to generate a power boost. Therefore, the brake booster function can be checked by conducting the following Read more Function Check of Brake Booster
Types of P Valve
1. Dual P Valve
The dual P valve is used in diagonal brake piping in FF vehicles. Basically, it may be considered as a pair of P valves operating side by side. Each of the two P valves operates Read more Types of P Valve
ABS with EBD
The EBD control utilizes ABS, helping realize the proper brake force distribution between front and rear wheels in accordance with the driving conditions. In addition, during cornering braking, it also Read more ABS with EBD
BA (Brake Assist)
Sometimes people who are not used to driving or people who panic easily even if they are used to driving do not step down hard enough on the brake pedal during emergency braking to realize the full performance Read more BA (Brake Assist)
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control system) Overview
While the ABS and TRC are mainly used to stabilize brake operation and accelerator operation during braking and acceleration, the VSC ensures the gsteering and direction stabilityh of the vehicle. The Read more VSC (Vehicle Stability Control system) Overview
Skid Control ECU
1. TRC control
The hydraulic pressure that is generated by the pump is regulated by the master cylinder cut solenoid valve to the required pressure. Thus, the wheel cylinder of the drive wheels is controlled Read more Skid Control ECU
TheTRC and VSC Brake Actuator 2 of 2
2. Pressure increase (High pressure)
In contrast to the time when the pressure is low, when the pressure is high, the booster pressure that is applied to the rubber reaction disc increases. Accordingly, Read more TheTRC and VSC Brake Actuator 2 of 2
