Hydraulic System Overview/Operation Traction Control Phase

ASC+T Hydraulic Operation

The inclusion of the ASC+T function to the Teves Mark IV ABS system is done quite simply by modifying the existing ABS components and utilizing them to achieve stability control. One such modification of the system is the addition of a separator valve to the hydraulic unit. The separator valve isolates the brake master cylinder from the hydraulic unit when in ASC+T regulation.





Normal Operation (ASC+T Not Active)

As with the Teves ABS system, all solenoid valves are de-energized for normal braking operation. Normal vehicle braking can take place, as the inlet valves are normally open and the outlet valves are normally closed.

1. The separator valve is open.
2. The inlet valves are open.
3. The outlet valves are closed.
