To accomplish this function, the system regulates hydraulic brake line pressure by using an Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) module. This control module has two types of valves. Isolation valves which maintain pressure to each front wheel separately and rear wheels combined. Dump valves which dump pressure to each front wheel separately and rear wheels combined. These valves are controlled by a microcomputer which is part of the EHCU module. During a severe brak...
