Normal Braking Mode

Normal Braking Mode:

During normal braking, pressure is applied through the brake pedal. Fluid comes from the master cylinder, through the combination valve and into the Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV). The fluid travels through the normally-open isolation cartridge, past the normally-closed dump cartridge and out into the brakes.

During normal braking, the pump is not turned on.The low pressure accumulators and attenuators are empty with only residual pressure stored in them.

Even though the Antilock Brake System (ABS) is passive curing normal braking, the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) constantly monitors wheel sensor inputs for rapid deceleration. If the Antilock Brake System becomes disabled for any reason, the driver will always have foundation brakes. The normally-open ISO cartridge and normally-closed dump cartridge will remain in these positions to allow normal fluid pressure to the wheels.
