Overview Return for ABS regulation
This document contains information on: Front axle and rear axle switchover valves
General The switchover valves block the active high-pressure circuit in each case
Function during ASR and ESP® control interventions against the master brake
General cylinder. They are designed simultaneously as pressure limiting valves
The traction system hydraulic unit contains the switching components for and open at pressures above 150 bar. The brake fluid flowing away via
the following vehicle dynamics control systems: the switchover valves is routed back to the master brake cylinder.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) Suction ball valves for front axle and rear axle
Acceleration slip regulation (ASR) The suction ball valves are opened during an ASR or ESP® pressure
Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) buildup phase. They allow brake fluid to flow from the hydraulic fluid
reservoir through the high-pressure and return flow pump into the

corresponding brake calipers.
Traction system hydraulic unit
Pressure regulating valve, hold pressure
The functions of the following components in the hydraulic unit traction
For pressure control, one 2/2-way valve is used for each wheel for the
system are individually described:
functions of pressure buildup and holding pressure in the ABS, ASR and
High pressure and return pump ESP® control mode.
Front axle and rear axle switchover valves The pressure regulating valves are open deenergized. If the ABS function
Suction ball valves for front axle and rear axle fails, the driver can build up brake pressure in the system using pedal
Pressure regulating valves, hold pressure force which affects the master brake cylinder via the brake pedal.
Pressure regulating valves, reduce pressure Pressure regulating valve, reduce pressure
Front axle brake pressure sensor For pressure control, one 2/2-way valve is used for each wheel for the
Front pressure sensor functions of pressure holding and pressure reduction in the ABS, ASR and
Diaphragm pulsation damper ESP® control mode.
Low pressure reservoir The pressure regulating valves are closed deenergized. This occurs, for
High pressure and return pump example, during an ABS braking procedure, when a wheel shows a
The self-priming high-pressure and return flow pump integrated into the tendency to lock.
traction system hydraulic unit has the following tasks: The pressure regulating valves, reduce pressure are not actuated in
Pressure buildup and release for ASR and ESP® regulations closed condition.
Front axle brake pressure sensor
The front axle brake pressure sensor measures the set brake pressure
(master brake cylinder pressure) as required by the driver.
Front and rear pressure sensor
The pressure sensors have the following tasks:
Record pressure in the front and rear brake circuit
Regulate brake pressure delicately during braking procedure
Detect leakage in HOLD operation
Diaphragm pulsation damper
In order to reduce the movement noise and dampen a pulsing brake
pedal, diaphragm pulsation dampers are installed for each brake circuit.

The low pressure reservoirs take up the brake fluid during the ABS/ASR or
ESP® depressurization phase and supply it to the high pressure/return
flow pump.
