VEMO V70-73-0090 Control Unit, brake / driving dynamics

The term “Break Control Unit” likely refers to two interrelated parts in your Toyota’s braking system:

1. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Control Module: This is the electronic brain of the ABS system. It receives signals from wheel speed sensors, interprets them, and tells the ABS pump how to adjust brake pressure at each wheel to prevent locking during hard braking.

2. Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM): In some Toyota models, the ABS control module might be integrated with a broader Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). This EBCM would not only manage the ABS but also other electronic brake functions like traction control or electronic brake-force distribution.

Here’s a quick breakdown of both:

• Focus:
  • ABS Control Module: Manages Anti-lock Braking System
  • EBCM (if applicable): Manages ABS and other electronic brake functions
• Components:
  • Both rely on wheel speed sensors and communication with the ABS pump.
  • The EBCM might have additional connections to other electronic brake control systems.
• Function:
  • Both prevent wheel lockup during braking and improve overall braking performance.

In essence:

• The “Break” (with a typo) Control Unit likely refers to the ABS control module or, in some cases, the EBCM.
• It’s an electronic unit that manages the ABS system and ensures optimal braking performance.
