Vehicle Dynamics Control Module & Hydraulic Unit (VDCCM & H/U)
The Vehicle Dynamics Control Module & Hydraulic Unit (VDCCM & H/U) assesses the
vehicles condition based on input signals from various sensors throughout the vehicle. As the
vehicle’s condition is assessed, the VDCCM commands the operation of an internal pump and
series of electronic solenoid valves to regulate brake fluid pressure to each of the 4 wheels.
The Hydraulic Unit (H/U) portion of the VDCCM controls the braking force of each wheel by
increasing, decreasing, or holding brake fluid pressure.
VDCCM & H/U
The VDCCM communicates via the CAN with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and
Transmission Control Module (TCM) generating requests to improve vehicle assistance
characteristics.
