2. Pressurized state
Port D “11” is closed by the “pressurization” signal transmitted from the ABS ECU. Before this oc-
curs, the spool of the flow control valve has compressed the return spring and closed port B “9”.
Brake fluid that has entered through port A “7” is further restricted by the orifice “10” and the brake
fluid is sent to the brake caliper via port A “7” and port C “13”. At this time, the brake is pressurized
at a constant rate regardless of the brake fluid pressure level since the restriction of port A “7” chang-
es so that a constant pressure difference is maintained between chamber A “20” and chamber B
“21” of the flow control valve.
