c. Oversteer Restraining Control

In oversteer restraining control, the brake of the front and rear wheels of the outer side of the turn
is applied. As an example, the diagram below shows the hydraulic circuit in the pressure increase mode,
as it restrains an oversteer condition while the vehicle makes a right turn.
As in understeer restraining control, in other operating modes, the pressure holding valve and the pres-
sure reduction valve are turned ON/OFF according to the ABS operation pattern.
However, in oversteer control, the pressure holding valve is turned ON and blocks the hydraulic passage
to the front inner wheel in order to prevent applying the brake to the front inner wheel.

6) Brake Assist Operation

The fluid pressure that has been generated by the pump in the brake actuator is directed to the wheel
cylinders. By applying a greater fluid pressure than the master cylinder, a greater braking force is achieved.
