Port D "11" is closed by the "pressurization" signal transmitted from the ABS ECU. Before this
occurs, 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 calipers via port A "7" and port C "13". At this time, the brake is pressur-
ized at a constant speed regardless of the brake fluid pressure level since restriction of port A "7"
changes so that a constant pressure difference is maintained between chamber A "20"and cham-
ber B "21" of the flow control valve.
