A pressure control valve unit to be employed in an active suspension system includes a valve member movable between a pressure increasing mode position, a pressure decreasing mode position and a pressure holding mode position for adjusting fluid pressure in a working chamber of an active cylinder disposed between a vehicular body and a suspension member rotatably supporting a road wheel. The valve member is further movable to a pressure relieving position in response to a pressure in the working chamber higher than a predetermined value. The valve member at the pressure relieving position establishes fluid communication between the working chamber and a drain line for draining pressurized fluid in the working chamber at a draining rate higher than that in said pressure decreasing mode position.
