System Components
Roll rigidity is increased by activating the stabilizer function (turning the stabilizer ON) on good roads. On rough
roads, deactivating the stabilizer function (turning the stabilizer OFF) reduces stabilizer swing-back behavior.
As a result, the stabilizer release device serves to increase driving capability and riding comfort on rough roads.
The stabilizer release device is electrically activated (turned ON) or deactivated (turned OFF) by the stabilizer
switch in the driver's compartment.
System Description
CONTROL UNIT
The stabilizer control unit controls the actuator motor using the
stabilizer switch and a signal sent from the vehicle speed sensor.
When vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 MPH), the stabilizer
control unit maintains the clutch cylinder position and activates the
stabilizer function, regardless of the position of the stabilizer switch.
The system is provided with a timer function to cut the actuator
activating power output in about 15 seconds, in consideration of a
possible system abnormality.
ACTUATOR
The actuator motor is turned on by a signal sent from the control
unit. When the motor operates, the cable moves to activate the
stopper pin at the end of the cable.
CLUTCH CYLINDER
The stopper pin (at the end of the cable) moves in and out of the
cylinder (toward the piston rod or away from the piston rod) to turn
the stabilizer ON or OFF.
