6. Construction and Operation of Components
TRAC OFF Switch and Indicator Light
1) TRAC OFF Switch
When pressing, this switch turns the TRAC system to be inoperative. Pressing it again changes it to be operative.
When turning the ignition switch from ªOFFº to ªONº, TRAC system always becomes operative.
2) TRAC OFF Indicator Light
This light comes on when the TRAC system is set inoperative by the TRAC OFF switch, and informs the driver
accordingly. And blinks to alert the driver when a malfunction has occurred in the engine and TRAC system.
3) Slip Indicator Light
When the TRAC system is operative, the light blinks and informs the driver accordingly.
ABS & TRAC Actuator
1) Construction
The ABS & TRAC actuator consists of 12 two±position solenoid valves, 1 motor, 2 pumps 2 reservoirs and 2 pressure
regulator valves.
The 12 two±position solenoid valves consists of 2 master cut solenoid valves, 2 reservoirs cut solenoid valves, 4
pressure holding valves, and 4pressure reduction valves.
Pressure regulator valve is assembled into the master cut solenoid valve.
The basic construction and operation of the pump, reservoir, pressure holding valve, and pressure reduction valve
are shared with ABS.
a. Master Cut Solenoid Valve
When the TRAC system is active, a signal from the ABS & TRAC ECU causes the master cut solenoid valve to turn
ON in order to shut off the circuit between the master cylinder and the front brake wheel cylinder.
81CHASSISÐBRAKES
2) Initial Check
An initial check is carried out once every a few seconds after the ignition was turned on. The functions of each
solenoid valve and pump motor in the actuator are checked on order.
3) Self±Diagnosis
If the ABS & TRAC ECU detects a malfunction in the engine, ABS or TRAC system, it blinks the TRAC OFF
indicator light to alert the driver of the malfunction. At the same, the ABS & TRAC 1997 Avalon Repair Manual
(Pub. No. RM504U) for the diagnostic code check method, diagnostic code and diagnostic code clearance.
4) Fail±Safe
In the event of a malfunction in the engine, ABS or TRAC system, the ABS & ECU prohibits the TRAC system.
Thus, the brake and engine controls will operate in the same conditions as those without the TRAC system.

This system is useful when entering the vehicle and inserting the ignition key
into the cylinder in the dark.
2 types of this system are used in the new Camry.
In the first type, when the doors are opened, this system turns on the illu-
minations around ignition key cylinder and dome light (only when the con-
trol switch is set to the DOOR position) simultaneously. These lights fade
out in about 15 seconds. However, under certain conditions such as when all
doors are locked, the lights will turn off immediately even if the system is
operating.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '97 Avalon.
In the second type, when the door is opened, this system turns on the illu-
minations around the ignition key cylinder. This illumination remains on for
about 5 seconds after the door is closed.

Inflator and Bag for Front Passenger
1) General
The inflator and ag for front passenger are inserted inside the case, and located in the passenger side instrument panel.
the bag is made of strong nylon cloth, and becomes inflated by the argon gas flowed from the inflator. Also, 2 types
of the inflator for front passenger have been adopted: TRW made and Morton made.
2) Inflator of TRW Made
The inflator of TRW made is comprised of a squib, propellant grain, burst cup and high pressure argon gas.
If the airbag sensor is turned on by deceleration due to frontal collision, electric current then ignites the squib located
in the inflator. the frame of squib spreads instaneously to the propellant grain. If the internal pressure of the burst cup
increases by the combustion of the propellant grain, the burst cup will be released by making its bulkhead break. With
this, the gas which expanded by the tgeat of the ignition of the propellant grain flows into the airbag via the diffuser,
thus inflating the airbag.
