CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti- lock
brake system: Although the anti- lock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti-
lock brake system on.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the anti- lock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Anti- lock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at the moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
anti- lock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:

Driving on rough, gravel or snow-
covered roads.

Driving with tire chains installed.

Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.

Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The anti- lock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels' turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.

2. Control System
*SFI system
The SFI system monitors the engine condition through the signals input from each sensor (Input signals from (1) to (12)
etc.) to the engine control module. And the control signal is output to TERMINALS #10, #20, #30, #40, #50 and #60 of
the engine control module to operate the injector (Inject the fuel). The SFI system controls the fuel injection operation by
the engine control module in response to the driving conditions.
*ESA system
The ESA system monitors the engine condition through the signals input to the engine control module from each sensor
(Input signals from (1) to (12) etc.). The best ignition timing is decided according to this data and the memorized data in
the engine control module and the control signal is output to TERMINALS IGT1, IGT2, IGT3, IGT4, IGT5 and IGT6. This
signal controls the igniter to provide the best ignition timing for the driving conditions.
*ACIS
The ACIS includes a valve in the bulkhead separating the surge tank into two parts. This valve is opened or closed
according to the driving conditions to control the intake manifold length in three stages, for increased engine output in all
ranges from low to high speeds, when idling.
3. Diagnosis System
With the diagnosis system, when there is a malfunction in the engine control module signal system, the malfunctioning
system is recorded in the memory. The malfunctioning system can be found by reading the code displayed by the
malfunction indicator lamp.
4. Fail-Safe System
When a malfunction has occurred in any system, if there is a possibility of engine trouble being caused by continued control
based on the signals from that system, the fail-safe system either controls the system by using data (Standard values)
recorded in the engine control module memory or else stops the engine.

Previous automatic transaxle have selected each gear shift using mechanically controlled throttle hydraulic pressure,
governor hydraulic pressure and lock-up hydraulic pressure. The electronically controlled transmission, however, electrically
controls the line pressure, throttle pressure, lock-up pressure and accumulator pressure etc. through the solenoid valve. The
electronically controlled transmission is a system which precisely controls gear shift timing and lock-up timing in response to
the vehicle's driving conditions and the engine condition detected by various sensors. It makes smooth driving possible by
shift selection for each gear which is the most appropriate to the driving conditions at that time, and by preventing downing,
squat and gear shift shock when starting off.
1. Gear Shift Operation
During driving the engine warm up condition signal is input from engine coolant temp. sensor to TERMINAL THW of the
engine control module, and the vehicle speed signal is input from the ABS speed sensor to skid control ECU, and are sent to
the engine control module through communication control. At the same time, the throttle valve opening signal is sent from
the throttle position sensor to the TERMINALS VTA1 and VTA2 of the engine control module, as the throttle angle signal.
2. Lock-Up Operation
When the engine control module decides based on each signal that the lock-up condition has been met, the current flows
through TERMINAL DSL of the engine control module to TERMINAL 10 of the electronically controlled transmission solenoid
to GROUND.
3. Stop Light SW Circuit
If the brake pedal is depressed (Stop light SW on) when driving in lock-up condition, a signal is input to TERMINAL STP of
the engine control module. The engine control module operates and cuts the current to the solenoid to release lock-up.
4. Overdrive Circuit
*O/D main SW on
When the O/D main SW is turned on, a signal is input to TERMINAL ODMS of the engine control module and engine
control module operation causes gear shift when the conditions for overdrive are met.
*O/D main SW off
When the O/D main SW is turned off, a signal is input into TERMINAL ODMS of the engine control module, and turns on
the O/D off indicator light. This activates the ECU, and the transmission system is controlled not to shift to overdrive.

VSC and Tire Pressure Warning System
1. ABS Operation
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the ABS controls the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinders for all the four
wheels to automatically avoid wheel locking and ensure the directional and steering stability of the vehicle. If the brake pedal
is depressed suddenly, the skid control ECU with actuator controls the solenoids in the actuators using the signals from the
sensors to move the brake fluid to the reservoir in order to release the braking pressure applied to the wheel cylinder. If the
skid control ECU with actuator detects that the fluid pressure in the wheel cylinder is insufficient, the ECU controls the
solenoids in the actuators to increase the braking pressure.
2. Traction Control Operation
The traction control system controls the engine torque, the hydraulic pressure of the driving wheel cylinders, slipping of the
wheels which may occur at start or acceleration of the vehicle, to ensure an optimal driving power and vehicle stability
corresponding to the road conditions.
3. VSC Operation
Unexpected road conditions, vehicle speed, emergency situation, and any other external factors may cause large under- or
over-steering of the vehicle. If this occurs, the VSC system automatically controls the engine power and wheel brakes to
reduce the under- or over-steering.
To reduce large over-steering :
If the VSC system determines that the over-steering is large, it activates the brakes for the outer front turning wheels
depending on the degree of the over-steering to produce the moment toward the outside of the vehicle and reduce the
over-steering.
To reduce large under-steering :
If the VSC system determines that the under-steering is large, it controls the engine power and activates the rear wheel
brakes to reduce the under-steering.
VSC indicator light
If an mulfunction occurs in the VSC system, the VSC indicator lights up to warn the driver.
4. Mutual System Control
To efficiently operate the VSC system at its optimal level, the VSC system and other control systems are mutually controlled
while the VSC system is being operated.
Engine control
The engine power does not interfere with the VSC brake control by fuel cut controlling and reducing the engine output.
Engine control and electronically controlled transmission control
The strong braking force does not interfere with the braking force control of the VSC system by turning off the accel and
reducing changes in the driving torque at shift-down.
VSC system operation indication
The slip indicator light flashes and the buzzer alarm intermittently to warn the driver that the current road is slippery, while the
VSC system is being operated.
5. Fail Safe Function
If an mulfunction occurs in the skid control ECU with actuator, sensor signals, and/or actuators, the skid control ECU with
actuator inhibits the brake actuator control and inputs the mulfunction signal to the engine control module. According to the
mulfunction signal, the brake actuator turns off the solenoid and the engine control module rejects any electronically
controlled request from the VSC system. As a result, the vehicle functions without the ABS, BA, TRAC, and VSC systems.
