When metering R-134a into the refrigeration system, keep the supply tank or cans
in an upright position. If the refrigerant container is on its side or upside down,
liquid refrigerant will enter the system and damage the compressor.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome surfaces, and in combination with
moisture can severely corrode all metal surfaces. OPERATION CONDENSER FAN AND RADIATOR FAN CONTROL

COMPRESSOR CONTROL WHEN OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH
The air thermo sensor, which senses the temperature of the air flowing out of
the evaporator, deactivates the compressor at 3°C (37.4°F) or below. The dual pressure switch turns OFF when the refrigerant pressure becomes
excessively high or low, thus protecting the compressor circuit. When the air thermo sensor is activated, and the ignition switch, blower switch,
and air conditioning switch are ON, the A/C compressor clutch relay is
energized.
WHEN OPERATING THE MODE SELECTION DIAL
The air conditioning will work when the mode selection dial is set to the
"Defroster" or "Defroster/foot" position or the temperature control dial is set to
the "MAX A/C" position. In other dial positions, when the air conditioning
switch is turned on, the air conditioning will work.

A whining sound is caused by the TCL/ASC hydraulic unit motor. When pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the pulsation of the pedal causes a
scraping sound. When the brakes are applied firmly, the TCL/ASC operates, rapidly applying
and releasing the brakes many times per second. This repeated application and
release of braking forces can cause the suspension to make a thumping sound
and the tires to squeak.
SENSOR G AND YAW RATE SENSOR This sensor is mounted under the center console, and detects lateral acceleration,
longitudinal acceleration and steering angular velocity of the vehicle.

active skid control additionally, compared with the conventional hydraulic unit for
the ABS control. TRACTION CONTROL/ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INDICATOR LIGHT AND TRACTION

Traction control system OFF indicator light illuminate or flash under the conditions
below to inform the driver. TRACTION CONTROL/ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT
When the active skid control is active, the light flashes. When the traction control is active, the light flashes. When sensors related to traction control and active skid control are not
initialized, the li

per second.
NOTE:
The Traction control will activate when the system has
not been disabled by the traction control OFF switch,
and the vehicle speed has reached 4 - 9 mph (6 - 14
km/h). The traction control will deactivate when the front wheel
speed (both wheels) have decreased to 1 - 4 mph (2 - 6
km/h) for one second or more (four seconds or more if
the system is controlling the engine output). The Active skid control will be activated when the
vehicle speed exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h). The Active skid control will deactivate when the vehicle
speed has decreased to 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower.
NOTE: For the internal hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic unit, refer

The ECU incorporates the ABS-ECU, active skid control-ECU, and traction
control-ECU. The integral design allows joint operation of the TCL/ASC-ECU with
the ABS and coordinated control of the driving force and braking force. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The Traction Control and Active Skid Control (TCL/ASC) System is a system that
adds a yaw rate sensor, a steering wheel sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor
(incorporated in hydraulic unit) to the ABS system. OVERVIEW OF CONTROL The TCL/ASC-ECU detects vehicle movement based on information from various
sensors and calculates a model of ideal vehicle movement. After comparing actual
and ideal movements, it acts to bring the actual vehicle movement closer to the
ideal model by controlling specific wheel brake force and governing engine output.
It restrains under-steering and over-steering through a corrective yaw moment, as
explained on the following pages. EXAMPLE OF ACTIVE SKID CONTROL OPERATION The Active Skid Control manages the vehicle attitude by creating a yaw moment
from altering the balance between the cornering force and each wheel's braking
mechanism.
For example, on a slippery surface, if the vehicle tends to be under-steered contrary
to the driver's intention, a yaw moment (a rotational moment) is created to restrain
the under-steering by increasing the rear-inside braking force. On the other hand,
when the vehicle tends to be over-steered, a yaw moment (a restorative moment) is
created to restrain the over-steering by increasing the front-outside braking force.
Furthermore, when it is determined that the vehicle is over-speeding, safe and stable
cornerin
g is enabled b

EXAMPLE OF OPERATION OF TRACTION CONTROL The Traction Control prevents drive force loss during slipping of the drive wheels
by automatically applying the brakes and sending engine torque reduction signal to
the PCM when the drive wheels slip or when driving on partly low-friction
surfaces. FAIL-SAFE AND DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS The TCL/ASC-ECU regularly monitors input and out put signals. If an error is
detected in the system, the ECU sends a fail signal and the TCL/ASC indicator light
is illuminated or blinks. Various controls are processed depending on the cause of
malfunction as shown below. When the ABS system fails, the TCL/ASC system is
also suspended. However, when the TCL/ASC system fails, no other systems are
suspended. The appropriate indicator lights are illuminated/flashed.
The TCL/ASC-ECU includes the following functions to make system inspection
easier.
Diagnostic trouble code Display Data list Actuator test
All of the above operations can be carried out using scan tool MB991958.
ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION The TCL/ASC-ECU receives information from the PCM, the steering sensor, the G
and yaw-rate sensor and the wheel speed sensor. If the ECU determines that the
vehicle is tending to oversteer or understeer, it sends signals to the active skid
control system valves and the ABS solenoid valves to increase the fluid pressure to
the wheels.
The system closes the cut valve to shut the fluid channel to the suction valve, and
activates the

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION The TCL/ASC-ECU receives information from the PCM, the G and yaw-rate
sensor, and the wheel speed sensor. If the ECU determines that a road wheel is
spinning, it will control the fluid pressure to the spinning wheel to apply torque to
the other road wheels. The operations of the ABS solenoid valves and the active
skid control system valves are the same as for the active skid control system.
Furthermore, the system also controls the engine if the accelerator pedal is
depressed excessively. TCL/ASC DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO TRACTION CONTROL/ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS The traction control/active skid control system (TCL/ASC) is a system that has
added the cut valve and suction valve to the conventional ABS system. These
valves are used to control each of the road wheels independently. These differences
include sounds, sensations, and vehicle performance that owners and service
technicians who are not familiar with TCL/ASC may not be used to.
Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply
signs of normal TCL/ASC operation. When diagnosing the TCL/ASC system, keep
these operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of
performance characteristics to expect from an TCL/ASC-equipped vehicle. TCL/ASC Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection Conditions TCL/ASC diagnostic trouble codes (TCL/ASC DTCs) are set under different
conditions, depending on the malfunction detected. Most TCL/ASC DTCs will only
be set during vehicle operation. Some TCL/ASC DTCs will also be set during the
TCL/ASC self-check immediatel
y after the en
gine is started.
NOTE: *: When the ASC is operating while the brake pedal is
depressed, the suction valve turns on and off according to
the brake fluid amount supplied to the buffer chamber.
