Traction Control, Active Skid Control System - Endeavor
GENERAL INFORMATION Traction Control/Active Skid Control System (TCL/ASC) is available for AWD
models as optional equipment.
The Traction Control/Active Skid Control System is a combination system of
active skid control system and traction control system. The active skid control
system avoids a dangerous vehicle attitude by limiting the engine output and
braking a set of wheels (front left and right rear, or right front and left rear)
according to driving conditions. The traction control system prevents wheel
spinning at vehicle start. Fail-safe function ensures safety is maintained Diagnostic function provides improved serviceability To shorten the lines and enhance data transmission reliability, communication
with other ECU is
performed over a CAN
(Controller Area Network
).

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

unit reservoir, will be supplied to the front left wheel during oversteering or the rear
right wheel during understeering when the vehicle is at right turn. Furthermore, the
system also controls the engine if the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively. DURING NORMAL BRAKING Fig. 11: During Normal Braking Diagram

The brake fluid flows from the master cylinder to the cut valve and the inlet valve
to supply fluid pressure to the relevant wheels.

2. Start the engine.
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode, and check the data list
items by driving the vehicle.
Item 01 (DTC C1200 is set): Front right ABS sensor Item 02 (DTC C1205 is set): Front left ABS sensor Item 03 (DTC C1210 is set): Rear right ABS sensor Item 04 (DTC C1215 is set): Rear left ABS sensor
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Does the speedometer indication match the scan tool indication?
YES: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT
MALFUNCTIONS
.
NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Measure the voltage at TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32.
1. Disconnect the connector A-32, and connect special tool ABS Check
Harness (MB991952) to the wiring harness-side connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between the relevant signal and ground terminals in
the ABS sensor circuit and body ground. It should be less than 1V.
DTC C1200 is set: Between signal terminal 30 and body ground, and
between ground terminal 21 and body ground DTC C1205 is set: Between signal terminal 22 and body ground, and
between ground terminal 31 and body ground DTC C1210 is set: Between si
gnal terminal 8 and bo
dy ground, and
NOTE: Do not connect special tool ABS Check Harness
(MB991952) to the TCL/ASC-ECU.

Q: Is the harness wires between TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32 (terminal
22, 31) and ABS sensor < front: LH > connector A-14 (terminal 2, 1)
damaged?
YES: Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 17.
NO: Go to Step 15.
STEP 11. Check TCL/ASC-ECU connector A-32, intermediate connector
C-32 and ABS sensor < rear: RH > connector D-10 for loose, corroded or
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
