DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)35C-24
Traction control operation
ASC-ECU receives various kinds of information from
the engine ECU, steering wheel sensor, G and yaw
rate sensor, and wheel speed sensor. When
ASC-ECU determines that the driving wheel is slip
-
ping, it suppresses the wheel slippage. At this time,
ASC-ECU controls the brake fluid pressure of the
driving wheel determined to be slipping so that the
torque is transferred to another driving wheel. The operations of suction valve, cut valve, and solenoid
valve are basically the same as that of the stability
control. ASC-ECU and the engine ECU communi
-
cate with each other via CAN bus line. When the
accelerator pedal is depressed too far, the signal
requesting the engine output reduction is sent to the
engine ECU so that the TCL controllability can be
secured.

FEATURES
Brake system with high reliability and durability have
achieved distinguished braking performance.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE
•Brake booster with 9-inch variable amplification
ratio mechanism by which greater braking force
can be obtained with a less pedal pressure has
been installed (with brake assist function).
•14-inch disc brake is installed on the front
wheels.
•15-inch disc brake is installed on the front
wheels.
•8-inch leading trailing type drum brake is installed
on the rear wheels.
•14-inch disc brake is installed on the rear wheels.
STABILITY
•4-wheel anti-lock braking system (4ABS) is
adopted to prevent slipping caused by the vehicle
wheels locking up, in order to maintain appropri
-
ate braking distance, and also to maintain vehicle
stability and steering function.
•Electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) is
adopted to maintain the maximum amount of rear
braking force even when the vehicle's load is var
-
ied.
•Diagonal split (X-type) brake fluid line is adopted.
•Ventilated discs have been adopted to front
brakes to improve anti-fading performance.
•A brake pedal retraction suppression structure
that restrains the retraction of the brake pedal
and reduces the shock to the feet of the driver in
the event of a frontal collision has been adopted.
SERVICEABILITY
•Diagnosis function is adopted for the ABS system
in order to make inspection easier.
•For the front disc brakes, brake disc separated
front hub is adapted to make removal and instal
-
lation easier.
•ABS-ECU and hydraulic unit have been inte-
grated to make them more compact and lighter.
