Stability control operation
•ASC-ECU receives various kinds of information
from the wheel speed sensor, steering wheel
sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, pressure sensor,
stop lamp switch, brake fluid level switch, parking
brake switch, and engine ECU. When ECU deter
-
mines the vehicle runs in the oversteer or unders-
teer direction based on the signal sent from these
sensors, ASC-ECU drives each valve and pump
motor and controls the braking force to be applied
to the wheels.
•When the system increases the fluid pressure
automatically, it closes the cut valve to shut off
the pressure line to the suction valve, and drives
the pump motor. For example, when the vehicle
runs in the oversteer direction while turning to the
right, ASC-ECU supplies the brake fluid from the
pump to the front left wheel in order to apply the
braking force on it.
•ASC-ECU and the engine ECU communicate
with each other via CAN communication. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed too far, the
signal requesting the engine output reduction is
sent to the engine ECU so that the ASC controlla
-
bility can be secured.

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.
