ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)35C-2
GENERAL
M2357000200040
The active stability control system (ASC) has been
installed to the M/T vehicle.
•The active stability control system (ASC) has the
stability control and the traction control (TCL)
functions. By the integrated control with the
anti-lock brake system, the system stabilises the
vehicle attitude and at the same time secures the
driving force.
•When the stability control function determines
that the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, it
reduces the engine output and applies brake
force to four wheels independently to control the
vehicle behaviour, avoiding the critical state.
•The traction control (TCL) function prevents the
driving wheel slip on a slippery road surface,
ensuring easy startup, and at the same time,
secures proper driving force and improves steer
-
ing performance during cornering acceleration.
•Fail-safe function assures the security.
•Serviceability improvement
•For wiring harness saving and secure data com-
munication, the CAN* communication has been
adopted as a tool of communication with another
ECU.
NOTE: .
•*For more information about CAN (Controller
Area Network), refer to GROUP 54C
P.54C-2.
•ABS and ASC are controlled by ASC-ECU.

ASC-ECU
M2357000100043
ABS-ECU and ASC-ECU are integrated in this ECU.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The hydraulic unit of the ASC system employs the
automatic pressurisation function for stability and
TCL control. The system also incorporates G and
yaw rate sensor, steering wheel sensor, and pres
-
sure sensor (integrated with hydraulic unit).
CONTROL DESCRIPTION
ASC-ECU detects vehicle movement based on infor-
mation from various sensors and calculates a model
of ideal vehicle movement. ASC-ECU compares the
actual vehicle movement with the ideal vehicle
model, and manages the brak e of the specific wheel
so that the actual vehicle movement gets close to the
ideal vehicle mode. It also controls the understeer or
oversteer condition by creating the yaw moment
(rotating direction force) in the vehicle.
Stability control
The stability control manages the vehicle attitude by
creating a yaw moment (rotating direction force) from
altering the balance between the cornering force and
each wheel’s braking mechanism.

For example, on a slippe ry surface, if t he ve hicle

inten
t ion, a yaw mome nt (a ro t a tional mo ment) is
create
d to re strain the u nder-steering by increasing
the rear
-inside b r aking force. On the other ha nd,
whe
n the vehicle tends to b e ove r stee red, a yaw moment (a re storat ive moment) is crea ted to re strain
the overst eering by incre a sing the front-ou t side
wh eel b r aking force. Furt hermo re, when it is dete r

Example of TCL control
When th e driving wheel slip s (ex. during drivin g on
low
µ road), TCL send s the engine out put red u ction
sign
al to the en gine ECU in order to prevent th e driv
-
ing f o r c e loss cau s e d by t he dr iving whe e l slip . A t t h e
same time, TCL a
pplies th e brake to t he slipp i ng
driving whe
e l so that the drivin g force is applied to
t
he non-slipping driving wheel, which co ntrols the slip
o
f th e drivi ng wheel, securin g the prop er d r iving f o rce
and increa
sed steering fo rce.
