•The
active st ability control syst em (ASC) has the
st ab ility control and t he traction control (TCL)
fun ctio ns. By the integra ted control with th e
ant i-lock b rake system, the system stabilizes th e
ve hicle attitu de and at the same time secures the
drivin g force.
•When the st ability control fun ction dete rmin es
tha t the vehicle is in a dangerou s condition, it
redu ces the e ngine outpu t and a pplies b rake
force to f our wheels indepe ndently to control th e
ve hicle be haviour, avoiding the critical state.
•The tract ion control (TCL) fun ction prevent s the
drivin g wheel slip on a slippery road sur face,
ensurin g easy st artup, an d at the same time,
secure s proper drivin g force and improves ste er

IMPROVED SERVICEABILITY
•Employment of an automatic hydraulic timing belt
tensioner offers timing belt reliability, reduced
operating noise, and better serviceability. <4G1>
•Wiring harness section of the crank angle sensor
has been moulded integrally with the timing belt
cover, improving serviceability and reliability.
<4G1>
•Due to the adoption of the timing chain and the
timing chain tensioner, maintenance-free and reli
-
ability have been improved. <4A9>
•Since adoption of unvolatile memory (EEPROM*)
helps the learned value not to be initialised when
the battery terminal or connector of the control
unit is disconnected, maintainability can be
improved.
NOTE: *EEPROM: Electrical Erasable Programma-
ble ROM (information to be memorised can be
electronically written into and erased from ROM)
•Since the adoption of electric power steering
makes hydraulic pipes and oil pumps unneces
-
sary, maintainability can be improved.
•Employment of operative A/C piping layout and
refrigerant leak detection system enhances serv
-
iceability.

GENERAL INFORMATIONM2370000100862
Vehicle-speed sensitive electric power steering
(whole range type) has been adopted. This system
allows a light steering force during stationary steer
-
ing manoeuvre or low speed driving, and a moderate
steering force during medium or high speed driving.
For vehicles with this system, the electric power
steering-ECU controls the motor current according to
the vehicle speed and steering force of the steering
wheel.
CAN* communication has been adopted in order to
communicate with another ECUs for obtaining nec
-
essary information related to this control, achieving
wiring harness saving and secure data communica
-
tion.
NOTE: *: For more information about CAN (Control-
ler Area Network), refer to GROUP 54C, General
