 LH and RH driving wheel spin is always monitored. If necessary, appropriate brake force is independently
applied to LH or RH driving wheel so that one-sided wheel spin is avoided and traction is maintained. Mainly
starting ability is improved.

SYSTEM
 Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function operates
while VDC function is in non-operational status (OFF)
by VDC OFF switch.
 VDC warning lamp blinking while brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function is in operation and indicates
to the driver that the function is in operation.
 Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when brake limited slip differen-
tial (BLSD) function operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function that is normally operated.
 Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function,
the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, hi ll start assist function and brake limited slip differ-
ential (BLSD) function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS func-
tion, hill start assist function and brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function. However, ABS function and
EBD function are operated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".

DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222638
CAN communication allows a high rate of information transmission through the two communication lines
(CAN-H line and CAN-L line) connecting various control
units in the system. Each control unit transmits/
receives data but selectively reads required data only.

1.CHECK SYMPTOM
Check that the vehicle jerks when VDC function, TCS f unction, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist
function and brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function operates.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Normal
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS
With CONSULT-III.
Perform self-diagnosis for “ABS”.
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> Check the DTC. Refer to BRC-51, "DTC Index".
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK CONNECTOR
With CONSULT-III.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) harness connector.
3. Check connector terminal for deformation, disconnection and looseness.
4. Connect harness connector and perform self-diagnosis for “ABS” again.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Poor connection of connector terminal. Repair or replace connector terminal.
4.CHECK ECM AND TCM SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
With CONSULT-III.
Perform self-diagnosis for “E NGINE” and “TRANSMISSION”.
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> Check the DTC.
NO >> Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to BRC-137, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".
