ABS FUNCTION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222574
By preventing wheel lock through brake force (brake flui d pressure) control that is electronically controlled by
detecting wheel speed during braking, stability during em ergency braking is improved so that obstacles can
be easily bypassed by steering operation.
During braking, control units calculates wheel speed and pseudo-vehicle speed, and transmits pressure
increase, hold or decrease signals to actuator portion according to wheel slip status.
The following effects are obtained by preventing wheel lock during
braking.
- Vehicle tail slip is prevented during braking when driving straight.
- Understeer and oversteer tendencie s are moderated during brak-
ing driving on a corner.
- Obstacles may be easily bypassed by steering operation during braking.
Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when ABS function oper ates. This is not a malfunc-
tion because it is caused by ABS function that is normally oper-
ated.
CONSULT-III can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in ABS function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function,
hill start assist function and brake limited slip differential (BLSD)
function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without
VDC function, TCS function, ABS func tion, hill start assist function
and brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. However, EBD
function is operated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".
NOTE:
ABS has the characteristic as described here, but it is not the device that helps reckless driving.
To stop vehicle efficiently, ABS does not operate and ordinary brake operates at low speed [approx. 5 to 10 km/h (3.1 to 6.2
MPH) or less, but differs subject to road conditions).
Self-diagnosis is performed immediately after when engine starts and when vehicle initially is driven [by vehi-
cle speed approx. 15 km/h (9.3 MPH)]. Motor sounds are generated during self-diagnosis. In addition, brake
pedal may be felt heavy when depressing brake pedal lightly. These symptoms are not malfunctions.

hill start assist FUNCTION
hill start assist FUNCTION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222576
This function maintains brake fluid pressure so that
the vehicle does not move backwards even if brake
pedal is released to depress accelerator pedal to start the vehicle while it is stopped on an uphill slope by
depressing brake pedal.
This function operates when the vehicle is in stop status on a uphill slope of slope ratio 10% or more and
selector lever is in the position other than P or N.
hill start assist function is only for the start aid. It maintains the brake fluid pressure for approx. 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal, and then decreases the pressure gradually. If the vehicle can start by the
accelerator operation, the brake is released automatically and a smooth start can be performed.
Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in hill start assist function, the control is suspended
for VDC function, TCS function, hill start assist func tion and brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, hill start assist func-
tion and brake limited slip differential (BLSD) functi on. However, ABS function and EBD function are oper-
ated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".

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
