and tires installed on the vehicle are the specified si ze and parts. Brake performance and controllability may
be negatively affected when other parts than the specified are installed.
 Brake stopping distance may become longer and steering stability may be negatively affected, when tires in
different size and combination or other parts than the specified are used.
 When a radio (including wiring), antenna and antenna lead line are located near ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit), a malfunction or improper operation ma y occur for the control of VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist func tion or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
 When the following items are replaced by other parts than genuine parts or modified, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, and the control may not operate normally for VDC
function, TCS function, ABS function, EB D function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function.
- Suspension component parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing and others)
- Tire and wheel (other than the specified size)
- Brake component parts (brake pad, disc rotor, brake caliper and others)
- Engine component parts (ECM, muffler and others)
- Body reinforcement component parts (rollover bar, tower bar and others)
 When suspension, tire and brake component parts are excessively worn or deteriorated and the vehicle is
driven, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may tu\
rn ON, and the control may
not operate normally for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
 ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, when only front wheel or rear wheel is rotated using a free roller. This is not a ma lfunction, because it is caused by wheel speed difference
between wheel that is rotated and wheel that is not rota ted. In this case, perform self-diagnosis, check self-
diagnosis results, and erase memory.
 When power supply voltage is not normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp
turn ON. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) st ops control for VDC function, TCS function, ABS func-
tion, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. Ordinary brake
operates. After power supply returns to normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning
lamp turn OFF. The control becomes operative for VD C function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function,
hill start assist function or brake li mited slip differential (BLSD) function.
 VDC warning lamp may turn ON and VDC function or TCS function may not normally operate, when driving
on a special road the is extremely slanted (bank in a circ uit course). This is not a malfunction if the status
returns to normal for VDC function or TCS function after the engine is started again. In this case, perform
self-diagnosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory.
 A malfunction in yaw rate/side/decel G sensor syste m may be detected when the vehicle sharply turns dur-
ing a spin turn, acceleration turn or drift driving while VDC function or TCS function are OFF (VDC OFF
switch is pressed and VDC OFF indicator lamp is in ON st atus). This is not a malfunction if the status returns
to normal for VDC function or TCS function after the engine is started again. In this case, perform self-diag-
nosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory
Precaution for Harness RepairINFOID:0000000006222558
 Solder the repair part, and wrap it with tape. [Twisted wire fray must be 110 mm (4.33 in) or less.]

 Downsize and weight reduction is aimed. IC for detection portion and magnet for sensor rotor are adopted.
 Power supply is supplied to detection portion so that magnetic field
line is read. Magnetic field that is detected is converted to current
signal.
 When sensor rotor rotates, magnetic field changes. Magnetic field
change is converted to current signals (rectangular wave) and is
transmitted to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Change
of magnetic field is pr oportional to wheel speed.

Brake Fluid Level SwitchINFOID:0000000006222566
Detects the brake fluid level in reservoir tank and trans mits converted electric signal from ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit), when brake fluid level is the specified level or less.
Parking Brake SwitchINFOID:0000000006222567
Detects the operation status of parking brake switch and transmits converted electric signal from combination
meter to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
VDC OFF SwitchINFOID:0000000006222568
 VDC OFF switch is integrated in SNOW MODE / TOW MODE / VDC OFF switch assembly (2WD models) or
4WD switch assembly (4WD models).
 The operation of the VDC OFF switch enables the arbi trary switching of the VDC function between stop sta-
tus and standby status. The status of the function is indicated by the VDC OFF indicator lamp. (ON: Non-
operational status, OFF: Standby status)
- VDC function NOTE:
Brake limited slip differentia l (BLSD) control operates.
- TCS function
 VDC OFF indicator lamp turns OFF (standby status) when the engine is started again after it is stopped once while VDC OFF indicator lamp is ON (non-operational status).

Major signal transmission between each unit via communication lines is shown in the following table.
*1: Communication line between yaw rate/side/decal G s
ensor and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
*2: Models with 4WD system
OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
VDC Function That Prevents Oversteer Tendency
 During a cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the outer side of turn. Moment directing towards the outer side of turn is generated. Oversteer is prevented.
 Changing driving lane on a slippery road, when oversteer tendency is judged large, engine output is con- trolled as well as brake force (brake fluid pr essure) of 4 wheels. Oversteer tendency decreases.

 During a cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressu re) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the inner
side of turn. Moment directing towards the inner side of turn is generated. Understeer is prevented.
 Applying braking during a cornering on a slippery road, when understeer tendency is judged large, engine
output is controlled as well as brake force (brake fluid pressure) of four wheels. Understeer tendency
decreases.
TCS FUNCTION
TCS FUNCTION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222573
 Wheel spin status of drive wheel is detected by wheel sensor of 4
wheels. Engine output and transmission shift status is controlled
so that slip rate of drive wheels is in appropriate level. When wheel
spin occurs on drive wheel, ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control
unit) perform brake force control of LH and RH drive wheels (apply
brake force by increasing brake fluid pressure of drive wheel) and
decrease engine torque by engine torque control. Wheel spin
amount decreases. Engine torque is controlled to appropriate
level.
 TCS function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by
operating VDC OFF switch. In this case, VDC OFF indicator lamp
turns ON.
 TCS function is not operate when 4WD mode is “4L”. (Models with
4WD system)
 VDC warning lamp blinking while TCS 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 TCS function operates. This is not a malfunc-
tion because it is caused by TCS function that is normally oper-
ated.
 CONSULT-III can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
 Fail-safe function is adopted. W hen a malfunction occurs in TCS
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, hill start
assist function and brake limited slip differential (B LSD) function. However, ABS function and EBD function
are operated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".
