Component Function
Pump Returns the brake fluid reserved in reservoir to master cylinder by reducing pressure.
Motor Activates the pump according to signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Cut valve 1
Cut valve 2 Shuts off the ordinary brake line from master cylinder.
Suction valve 1
Suction valve 2 Supplies the brake fluid from master cylinder to the pump.
ABS IN valve Switches the fluid pressure line to increase or hold according to signals from control unit.
ABS OUT valve Switches the fluid pressure line to increase, hold or decrease according to signals from control unit.
Return check valve Returns the brake fluid from brake caliper and wheel cylinder to master cylinder by bypassing orifice
of each valve when brake is released.
Reservoir Temporarily reserves the brake fluid drained from brake caliper, so that pressure efficiently decreas-
es when decreasing pressure of brake caliper and wheel cylinder.
Pressure sensor Detects the brake fluid pressure and tr ansmits signal to ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control unit).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• Side slip or tail slip may occur while driving on a slippery road or intending an urgent evasive driving maneu-
ver. VDC function detects side slip status using each s ensor when side slip or tail slip is about to occur and
improves vehicle stability by brake cont rol and engine output control during driving.
• In addition to ABS function, EBD function and TCS functi on, target side slip amount is calculated according
to steering operation amount from steering angle sensor. By comparing this information with vehicle side slip
amount that is calculated from information from yaw rate/side G sensor and wheel sensor, vehicle driving
conditions (conditions of understeer or oversteer) are judged and vehicle stability is improved by brake force
control on all 4 wheels and engine output control.
• VDC function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating VDC OFF switch. In this case,
VDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON.
• Control unit portion automatically improves driving stability by performing brake force control as well as
engine output control, by transmitting drive signal to actuator portion according to difference between target
side slip amount and vehicle side slip amount

• Brake force control function at braking hard detects driver ′s brake operations with the pressure sensor,
judges a brake booster ′s maximum brake power function by using information from the vacuum sensor, and
enhances more powerful braking force by controlling brakes of four wheels.
• VDC warning lamp blinks while VDC function is in operat ion and indicates to the driver that the function is in
operation.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in VDC function, the control is suspended for VDC
function and TCS function. However, ABS function and EBD function operate normally. Refer to BRC-39,
"Fail-safe".
INPUT SIGNAL AND OUTPUT SIGNAL
Major signal transmission between each unit via communication lines is shown in the following table.
OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
VDC Function That Prevents Oversteer Tendency
• During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the outer
side of turn. Momentum is generated directing the vehicle toward the outer side of the turn. Oversteer is pre-
vented.
• Changing driving lane on a slippery road, when there may be a tendency to oversteer, engine output is con-
trolled as well as brake force (brake fluid pr essure) of 4 wheels. Oversteer tendency decreases.
Component Signal description
ECM Transmits the following signals to ABS actuator an
d electric unit (control unit) via CAN commu-
nication:
• Acceleration pedal position signal
• Engine speed signal
• Target throttle position signal
TCM Transmits the current gear positi
on signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via
CAN communication.
Steering angle sensor Transmits the steering an
gle sensor signal to ABS actuator an d electric unit (control unit) via
CAN communication.
Combination meter Transmits the following signals to ABS actuator an
d electric unit (control unit) via CAN commu-
nication:
• Brake fluid level switch signal
• parking brake switch signal
Receives the following signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN com-
munication:

VDC Function That Prevents Understeer Tendency
• During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the inner
side of turn. Momentum is generated directing the vehicle toward the inner side of the turn. Understeer is
prevented.
• Applying brakes during cornering on a slippery road, when there may be a tendency to understeer, engine output is controlled as well as brake force (bra ke fluid pressure) of 4 wheels. Understeer tendency
decreases.
