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.

• 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.
• SLIP indicator lamp blinks while TCS function is in operation and
indicates to the driver that the function is in operation.

tion. However, ABS function and EBD function operate normally.

• 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 calculate wheel speed and pseudo-vehicle speed, and transmit 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 tendencies are moderated during brak- ing while cornering.
- Obstacles may be easily bypassed by steering operation during
braking.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in ABS function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function
and ABS function. However, EBD function operates normally.

nal to actuator portion when rear wheel slip exceeds front wheel
slip for the specified value or more, and controls rear wheel brake
