• 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

munication:
• VDC OFF indicator lamp signal
• SLIP indicator lamp signal

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.

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
SeatsCheck seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the
locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches
lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks. —
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-43
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Brakes Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep
floor mats away from the pedal. BR-9
Clutch pedal
Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free play. CL-5
Parking brakeCheck that the lever or pedal has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle
is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-4
CVT "P" (Park) posi-
tion mechanismOn a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the shift selector
in the "P" (PARK) position without applying any brakes.

Item Reference page
Windshield washer
fluid Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. CO-8
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no cracks, deforma-
tion, deterioration or loose connections. CO-12
Brake and clutch fluid
levelsMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs. BR-12
CL-7
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level. PG-61
Engine drive belts
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-14
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot and
turning off the engine. MA-20
Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the
trouble and correct it. MA-26
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the
exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately. —

DISC BRAKE : Brake BurnishingINFOID:0000000012432285
BRAKE BURNISHING
Burnish contact surfaces between disc brake rotor and brake pads according to the following procedure after
refinishing disc brake rotors, replacing disc brake rotors,
replacing brake pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very
low mileage:
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake peda l does not operate firmly/securely until pads and
disc brake rotor are securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake pedal for a few minutes to cool the brakes.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc brake rotor are securely seated.
DISC BRAKE : InspectionINFOID:0000000012432286
INSPECTION
Appearance
Check surface of disc brake rotor for uneven wear, cra cks, and serious damage. Replace it if necessary. Refer
to BR-45, "
Front Disc Brake".
Runout
1. Secure the disc brake rotor to the wheel hub with wheel nuts (2
points at least).
2. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection. Refer to FA X - 7 , "
Inspection".
3. Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measure at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
4. Find the installation position that has a minimum runout by shift-
ing the disc brake rotor-to-wheel hub installation position by one
hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit value.
5. Refinish or replace the disc brake rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above
operation.
CAUTION:
If the thickness is less than w ear thickness + 0.3 mm (0.012 in), replace the disc brake rotor. Refer
to BR-37, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Removal and Installation".
Thickness
Check the thickness of the disc brake rotor using a micrometer.
Replace the disc brake rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit.
Refer to BR-45, "
Front Disc Brake".
DRUM BRAKE
Runout : Refer to BR-45, "Front Disc Brake".
Wear thickness : Refer to BR-45, "
