VDC/TCS/ABS
System Diagram
System Description
- In addition to TCS/ABS functions, Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system controls brake application to four wheels and engine output to improve the stability of the vehicle, judging driving conditions (under/over steering) from the steering angle and brake application data detected by the sensors (steering angle and pressure) and from data by the sensors (yaw rate/side/decel G and wheel speed).
- During VDC operation, it informs driver of system operation by blinking the SLIP indicator lamp.
- Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
- Both “VDC” and “VDC-R” are used in this manual. These indicate the same system.
