GENERAL INFORMATION


Active Stability Control System (ASC) has been installed.

note
  • *For more information about CAN (Controller Area Network), refer to GROUP 54C .
  • ABS and ASC are controlled by ASC-ECU.

MAIN COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
Component
No.
Functional description
SENSOR

Wheel speed sensor
1
Outputs the frequency signal in proportion to the rotation speed of each wheel to ASC-ECU.
Magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection
2
The wheel speed sensor is a pulse generator. When the magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection (a plate on which north and south pole sides of the magnets are arranged alternately) rotates, it outputs frequency pulse signal in proportion to each wheel speed.
Stop lamp switch
3
Outputs the signal indicating whether the brake pedal is depressed or not to ASC-ECU.
G & yaw rate sensor
4
Detects longitudinal and lateral acceleration of a vehicle, and outputs signal to ASC-ECU via the CAN line.
Steering wheel sensor
5
Detects the steering angle of the steering wheel, and outputs signal to ASC-ECU via the CAN bus line.
ASC OFF switch
6
Outputs the ON/OFF signal for TCL/ASC to ASC-ECU.
Pressure sensor
7
Integrated into the hydraulic unit, and outputs the signal for the brake fluid pressure in the master cylinder to ASC-ECU.
ACTUATOR
Hydraulic unit
8
Drives the solenoid valve using the signal from ASC-ECU, and controls the brake fluid pressure for each wheel.
ABS warning lamp
9
Informs the driver of the system status by illuminating, flashing, or turning off the warning lamp according to the signal from ASC-ECU.
Brake warning lamp
10
Used as the warning lamp for the parking brake, brake fluid level, and EBD control. Informs the driver of the system status by illuminating, flashing, or turning off the warning lamp according to the signal from ASC-ECU.
ASC indicator lamp
11
TCL function and ASC function use the same display. Depending on the signal from ASC-ECU, the indicator lamp informs the driver of the system status by flashing when the system operates and by illuminating when the system has malfunction.
ASC OFF indicator lamp
12
Informs the driver of the system shutdown by illuminating by the signal from ASC-ECU. Informs the driver that the brake system overheats and the brake TCL stops by flashing the indicator lamp for the duration of approximately 2 Hz.
Diagnosis connector
13
Sets the diagnosis code and establishes the communication with M.U.T.-III.
Engine ECU
14
Controls the engine output based on the signal from ASC-ECU.
4WD-ECU
15
Outputs the drive status to ASC-ECU.
ASC control unit (ASC-ECU)
16
Controls the actuators (hydraulic unit) based on the signals sent from sensors.
Controls the self-diagnostic function and fail-safe function.
Controls diagnostic function (Compatible with M.U.T.-III).
