EBD FUNCTION
EBD FUNCTION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222575
 By preventing rear wheel slip increase through rear wheel brake force (brake fluid pressure) control that is
electronically controlled when slight skip on front and r ear wheels are detected during braking, stability dur-
ing braking is improved.

 EBD function is expanded and developed from conventi onal ABS function and corrects rear wheel brake
force to appropriate level by electronic control according to load weight (number of passengers).
 During braking, control unit portion compares slight slip on front and rear wheels by wheel speed sensor signal, transmits drive sig-
nal to actuator portion when rear wheel slip exceeds front wheel
slip for the specified value or more, and controls rear wheel brake
force (brake fluid pressure) so t hat increase of rear wheel slip is
prevented and slips on front wheel and rear wheel are nearly
equalized. ABS control is applied when slip on each wheel
increases and wheel speed is the threshold value of ABS control or
less.
 CONSULT-III can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
 Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in EBD function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function,
ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function and brake lim-
ited slip differential (BLSD) func tion. The vehicle status becomes
the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, ABS
function, EBD function, hill start assist function and brake limited
slip differential (BLSD) function. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".

 LH and RH driving wheel spin is always monitored. If necessary, appropriate brake force is independently
applied to LH or RH driving wheel so that one-sided wheel spin is avoided and traction is maintained. Mainly
starting ability is improved.

SYSTEM
 Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function operates
while VDC function is in non-operational status (OFF)
by VDC OFF switch.
 VDC warning lamp blinking while brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function is in operation and indicates
to the driver that the function is in operation.
 Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when brake limited slip differen-
tial (BLSD) function operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function that is normally operated.
 Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function,
the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, hi ll start assist function and brake limited slip differ-
ential (BLSD) function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS func-
tion, hill start assist function and brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function. However, ABS function and
EBD function are operated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".

rned ON after the DTC is detected is displayed.
 When “0” is displayed: It indicates that the system is presently malfunctioning.
