VDC
 In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver
steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steering /
over steering) is determined from information from G s ensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information is used
to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.
 SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
 During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is
normal.
 ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is subject
to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehi cle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope such as
bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning lamp, VDC
OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
TCS
 The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the wheel
speed signals from four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs , drive wheel right and left brake fluid pressure con-
trol and engine fuel cut are performed while throttle value is restricted to reduce the engi\
ne torque and
decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree throttle is opened is controlled to achieve the
optimum engine torque.
 Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the opti-
mum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.
 TCS may be activated any time vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly down/upshifts, or is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.
 During TCS operation, it informs a driver of sy stem operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
ABS
 The Anti-Lock Braking System is a function that detec ts wheel revolution while braking, and it improves han-
dling stability during sudden braking by electrically prev enting 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also improved
for avoiding obstacles.
 If the electrical system malfunc tions, then the fail-safe function star ts, the ABS becomes inoperative, and
ABS warning lamp turns on.
 Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
 During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
 When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
 Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-13, "How to Proceed with Diagnosis".
 If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), steer ing angle sensor, steering system parts or suspension
system parts have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of
steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-8, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-
tion".
 After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-26, "
Self-Diagnosis".
 When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness, bend,
or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfuncti on is found, repair or replace connector terminals.
 For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunc tion in harness, harness connector, or terminals. Move
harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.
 If a circuit tester is used for the check, be ca reful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
 To use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis of ABS act uator and electric unit (control unit), active tests, or
work support, first stop work, then connect CONSULT-III and select “ABS”.
 While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-III shows malf unction, if CONSULT-III active test is performed, an
engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume the normal screen.
 VDC/TCS/ABS system electronica lly controls brake operation and engine output. The following symptoms

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
*1: This sensor is not used to control the engine system under normal conditions.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*3: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is
determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). T he amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engi ne operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from both the crankshaft position sensor and the mass air
flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION I NCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compens ated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.
 During warm-up
 When starting the engine
 During acceleration
 Hot-engine operation
 When selector lever is changed from N to D
 High-load, high-speed operation

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001325901
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
BASIC ASCD SYSTEM
Refer to Owner's Manual for ASCD operating instructions.
Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) allows a dr
iver to keep vehicle at predetermined constant speed
without depressing accelerator pedal. Driver can set vehicle speed in advance between approximately 40 km/
h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
ECM controls throttle angle of electric thro ttle control actuator to regulate engine speed.
Operation status of ASCD is indicated by CRUISE i ndicator and SET indicator in combination meter. If any
malfunction occurs in ASCD system, it automatically deactivates control.
NOTE:
Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.
SET OPERATION
Press MAIN switch. (The CRUISE indicator in combination meter illuminates.)
When vehicle speed reaches a desired speed between approximately 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89
MPH), press SET/COAST switch. (Then SET indi cator in combination meter illuminates.)
ACCELERATOR OPERATION
If the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pressed during cruise control driving, increase the vehicle speed until
the switch is released or vehicle speed reac hes maximum speed controlled by the system.
And then ASCD will keep the new set speed.
CANCEL OPERATION
When any of following conditions exist, cruise operation will be canceled.
 CANCEL switch is pressed
