SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
ABS FunctionEFS004XC

The Anti-Lock Brake System detects wheel revolution while braking and improves handling stability during
sudden braking by electrically preventing wheel lockup. Maneuverability is also improved for avoiding
obstacles.

If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the ABS becomes inoperative and
the ABS warning lamp turns on.

The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-II.

During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.

Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from
engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
EBD FunctionEFS004XD

Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the brake fluid pressure
which results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the EBD and ABS become inoper-
ative, and the ABS warning lamp and BRAKE warning lamp are turned on.

The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-II.

During EBD operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.

Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from
engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
TCS FunctionEFS004XE

Spinning of the drive wheels is detected by the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) using inputs
from the wheel speed sensors. If wheel spin occurs, the drive wheel right and left brake fluid pressure
control and engine fuel cut are activated while the throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine torque
and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the throttle opening is controlled to achieve the opti-
mum engine torque.

Depending on road condition, the vehicle may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum trac-
tion has the highest priority during TCS operation.

TCS may be activated during sudden vehicle acceleration, wide open throttle acceleration, sudden trans-
mission shifts or when the vehicle is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.

The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of TCS operation.
VDC FunctionEFS004XF

In addition to the ABS/TCS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from the steering angle sensor and front and rear pressure sensors, and the vehicle's driving status
(amount of under steering/over steering) is determined using inputs from the yaw rate sensor/side G sen-
sor, wheel speed sensors, etc. and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the
braking and engine torque application to the wheels.

The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.

During VDC operation, the vehicle body and brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may
be heard. This is normal.

The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turn table or a ship while the
engine is running or on a steep slope. In this case, restart the engine on a normal road and if the ABS
warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no problem.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004XG
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, perform the Self Diagnosis for ABS/TCS/VDC system.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Note 1. If wheel sensor 2 for each wheel is indicated, check ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) power
supply voltage in addition to wheel sensor circuit check.
Note 2. If multiple malfunctions are detected including CAN communication line [U1000], perform diagnosis for
CAN communication line first.
Note 3: "ACTUATOR RLY" on the CONSULT-II self-diagnosis results indicates the malfunction of the actuator
motor relay or circuit.

System DescriptionEKS00BBU
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage gauge and water tempera-
ture gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter.

Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn from the CAN communication system, BCM (body con-
trol module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.
*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected.

Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage gauge, A/T indicator, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition switch is turned on. When
the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust the brightness of the com-
bination meter illumination and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination. When the ignition switch is
turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will remain off for 0.7 seconds. For
additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT-152, "
