SYSTEM DIAGRAM
• 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).
Component Signal description
Combination meter Receives the following signals from ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) via CAN com-
munication.
• VDC warning lamp signal
• ABS warning lamp signal

• During braking, control unit portion compares slight slip on front and rear wheels by wheel sensor signal, transmits drive signal to
actuator portion when rear wheel sl ip exceeds front wheel slip for
the specified value or more, and controls rear wheel brake force
(brake fluid pressure) so that increase of rear wheel slip is pre-
vented and slips on front wheel and rear wheel are nearly equal-
ized. ABS control is applied when slip on each wheel increases
and wheel speed is the threshold value of ABS control or less.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in EBD function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function,
ABS function and EBD function. Refer to BRC-29, "VDC/TCS/ABS
: Fail-safe".

If ABS warning lamp and SLIP indicator
lamp turn ON, perform self-diagnosis.
NOTE:
• 1: The ABS does not operate when the speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less.
• 2: Under the following conditions, ABS is activated and vibration is felt when brake pedal is lightly depressed (just place a foot on it).
However, this is normal.
- When shifting gears
- When driving on slippery road
- During cornering at high speed
- When passing over bumps or grooves [approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) or more]
- When pulling away just after starting engine [at approximately 10 km/h (6 MPH) or higher] Symptom Check item Reference

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463845
Symptom Result
Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and operation noises occur when VDC, TCS or ABS is activated. This is a normal condi-
tion due to the VDC,
TCS or ABS activation.
Stopping distance is longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
The brake pedal moves and generates noises when TCS or VDC is activated due to rapid acceleration or
sharp turn.
The brake pedal vibrates and motor operation noises occur from the engine room after the engine starts and
just after the vehicle starts. This is normal, and it is
caused by the ABS op-
eration check.
Depending on the road conditions, the driver may experience a sluggish feel in the brake pedal. This is normal, because TCS places the highest
priority on the optimum
traction (stability).
TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving where road friction coefficient varies,
when downshifting, or when fully depressing accelerator pedal.
The ABS warning 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 rotating on a turntable or located on a ship while the engine
is running. In this case, restart the
engine on a normal
road. If the normal con-
dition is restored, there
is no malfunction. At
that time, erase the self-
diagnosis memory.
VDC may not operate normally or th
e ABS warning lamp, and SLIP indicato r lamp may illuminate when driv-
ing on a road that is extremely slanted (e.g., bank in a circuit course).
A malfunction may occur in the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system when the vehicle turns sharply, such
as during a spin turn, axle turn, or drift driving, while the VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF indicator lamp illu-
minated).
The vehicle speed will not increase even though the accelerator pedal is depressed, when inspecting the
speedometer on a 2-wheel chassis dynamometer. Normal (Deactivate the
VDC/TCS function be-
fore performing an in-
spection on a chassis
dynamometer.)
SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn ON when low tire pressure warning lamp turns ON. This is not a VDC sys-
tem error but results
from characteristic
change of tire.

Precautions for Lane Departure WarningINFOID:0000000009464727
REAR VIEW CAMERA HANDLING
The rear camera unit “1” for the LDW/BSW syst
ems is located above the rear license plate.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW systems and pr event a system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
• Always keep the camera lens clean. Be careful not to damage the nozzle of the automatic washer and
blower.
• Do not attach ”license plate accessories” that reflect light.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
• LDW system is only a warning device to inform the dr iver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of cont rol. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• The camera unit may not detect properly under the following conditions:
- When towing a trailer.
- When strong light enters the camera unit. (For exampl e, direct sunlight or headlight from the rear.)
- When ambient light changes instantly. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or passes
under a bridge.)
• Automatic washer and blower may not be able to secure detection capability when excessive dirt adheres on the camera lens.
• Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehi cle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
• The camera unit may not be able to detect properly under the following conditions:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt or snow,
etc.
- On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- On roads where there are sharply c ontrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW syst em could detect these items as lane markers.)
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When the road surface is very dark due to scarce ambient light or impaired tail lamp.
• When driving on a curved road, warning will be late on the outside of the curve due to the nature of the sys-
tem.
