Brake BurnishingINFOID:0000000009463694
CAUTION:
• Burnish contact surfaces between brake pads and disc brake rotor according to the following proce-
dure after refinishing the disc brake rotor, replacing brake pads or if a soft pedal occurs at very low
mileage.
• Be careful of vehicle speed. Brakes do not operat e firmly/securely until pads and disc rotor are
securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress the brake pedal until the vehicle stops.
3. Release the brake pedal for a few minutes to allow the brake components to cool.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[VDC/TCS/ABS]
SYSTEM
• Brake force control function
at braking hard detects driver′s brake operations with the pressure sensor,
judges a brake booster ′s maximum brake power function by using information from the vacuum sensor, and
enhances more powerful braking force by controlling brakes of four wheels.
• VDC warning lamp blinks while VDC function is in operati on and indicates to the driver that the function is in
operation.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in VDC function, the control is suspended for VDC
function and TCS function. However, ABS functi on and EBD function operate normally. Refer to BRC-41,
"Fail-safe".
INPUT SIGNAL AND OUTPUT SIGNAL
Major signal transmission between each unit via communication lines is shown in the following table.
OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
VDC Function That Prevents Oversteer Tendency
• During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressu re) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the outer
side of turn. Momentum is generated directing the vehicle toward the outer side of the turn. Oversteer is pre-
vented.
• Changing driving lane on a slippery road, when there may be a tendency to oversteer, engine output is con- trolled as well as brake force (brake fluid pr essure) of 4 wheels. Oversteer tendency decreases.
Component Signal description
ECM Transmits the following signals to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN commu-
nication.
• Acceleration pedal position signal
• Engine speed signal
• Target throttle position signal
TCM Transmits the current gear positi
on signal to ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit) via
CAN communication.
Steering angle sensor Transmits the steering angle sensor signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via
CAN communication.
Combination meter Transmits the following signals to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN commu-
nication.
• Brake fluid level switch signal
• parking brake switch signal
Receives the following signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN com-
munication.
• VDC OFF indicator lamp signal
• SLIP indicator lamp signal

VDC Function That Prevents Understeer Tendency
• During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the inner
side of turn. Momentum is generated di recting the vehicle toward the inner side of the turn. Understeer is
prevented.
• Applying brakes during cornering on a slippery road, when there may be a tendency to understeer, engine output is controlled as well as brake force (bra ke fluid pressure) of 4 wheels. Understeer tendency
decreases.
