FAIL-SAFE CHART
1. FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The brake actuator assembly turns off each solenoid and the ECM shuts off VSC control (traction control signal) from the skid control ECU accordingly, which turns out to be as if the ABS, TRAC and VSC systems were not installed.
The ABS control will be prohibited, but EBD control will continue as much as possible. If EBD control is impossible, the brake warning light will come on to warn the driver (See page ).
If it is impossible to control the systems, the warning light comes on to inform the driver of termination of the systems (See page ).
Malfunction Area |
Control Method |
