DESCRIPTION
When TRAC or VSC is operating, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) blinks the slip indicator light to inform the driver that slippage occurred.
When a communication malfunction with the hybrid vehicle control ECU is detected, TRAC and VSC are disabled. Also, TRAC and VSC are disabled when a DTC is stored.
When in VSC off mode, or TRAC and VSC are disabled, the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly displays "Traction Control Turned Off" and the VSC OFF indicator light illuminates to inform the driver.
PROCEDURE
1. |
BRAKE PROBLEM CHECK |
(a) Check whether the slip indicator light was illuminated when VSC did not operate.
OK:
The slip indicator light was illuminated.
HINT:
When a DTC is stored, the slip indicator light is illuminated and VSC does not operate due to the fail-safe function.
(b) Check whether the vehicle speed was 15 km/h (9 mph) or less when VSC did not operate.
OK:
The vehicle speed was 15 km/h (9 mph) or less.
HINT:
VSC does not operate when the vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or less.
(c) Check whether the vehicle was driven straight for a few seconds at 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
OK:
The vehicle was not driven straight for a few seconds at 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
HINT:
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, as steering sensor zero point calibration is not performed below 15 km/h (9 mph), VSC will not operate until the vehicle is driven straight for a few seconds at 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
OK |

4. |
CHECK AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION |
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Check that the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) has been installed properly.
Click here
OK:
The yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) is tightened to the specified torque.
The yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) is not installed in a tilted position.
OK |
OBTAIN YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT |
