CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION

TSB Revision

ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-13

EXAMPLE OF TCL CONTROL

When the driving wheels slip on the slippery road 
surface, TCL applies the brake automatically, sends 
the signal requesting engine speed reduction to the 
engine control module, and prevents the loss of driv-
ing force resulting from the slippage of driving wheel.

FAIL-SAFE AND DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS

ASC-ECU constantly monitors the input and output 
signals. If a malfunction is detected in the system, 
ASC-ECU sends a fail signal to illuminate or flash the 
corresponding warning light or warning display. At 
the same time, ASC-ECU prohibits the relevant con-
trol depending on the trouble symptom.
Also, ASC-ECU has the following functions to facili-
tate the system checks.

• Diagnostic trouble code set

• Service data output

• Actuator test

All the above items can be checked using scan tool.

.

Calibration

After ASC-ECU, G and yaw rate sensor, and steering 
wheel sensor have been replaced with new ones, 
calibration must be performed using scan tool

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

SKID CONTROL OPERATION

ASC-ECU receives various kinds of information from 
the engine control module, TC-SST-ECU, 
S-AWC-ECU, ETACS-ECU, steering wheel sensor, 
G and yaw rate sensor, and wheel speed sensor. 
When ECU determines that the vehicle has an over-
steer or understeer tendency based on the signal 
sent from these sensors, ASC-ECU drives each 
valve and pump motor to control the braking force of 
each wheel.
When the system increases the fluid pressure auto-
matically, it closes the cut valve to shut off the pres-
sure line to the suction valve, and drives the pump 
motor. For example, when the vehicle has under-
steer while turning to the right, ASC-ECU supplies 
the brake fluid from the pump to rear right wheel to 
generate the braking force to the rear right wheel.

ASC-ECU, engine control module, TC-SST-ECU, 
and S-AWC-ECU communicate with each other via 
CAN. When the accelerator pedal is depressed too 
far, a signal requesting the reduction of engine output 
is sent to the engine control module. Depending on 
the situation, the AWD control level limitation signal 
is sent to S-AWC-ECU to secure the ASC controlla-
bility.

.

Brake fluid pressure reduction at ABS operation

The brake fluid supplied from the wheel cylinder is 

stored in the low pressure accumulator via the outlet 

valve. Then, the stored brake fluid is returned to the 

master cylinder with the driving of pump by the 

motor.

VALVE CONDITION

.

When brake fluid pressure is held by ABS

The system closes the inlet valve and outlet valve to 
hold the brake fluid pressure in the wheel cylinder. If 
the brake fluid is stored in the low pressure accumu-
lator, the brake fluid is returned to the master cylinder 
with the driving of pump by the motor.

When brake is normally applied or brake fluid pressure is increased by ABS

The system opens the inlet valve while closing the 
outlet valve to increase the brake fluid pressure in 
the wheel cylinder.
