HSA function state transition diagram (Overview)

NOTE: 

.

ASC-ECU judges the inclination angle of the slope according to the G and yaw rate sensor output.

When either of the following conditions is satisfied, the mode is shifted to the forcible termination mode, 
and HSA function control is terminated.

The parking brake operation is detected.

The shift lever operation to the shift or selector position other than the uphill direction driving is 

detected (Forward uphill driving: shift or selector position other than "D"

*

, Reverse uphill driving: shift 

or selector position other than "R").

The accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed at the same time.

The wheel speed sensor pulse is generated (When the vehicle moved) 

The engine is stopped by engine stall, etc.

*:When uphill driving, if shift position is "N" position, HSA function is operated 

HSA function control activated

ASC-ECU judges that the HSA operation condition is 
satisfied. When the driver releases the brake pedal, 
ASC-ECU maintains the brake wheel cylinder pres-
sure and waits.

FLUID PRESSURE HOLD MODE

By closing the cut valve, ASC-ECU maintains the 
brake wheel cylinder pressure of the time when the 
brake pedal is depressed, to prevent the vehicle from 
moving backward.

START MODE

ASC-ECU releases the brake wheel cylinder pres-
sure maintained by the cut valve, depending on the 
engine torque generated by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.

FORCIBLE TERMINATION MODE

ASC-ECU immediately releases the brake wheel cyl-
inder pressure maintained by the cut valve and termi-
nates HSA function control.

BRAKE ASSIST (BA) CONTROL

Operation description

• If an emergency brake is determined by the brake 

pedal depression speed and force, the brake 
assist works to increase the braking force the 
drivers produce. [The braking force is not 
increased more than the brake performance (the 
friction force between the road surface and the 
tyres) .]

• The brake assist is completed when the brake 

pedal is released or the vehicle is stopped.

The brake assist mechanism does not work when the 
ABS warning lamp illuminates.

FAIL-SAFE AND DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS

ASC-ECU constantly monitors the input and output 
signals. If an error is detected in the system, 
ASC-ECU sends a fail signal and the corresponding 
indicator lamp is illuminated or blinks. Various con-
trols are processed depending on the cause of mal-
function as shown below.
ASC-ECU has the following functions for easier sys-
tem checks.

• Diagnosis code set

• Service data output

• Actuator test

• Freeze frame data output

All the above items can be diagnosed using 
M.U.T.-III.

CALIBRATION

After the steering wheel sensor and hydraulic unit 
(integrated with ASC-ECU and G & yaw rate sensor) 
have been replaced with new ones, calibration must 
be performed using M.U.T.-III*.

NOTE: 

.

M.U.T.-III uses the ABS data list.

*: For calibration, refer to Workshop Manual.

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

STABILITY CONTROL OPERATION

ASC-ECU receives various kinds of information from 
the engine-ECU, 4WD-ECU, ETACS-ECU, 
CVT-ECU, steering wheel sensor, G & yaw rate sen-
sor, and wheel speed sensor. When ECU determines 
the vehicle runs in the oversteer or understeer direc-
tion based on the signal sent from these sensors, 
ASC-ECU drives each valve and pump motor and 
controls the braking force to be applied to the 
wheels.

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 runs in the 
oversteer direction while turning to the right, 
ASC-ECU supplies the brake fluid from the pump to 
the front left wheel to apply the braking force on it.
ASC-ECU, the engine ECU, and 4WD-ECU commu-
nicate with each other via CAN. When the accelera-
tor pedal is depressed too far, the signal requesting 
the engine output reduction is sent to the engine 
ECU. Depending on the situation, 4WD control 
amount limitation signal is sent to the ASC-ECU to 
secure the ASC controllability.

When brake fluid pressure decreases during ABS operation

The brake fluid supplied from the wheel cylinder is 
stored in the low pressure accumulator. Then, the 
stored brake fluid is returned to the master cylinder 
by driving the pump using 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 
by driving the pump using the motor.
