Mitsubishi Outlander (2013+). Manual - part 66

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-17

When brake fluid pressure is increased by normal braking or ABS

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

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-18

When brake fluid pressure is increased by stability control (or increased by TCL)

The system closes the cut valve to block the pas-
sage from the pump outlet to the master cylinder, 
and opens the suction valve, connecting the passage 
from the master cylinder to the pump inlet. The brake 
fluid from the master cylinder is supplied to the wheel 
cylinder.

VALVE CONDITION

NOTE: 

*

 The inlet valve and the outlet valve close or 

open depending on driving conditions to control the 
brake fluid pressure at each wheel.

When brake fluid pressure is held by stability control, TCL or HSA (Hill Start Assist) 
function

The system closes the cut valve, suction valve and 
outlet valve to hold the brake fluid pressure in the 
wheel cylinder.

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-20

When brake fluid pressure is decreased by stability control (or decreased by TCL)

The system opens the outlet valve while closing the 
inlet valve to store the brake fluid filled in the wheel 
cylinder in the low pressure accumulator. The brake 
fluid stored in the low pressure accumulator returns 
to the master cylinder through the suction valve.

VALVE CONDITION

NOTE: 

*

 The inlet valve and the outlet valve close or 

open depending on driving conditions to control the 
brake fluid pressure at each wheel.

TCL OPERATION

ASC-ECU receives various kinds of information from 
the engine-ECU, 4WD-ECU, steering wheel sensor, 
G & yaw rate sensor, CVT-ECU, and wheel speed 
sensor. When ASC-ECU determines that the driving 
wheel is slipping, it suppresses the wheel slippage. 
At this time, ASC-ECU controls the brake fluid pres-

sure of the driving wheel determined to be slipping 
so that the torque is transferred to another driving 
wheel. Basically, the operations of ABS solenoid 
valve and ASC valve are the same. ASC-ECU, the 
engine-ECU, and CVT-ECU communicate with each
