• Side slip or tail slip may occur while driving on a slippery road or intending an urgent evasive driving. ESP/

VDC function detects side slip status using each sensor when side slip or tail slip is about to occur and
improves vehicle stability by brake control and engine output control during driving.

• In addition to ABS function, EBD function and TCS function, target side slip amount is calculated according

to steering operation amount from steering angle sensor and brake operation amount from brake pressure
sensor. By comparing this information with vehicle side slip amount that is calculated from information from
yaw rate/side/decel G sensor and wheel sensor, vehicle driving conditions (conditions of understeer or over-
steer) are judged and vehicle stability is improved by brake force control on all 4 wheels and engine output
control.

• ESP/VDC function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating ESP/VDC OFF switch. In

this case, ESP/VDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON.

• Control unit portion automatically improves driving stability by performing brake force control as well as

engine output control, by transmitting drive signal to actuator portion according to difference between target
side slip amount and vehicle side slip amount 

• ESP/VDC warning lamp blinks while ESP/VDC function is in operation and indicates to the driver that the

function is in operation.

• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in ESP/VDC function, the control is suspended for

ESP/VDC function, TCS function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, Brake assist function, hill
start assist function and Brake force distribution function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models
without ESP/VDC function, TCS function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, Brake assist func-
tion, hill start assist function and Brake force distribution function. However, ABS function and EBD function
are operated normally. Refer to

• By preventing wheel lock through brake force (brake fluid pressure) control that is electronically controlled by

detecting wheel speed during braking, stability during emergency braking is improved so that obstacles can
be easily bypassed by steering operation.

• During braking, control units calculates wheel speed and pseudo-vehicle speed, and transmits pressure

increase, hold or decrease signals to actuator portion according to wheel slip status.

• The following effects are obtained by preventing wheel lock during

braking.

- Vehicle tail slip is prevented during braking when driving straight.
- Understeer and oversteer tendencies are moderated during brak-

ing driving on a corner.

- Obstacles may be easily bypassed by steering operation during

braking.

• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in ABS

function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function,
ABS function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, Brake
assist function, hill start assist function and Brake force distribution
function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without
VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, Brake limited slip differ-

tion and Brake force distribution function. However, EBD function
is operated normally. Refer to 

BRC-21, "Fail-Safe"

.

NOTE:
• ABS has the characteristic as described here, This is not the

device that helps reckless driving.

• To stop vehicle efficiently, ABS does not operate and ordinary

brake operates at low speed [approx. 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less, but
differs subject to road conditions).

• Self-diagnosis is performed immediately after when engine starts and when vehicle initially is driven [by vehi-

cle speed approx. 15 km/h (9 MPH)]. Motor sounds are generated during self-diagnosis. In addition, brake
pedal may be felt heavy when depressing brake pedal lightly. These symptoms are not malfunctions.

• By preventing rear wheel slip increase through rear wheel brake force (brake fluid pressure) control that is

electronically controlled when slight skip on front and rear wheels are detected during braking, stability dur-
ing braking is improved.

SYSTEM

• EBD function is expanded and developed from conventional ABS function and corrects rear wheel brake

force to appropriate level by electronic control according to load weight (number of passengers).

• During braking, control unit portion compares slight slip on front

and rear wheels by wheel speed sensor signal, transmits drive sig-
nal to actuator portion when rear wheel slip exceeds front wheel
slip for the specified value or more, and controls rear wheel brake
force (brake fluid pressure) so that increase of rear wheel slip is
prevented and slips on front wheel and rear wheel are nearly
equalized. ABS control is applied when slip on each wheel
increases and wheel speed is the threshold value of ABS control or
less.

• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in EBD

function, the control is suspended for ESP/VDC function, TCS
function, ABS function, EBD function, Brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function, Brake assist function, hill start assist function and
Brake force distribution function. The vehicle status becomes the
same as models without ESP/VDC function, TCS function, ABS
function, EBD function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) func-
tion, Brake assist function, hill start assist function and Brake force
distribution function. Refer to 

BRC-21, "Fail-Safe"

BRAKE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (BLSD) FUNCTION

BRAKE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (BLSD) FUNCTION : System Description

INFOID:0000000010329794

• LH and RH driving wheel spin is always monitored. If necessary, appropriate brake force is independently

applied to LH or RH driving wheel so that one-sided wheel spin is avoided and traction is maintained. Mainly
starting ability is improved.

• Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function operates while ESP/VDC function is in non-operational status

(OFF) by ESP/VDC OFF switch.

• VDC warning lamp blinking while Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function is in operation and indicates

to the driver that the function is in operation.

• Slight vibrations are felt on the Brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when Brake limited slip differen-

tial (BLSD) function operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by Brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function that is normally operated.

• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function,

the control is suspended for ESP/VDC function, TCS function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function,
Brake assist function, hill start assist function and Brake force distribution function. The vehicle status
becomes the same as models without ESP/VDC function, TCS function, Brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function, Brake assist function, hill start assist function and Brake force distribution function. How-
ever, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally. Refer to
