Active Skid Control System (ASC)

ACTIVE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

GENERAL INFORMATION

ASC (Active Skid Control System) has been installed.
^ The ASC system integrates the traction control function and skid control function.
^ When Traction control function detects the slip of the driving wheel (ex. during start-up on slippery surfaces), it automatically applies the brakes to control the wheel slip ratios. At the same time, Traction control function reduces the engine output and prevents the wheel spin.
^ Skid control function responds to driving conditions and reduces the engine output and applies brake force to four wheels independently to control the vehicle behavior.
^ Fail-safe function assures the safety.
^ Serviceability improvement
^ For reduced wiring harnesses and secure data communication, the CAN*communication has been adopted as a tool of communication with another ECU.

NOTE:
^ *For more information about CAN (Controller Area Network), refer to Computer and Control Systems.
^ ABS and ASC are controlled by ASC-ECU.
