Active Skid Control System (ASC)

GENERAL INFORMATION
Active Skid Control System (ASC) has been installed.
^ The ASC system integrates the traction control function and active skid control function.
^ When TCL detects the slip of the driving wheel (ex. during startup on low mu road), it automatically applies the brakes to the slipping driving wheel. At the same time, TCL reduces the engine output and prevents the wheel spin when it determines that the engine torque is too high for the road surface mu.
^ When the ASC determines that the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, it reduces the engine output and applies brake force to four wheels independently to control the vehicle behavior, avoiding the critical state.
^ Fail-safe function assures the security.
^ Serviceability improvement
^ For wiring harness saving and secure data communication, the CAN* communication has been adopted as a tool of communication with another ECU.

NOTE: The active skid control system (ASC) has the traction control function and the skid control function. By the integrated control with the anti-lock brake system, the system stabilises the vehicle attitude and at the same time secures the driving force.
