Fail Safe System

Fail-Safe
ABS SYSTEM
If a malfunction occurs in electrical system, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp in combination meter turn ON. In this condition, the fail-safe function puts VDC/TCS/ABS and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) into one of the following conditions.

1. Only EBD operates. Same condition as that of models without VDC/TCS/ABS.
2. VDC/TCS/ABS and EBD do not operate. All 4 wheels operate as normal brakes.

NOTE: In step 1 shown above, self-diagnosis when ignition switch is turned ON and when vehicle starts at initial time is carried out. ABS self-diagnosis noise may be heard as usual.

VDC/TCS SYSTEM
If a malfunction occurs in electrical system, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp in combination meter turn on. In this condition, VDC/TCS will be deactivated and it becomes equal to that of models without VDC/TCS. However, ABS is controlled normally.

If a malfunction occurs in engine control system, VDC/TCS control will be deactivated and only ABS control will operate normally.

CAUTION: If fail-safe mode is initiated, carry out self-diagnosis for VDC/TCS/ABS control system.
