FAIL SAFE OPERATION

Fail-Safe Chart:

a. If there is a problem with sensor signals or actuator systems, the skid control ECU prohibits power supply to the ABS and TRACTION actuator and informs the ECM of VSC system failure. The ABS and TRACTION actuator turns off each solenoid and the ECM shuts off the VSC control (traction control signal) from the skid control ECU accordingly, which turns out to be as if the ABS, VSC and TRAC systems were not installed.

The ABS, VSC, and TRAC control will be prohibited, but EBD control continues as much as possible. If EBD control is impossible, the BRAKE warning light comes on to warn the driver.

HINT:
- A malfunction in either the ABS or BA system will result in identical operation, with ABS, BA, TRAC, and VSC system control prohibited.
- If control is prohibited due to a malfunction during operation, control will be disabled gradually. This is to avoid sudden vehicle instability.
