FAIL-SAFE CHART
- If there is a problem with sensor signals or actuator systems, the skid
control ECU prohibits power supply to the brake actuator assembly and informs
the ECM of a VSC system malfunction.
The brake actuator assembly turns off the solenoids and the ECM stops its VSC control according to signals from the skid control ECU. The vehicle will operate in a manner similar to a vehicle that is not equipped with ABS, TRAC and VSC systems.
ABS control will be prohibited, but EBD control will continue to the extent that EBD control is possible. If EBD control is impossible, the brake warning light will come on to warn the driver (See page

). - If a VSC system component malfunctions before VSC control begins, VSC
control will be prohibited.
If a system component malfunctions during VSC control, the system will gradually stop performing control so as not to trigger a sudden change in vehicle operation.
If it is impossible for control to continue, the warning light comes on to inform the driver of system control termination (See page
).
