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 ).

ABS, EBD and BA Systems

Malfunction Area	Control Method
ABS system	ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited
BA system	ABS, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited
EBD system	ABS, EBD, BA, TRAC and VSC control prohibited

TRAC and VSC Systems

Malfunction Area	Control Method
Engine control system (TRAC system)	Before control: Disables control During control: Uses only the brakes to perform control
Brake control system (VSC system)	Before control: Disables control During control: Uses only the engine to perform control
Brake control system (TRAC system)	Before control: Disables control During control: Disables control (by gradually ending control)
