FAIL-SAFE CHART FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
- 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, secondary collision brake, VSC and
brake hold 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 system warning light
(red indicator) will come on to warn the driver.

- 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.

- If the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects that a system
related to the airbag system or the engine control system is
malfunctioning, it will prohibit operation of the secondary collision
brake in order to prevent further malfunctions and to protect the
systems.
- When a malfunction occurs in the VSC system or electric parking brake
system, brake hold control prohibits brake hold operation to prevent
incorrect operation and protect the system.
