System Description
- Electronic Brake force Distribution detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling brake fluid pressure which results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
- If the electrical system malfunction, fail-safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inoperative, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned ON.
- Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
- During EBD operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
- Just after starting the vehicle after the ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
- Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without EBD when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
