Circuit description

The brake override system suppresses the driving torque when the brake pedal is depressed with the accelerator pedal depressed while driving. The following describes the control operation condition and the control content.

Control operation condition

• When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain threshold.
• When both accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed.
  CAUTION: Depending on the relation of the accelerator pedal opening angle and speed, the control operation may not start.

Control content

• Driving torque suppression
  NOTE: When this control is established, the accelerator pedal opening angle used for the engine control is forcibly dropped to the constant value. For this reason, the accelerator pedal opening angle in the data monitor is rewritten into constant value regardless of actual accelerator pedal opening angle (accelerator sensor No. 1 voltage ratio).

Restoring condition

• When the stop light switch is turned to OFF or the accelerator opening angle returns by a specified amount or more.
