TCS FUNCTION: System Description: Notes

2013 Infiniti M37 x SportSECTION Notes
  • Wheel spin status of drive wheel is detected by wheel sensor of 4 wheels. Engine output and transmission shift status is controlled so that slip rate of drive wheels is in appropriate level. When wheel spin occurs on drive wheel, ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) perform brake force control of LH and RH drive wheels (apply brake force by increasing brake fluid pressure of drive wheel) and decrease engine torque by engine torque control. Wheel spin amount decreases. Engine torque is controlled to appropriate level.
  • TCS function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating FDC OFF switch. In this case, FDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON.
  • FDC warning lamp blinks while TCS function is in operation and indicates to the driver that the function is in operation.
  • CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
  • Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in TCS function, the control is suspended for FDC function, TCS function, hill start assist function, Rise-up & Build-up function, Brake force distribution function and Active trace control function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without FDC function, TCS function, hill start assist function, Rise-up & Build-up function, Brake force distribution function and Active trace control function. However, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally. Refer to "FAIL-SAFEΒ ".
