General Information: Notes

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander LS, FWDSECTION Notes

ASC (Active Skid Control System) has been installed.

  • The ASC system integrates the traction control function and skid control function.
  • When Traction control function detects the slip of the driving wheel (ex. during startup on slippery surfaces), it automatically applies the brakes to control the wheel slip ratios. At the same time, Traction control function reduces the engine output and prevents the wheel spin.
  • Skid control function responds to driving conditions and reduces the engine output and applies brake force to four wheels independently to control the vehicle behavior.
  • Fail-safe function assures the safety.
  • Serviceability improvement
  • For reduced wiring harnesses and secure data communication, the CAN* communication has been adopted as a tool of communication with another ECU.
NOTE:
  • *For more information about CAN (Controller Area Network), refer to GENERAL INFORMATION .
  • ABS and ASC are controlled by ASC-ECU.
