System Description

SYSTEM DIAGRAM

  • Side slip or tail slip may occur while driving on a slippery road or intending urgent evasive driving. VDC function detects side slip status using each sensor when side slip or tail slip is about to occur and improves Nissan Murano vehicle stability by brake control and engine output control during driving.

  • In addition to ABS function, EBD function and TCS function, target side slip amount is calculated according to steering operation amount from steering angle sensor and brake operation amount from brake pressure sensor. By comparing this information with Nissan Murano vehicle side slip amount that is calculated from information from yaw rate/side/decel G sensor and wheel sensor, Nissan Murano vehicle driving conditions (conditions of understeer or oversteer) are judged and vehicle stability is improved by brake force control on all wheels and engine output control.

  • VDC function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating VDC OFF switch. In this case, VDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON.

  • Control unit portion automatically improves driving stability by performing brake force control as well as engine output control, by transmitting drive signal to actuator portion according to difference between target side slip amount and Nissan Murano vehicle side slip amount

  • VDC warning lamp blinks while VDC 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 VDC function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, brake assist function, hill start assist function and brake force distribution function. The Nissan Murano vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, brake assist function and hill start assist function. However, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally. Refer to Fail-Safe.

  • Engine speed signal

  • Engine torque signal

Mainly receives the following signal from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication:

  • Engine torque request signal

TCM

Mainly transmits the following signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication:

  • Current gear position signal

Combination meter

Mainly receives the following signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication:

  • Brake fluid level switch signal

  • Parking brake switch signal

Mainly receives the following signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication:

  • VDC warning lamp signal

  • VDC OFF indicator lamp signal

Steering angle sensor

Mainly transmits the following signals to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication:

  • Steering angle sensor signal

  • Steering angle sensor malfunction signal

OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS

VDC Function That Prevents Oversteer Tendency

  • During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the outer side of turn. Momentum directing towards the outer side of turn is generated. Oversteer is prevented.

  • Changing driving lane on a slippery road when oversteer tendency is judged large, engine output is controlled as well as brake force (brake fluid pressure) of 4 wheels. Oversteer tendency decreases.

VDC Function That Prevents Understeer Tendency

  • During cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressure) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the inner side of turn. Momentum directing towards the inner side of turn is generated. Understeer is prevented.

  • Applying braking during cornering on a slippery road when understeer tendency is judged large, engine output is controlled as well as brake force (brake fluid pressure) of four wheels. Understeer tendency decreases.

    Nissan Murano. Fuel gauge

    The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank.

    The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.

    The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
