System Outline

This system is composed of the VSA modulator-control unit, the wheel speed sensors, the steering angle sensor, and the yaw rate-lateral/longitudinal acceleration sensor, and the system indicators in the gauge control module. The VSA modulator-control unit controls the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), the Traction Control System (TCS), the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), the Hill Start Assist (HSA), trailer stability assist, and brake assist with the brake pressure of each wheel and the engine torque.
