Imaginary Roll Damper Control
To effect this control, the stroke information of the shock absorbers is calculated based on the information
from the 3 acceleration sensors and a steering angle sensor. Thus, the driving conditions of the vehicle are
detected.
Changes the damping force to control the vehicle posture during cornering. As a result, excellent stability
and controllability have been realized during cornering. This control assumes that two types of shock
absorbers, (one for restraining roll and the other for restraining lift) are provided at an imaginary point on
the inside of the turn of the vehicle. The function of these shock absorbers is to prevent the center of gravity
of the vehicle from rising.
The damping force of the front and rear shock absorbers is controlled in order to control the vehicle’s
posture as in this imaginary condition.

Diagnosis
When the absorber control ECU detected a malfunction, the absorber control ECU makes a DTC (Diagnosis
Trouble Code) of that malfunction is stored in memory.
– Changes –
The method for erasing the DTCs has been changed as follows (the DTCs on the ’01 ES300 were erased
by turning the ignition switch OFF):
Using the SST (09843-18040), short terminals Tc and CG of DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and
press the brake pedal 8 or more times within approximately 5 seconds.
The DTCs can also be erased through the use of a hand-held tester.
The DLC1 has been discontinued.
M-OBD (Multiplex On-Board Diagnosis) system has been adopted. This system can output 5-digit DTC
to the hand-held tester, which are more detailed than the previous 2-digit DTC.

AXLE
1. Front Axle
The front axle use a double-row angular ball bearing which offers low rolling resistance.
A lock nut (12-point) has been adopted and staked for tightening the axle hub in order to ensure the
tightening performance.
This nut cannot reused.
A lead-free material is used in the front axle hub to address environmental concerns.
2. Rear Axle
The rear axle use a double-row angular ball bearing which offers low rolling resistance.
Part of the inner race is integrated with the shaft, thus optimizes the high rigidity.

9. Skid Control ECU
VSC
Based on the 4 type of sensor signals received from the speed sensors, yaw rate sensor, deceleration sensor
and steering sensor, the skid control ECU calculates the amount of vehicle condition.
If a strong understeer or oversteer tendency is created during an emergency avoidance maneuver or
cornering, and the skid control ECU determines that the amount of vehicle condition exceeds a prescribed
value, it controls the engine torque through throttle and the brake fluid pressure according to the amount
of the vehicle condition.
*: The wheel cylinder that activates varies depending on the condition of the vehicle.
Initial Check
After the ignition is turned ON, and the vehicle attains an approximate speed of 6 km / h (4 mph) or more
only at first time, the skid control ECU performs the initial check.
The functions of each solenoid valve and pump motor in the brake actuator are checked in order.
