HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM Brake Override System
DESCRIPTION
When the vehicle is being driven with the accelerator pedal depressed, depressing the brake pedal without releasing the accelerator pedal will activate the brake override system to restrict driving torque. The conditions for activating the brake override system as well as the items that are controlled are explained below.
- Activation Conditions:
-
Vehicle is being driven at or above a specified speed.
-
The accelerator pedal is depressed beyond a specified level, and then the brake pedal is depressed.
Note
Brake override control may not be performed depending on the relationship between accelerator pedal angle and vehicle speed.
-
- Items Controlled:
-
Driving torque is restricted.
Tech Tips
During brake override system control, the value for the accelerator pedal angle (which is used for hybrid control) is forcibly reduced to a specified value. For this reason, the Data List value for Accelerator Degree (the value used for driving torque control) will be replaced with a specified value regardless of the actual accelerator pedal angle (Accel Pedal Pos #1, Accel Pedal Pos #2).
-
- Deactivation Conditions:
Deactivation occurs when either of the following conditions is met:
-
The master cylinder pressure decreases below a specified value.
-
The actual accelerator pedal angle increases or decreases beyond the specified range.
-
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
- Inspection Method
Drive at 10km/h (6.25mph), depress the accelerator pedal by 1/2 to 3/4 and keep it in that position. Under these conditions, if driving torque is controlled when the brake pedal is depressed by the left foot of the driver, it can be confirmed that the brake override system has operated.
CAUTION:
Perform this road test only in an appropriate safe location, in accordance with all local laws.
Pay careful attention to the surroundings when performing the road test.
Tech Tips
-
Under normal conditions, the Accelerator Degree value changes in response to the Accel Pedal Pos #1 value.
-
If the Data List values of Accelerator Degree and Accel Pedal Pos #1 do not match, and the value of Accel Pedal Pos #1 changes but the value of Accelerator Degree is constant, this confirms that the brake override system has operated. (Data can be captured relatively easily by using the snapshot function in Data List. Confirm the data after performing the road test.)
-
The brake override system restricts driving torque if the brake pedal is depressed when driving with the accelerator pedal depressed. If a customer reports experiencing a loss of power (driving torque) after the accelerator and brake pedals have both been intentionally depressed, explain that this is not a malfunction, and depressing both the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time should be avoided.
