System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicle dynamic control system detects driver's steering operation amount from the steering angle sensor. Using input information from the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor and wheel speed sensors, the VDC system judges driving conditions (conditions of under steer and over steer) and controls engine output and brake application to improve vehicle driving stability.
During VDC operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
