Subaru VDC System

How VDC with TCS Senses and Controls

An added feature to the full-time security of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, VDC with TCS engages when needed. A control module analyzes the current driving situation by monitoring vehicle speed, throttle opening, gear position, lateral G force, yaw rate, brake pedal pressure, and steering wheel angle. Based on the data from these sources, a computer coordinates control of torque distribution, engine output, and the Antilock Brake System to help maintain vehicle stability.
