  • Method for adjusting governor actuator in traction control system
    Patent number: 5490071
    Abstract: An ABS/TRC ECU 22, when an adjustment indicating signal is input thereto, reciprocates a governor actuator 21 to recognize a mechanical actuation range of the governor actuator 21. Also, the ABS/TRC ECU 22 sets a stroke lower limit position A of the governor actuator 21 in view of the amount of offset of the governor actuator depending on a vehicle, to thereby determine a servo position of a governor link 20 during maximum deceleration at the time of TRC corresponding to the position A. Then, the ABS/TRC ECU 22 adds the amount of effective stroke of the governor actuator 21 to the position A to set a stroke upper limit position B of the governor actuator 21 and determines a servo position of the governor link 20 during minimum deceleration at the time of TRC corresponding to the upper limit position. Data on positional control of the governor actuator 21 determined are stored in a memory of the ABS/TRC ECU 22.
