force).
Oversteer/understeer
(if the vehicle is steady on its driver-intended path, if there is adverse yaw
creating an oversteer-fishtailing event, or an understeer-‘plowing’ event).
Yaw rate
(yaw/Z-axis rotation
rate).
TCS torque request
(engine torque as requested by the traction control system, during wheel-slip,
you will see this PID showing that TCS is requesting torque reduction).
Brake apply pressure
(how much
brake fluid pressure is being applied to the brake calipers, whether it be by the driver pressing the brake
pedal, or the ABS module applying brake pressure during a TCS/ESC event).
In similar fashion to the engine data display page, the vehicle dynamics page also records peak records
that can be recalled by pressing the
“RECORDS”
icon, and cleared by pressing the
“RESET”
icon on the
vehicle dynamics records page
Launch Control
– This is found on page 3 of the AutoSync main menu. This does not work on 2017+
vehicles, sorry. This exclusive feature uses the ABS module to act as a ‘smart’ line-lock/automatic launch
control feature. The vehicle should be in 4-wheel-drive, and have
the brake pedal firmly applied before
activating
. Follow the on-screen instructions, and when you are ready to activate it, press the cruise
control “SET” button.
You will hear the ABS motor run for ~2 seconds and feel some vibration in the brake pedal and you
may see an ABS warning light; this is normal.
When the ABS motor stops running, the launch control braking is fully charged. An on-screen
countdown (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) will display, and you can release the brake pedal and bring the engine RPM’s up
to ~2200rpm. When the countdown hits 0, the ABS module will immediately dump brake pressure and
launch the truck.
You can also manually release brake pressure and force-launch the truck at any time during
the countdown by pressing the cruise control “RESUME” button.
NOTE: It is strongly advisable to NOT use launch control repeatedly, and you should allow
several minutes’ cool-down time for the ABS pump motor and ABS solenoids between launch
