Electronic – Kinetic Dynamic Suspension (E-KDSS) | New Training Module

Mass transfer, or body roll during a cornering event, causes the vehicle’s sprung mass to lean towards the outside of the turn. Too much or too little transfer of this vehicle weight results in an unwanted condition known as “understeer” or “oversteer”. 

Active suspension systems that are fitted to vehicles attempt to find a balance between these two scenarios, providing the driver with the optimum level of handling and comfort in all operating conditions.

In the latest addition to our training course on Advanced Suspension Technology, we take an in-depth look at the E-KDSS (Electronic – Kinetic Dynamic Suspension) system, as used on Toyota vehicles.

The topics covered in this training module include:

• The differences between traditional KDSS and E-KDSS systems
• Hydraulic actuation and control of anti roll bars
• ECU control of electronic actuators and their associated hydraulic circuits

This module will be the latest addition to our growing library of over 350 technical training videos, covering the following key areas:

Electrical   |   Engine   |   Chassis   |   Drivetrain   |   Driver Assist
HVAC   |   Diagnostics   |   Servicing   |   Hybrid & Electric Vehicles
