Oversteer Behavior Suppression

When the vehicle starts to spin during cornering, the VDC control module (VDCCM) actuates the brakes on the front and rear outer wheels. As a result, a yaw moment is generated in a direction that counteracts the yaw moment resulting from oversteer so that the vehicle's behavior is stabilized.
