Fundamental ABS systems
Antilock Brake Systems address two conditions
related to brake application; wheel lockup and
vehicle directional control.
a single set of
solenoids:
• pressure holding
solenoid.
• pressure reduction
solenoid.
Pressure Holding Valve
Pressure Reduction Valve
ABS – Hydraulic Components
• Brake calipers
• Lines / hoses
• Hydraulic
control unit
• Master cylinder
Wheel sensors
- individually monitors each wheel’s speed without
physical contact
- recognizes wheel speeds from close to zero r.p.m.
- detects the direction of the wheel’s rotation
What are the components of ESP?
The gyro meter/accelerometer sensor
It is located under the rear bench seat in the center of the body.
The yaw rate is the speed of rotation of the vehicle around its
vertical centerline
The lateral acceleration is subjected in a sideway direction (Lateral).
It is both a yaw rate and a lateral acceleration sensor.
What are the components of ESP?
THE ADDITIONAL REGULATION UNIT(ARU)
Examples:
Avoiding an obstacle
Sudden wrenching of the steering wheel
Driving on varying road surfaces
(Longitudinal
and/or lateral changes)
In what situations is ESP needed?
Avoiding an obstacle
1) Hit the brakes, wrench the steering wheel: Vehicle tends to under-steer
2) ESP brakes the left rear wheel, vehicle obeys steering-wheel input
3) Reverse steering input: When the vehicle tends to oversteer, the ESP
brakes the front right wheel
4) Vehicle becomes stable again
In what situations is ESP needed?
When sudden wrenching of the steering wheel
