current vehicles and the 12 valve unit has a 47-
way connector with lever cam. DSC calculates the
real vehicle motion (forward and gearing) and
compares it to the direction initially chosen by the
driver. A steering rate sensor is located on the
steering column and is used to calculate steering
angle. A yaw rate sensor and lateral accelerometer
are located on a bracket behind the hand brake
lever and are used to calculate the vehicle under
or over steer and any side slip.
As soon as DSC recognises that the driver is not
reacting sufficiently to compensate a deviation,
DSC intervenes by applying brake force to each of
the four wheels individually to control yaw
Front Wheel Sensor
The front wheel active ABS speed sensors are
incorporated into the wheel bearings, connected
via a flying lead routed along the brake hose.
Rear Wheel Sensor
The rear sensors are mounted on the hub carrier
and connected by a flying lead routed along the
control arm. None of the sensors are adjustable.
Wheel speed sensors are new active sensors,
which are more sensitive at lower speeds that the
current saloon and sports wheel speed sensors.
Front and Rear Callipers
Front callipers are twin piston aluminium
construction. The ventilated disc sizes are 300 mm
x 32 mm. The rear brakes have cast iron callipers.
This is because of the hand brake operation using
the rear callipers. The ventilated disc sizes are 288
mm x 20 mm. Each rear calliper has a ball and
ramp park brake mechanism, operating on the
main calliper pads.
