0B, 11, 12ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ESP system on this vehicle incorporates the following functions:
–The ABS (anti-lock braking system). The main functions of the ABS system are electronic front and rear braking
distribution (EBD) by controlling rear wheel slip, and preventing the wheels from locking by controlling the slipping
of all four wheels.
–MSR (engine torque control). Traction control on the driven wheels under no load by limiting the engine braking.
–ASR (traction control). It limits skidding of the drive wheels during starting or acceleration phases by limiting the
engine torque and braking the wheel(s) which are skidding.
–ESP (electronic stability program). Electronic stability program limiting oversteer or understeer by braking certain
wheels and controlling the engine torque.
–CSV (understeer control). Specific control of situations involving pronounced understeer by significant vehicle
braking in conjunction with a specific dynamic stability program.
–AUTOMATIC LIGHTING OF HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS. Generation on the CAN network, for the UCH, of a
request for switching on the hazard warning lights in case of braking causing a very hard deceleration (according
to the legislation of the country).
–AUTOMATIC BRAKE LIGHTS SWITCH-ON. In the event of understeer control (CSV only), the ESP computer
switches on the brake lights, via a relay, to give warning of severe deceleration generated by the system (according
to national legislation).
The system also supplies the other computers with information on the vehicle speed via a wire connection for the
xenon bulbs, the radio and the electric sunroof, and via the multiplex network for the other computers. The ABS/ESP
computer provides the odometry for the instrument panel and navigation aid over the multiplex network.
IDENTIFICATION
From the outside, two factors distinguish an ABS unit from an ABS/ESP unit:
–The size of the units (the ABS/ESP unit is bigger than the ABS) unit. The ABS unit has 8 solenoid valves
and the ABS/ESP unit has 12.
–The number of computer tracks (the ABS computer has 26 tracks and the ABS/ESP computer has
46 tracks).
