Electronic Stability Control (ESC ) Operation

ESC OPERATION MODE

1. ESC Non-operation-Normal braking.





Operation

In this position, the inlet valve and the TCS valve are open, the electrically operated shuttle valve and the outlet valve are closed.
* ESV: Electric reversing valve.





2. ESC operation





Operation

The on/off booster builds up a pressure of approximately 10 bar in order to enable the ESC pump to suck brake fluid at low temperatures. In this position, the inlet valve is driven in a pulsed cycle. The TCS valve is closed. The outlet valve remains closed. The electrically operated shuttle valve is opened. The hydraulic pressure is led to the wheel brakes which are to be applied for a brief period of time.








ABS WARNING LAMP MODULE

The active ABS warning lamp module indicates the self-test and failure status of the ABS. The ABS warning lamp shall be on:
^ During the initialization phase after SIGN ON. (continuously 3 seconds).
^ In the event of inhibition of ABS functions by failure.
^ During diagnostic mode.
^ When the ECU Connector is separated from ECU.

EBD WARNING LAMP MODULE

The active EBD warning lamp module indicates the self-test and failure status of the EBD. However, in case the Parking Brake Switch is turned on, the EBD warning lamp is always turned on regardless of EBD functions.The EBD warning lamp shall be on:
^ During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3 seconds).
^ When the Parking Brake Switch is ON or brake fluid level is low.
^ When the EBD function is out of order.
^ During diagnostic mode.
^ When the ECU Connector is separated from ECU.

ESC WARNING LAMP (ESC SYSTEM)

The ESC warning lamp indicates the self-test and failure status of the ESC.
The ESC warning lamp is turned on under the following conditions:
^ During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3 seconds).
^ In the event of inhibition of ESC functions by failure.
^ When driver turn off the ESC function by on/off switch.
^ During diagnostic mode.

ESC FUNCTION LAMP (ESC SYSTEM)

The ESC function lamp indicates the self-test and operating status of the ESC.
The ESC Function lamp operates under the following conditions:
^ During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3 seconds).
^ When the ESC control is operating. (Blinking - 2Hz)

ESC ON/OFF SWITCH (ESC SYSTEM)

The ESC On/Off Switch shall be used to toggle the ESC function between On/Off states based upon driver input. The On/Off switch shall be a normally open, momentary contact switch. Closed contacts switch the circuit to ignition.

Initial status of the ESC function is on and switch toggle the state.
