GF42.35-P-2000B ETS Braking Moment Control Circuit, Function

GF42.35-P-2000B ETS braking moment control circuit, function
- with CODE (212a) Electronic Traction System (ETS)

ETS braking moment control circuit, function:

The corresponding functions in the ASR/ETS/ESP hydraulic unit (A7/3) are controlled with the components of the electrical/electronic system.

The voltage of the ETS/SPS control module (N47-2) is supplied via the fuse and relay module (F1). fuse (f22) terminal 15 and fuse (f27) terminal 30.

The ETS control module receives input signals from the following components for the ETS and ABS function:
^ 4 speed sensors
^ Stop lamp switch
^ Brake fluid level switch
^ CAN messages from the control module: ME-SFI, ETC, transfer case and instrument cluster

In the ETS control module the input signals are conditioned into output signals for the following components:
^ Solenoid valves
^ Self-priming high-pressure/return pump (via relay)
^ ETS warning lamp
^ ABS MIL
^ ETS MIL
^ Low brake fluid level/parking brake/brake booster pressure indicator lamp
^ Warning buzzer

Based on the input signals the ETS control module decides which of the 4 operating modes
^ Normal mode
^ ABS control mode
^ Electronic brake booster pressure
^ ETS control mode
has to be engaged.

Normal mode
In this case there are no speed differences (which require a control mode). All solenoid valves in the ASR/ETS/ESP hydraulic unit (A7/3) are in the basic position, i.e. de-energized. This system is ready for braking.

This type of operation also applies if ETS and ABS switch to fault.

ABS control mode
The ETS/SPS control module (N47-2) recognizes from the speed signals that the criteria for ABS control exists. The appropriate solenoid valves are actuated by the ABS circuits in the ETS/SPS control module (N47-2).

The left and right front axle solenoid valves in the ASR/ETS/ESP hydraulic unit (A7/3) are actuated separately (individual control). The solenoid valves for rear axle on the left or right are actuated together for the ABS control process.

Electronic brake booster pressure
The slip of the rear wheels is monitored sensitively using the wheel speeds each time the vehicle is braked. The permissible rear axle slip values are prevented from being exceeded by actuating the appropriate solenoid valves in the hydraulic unit.

ETS control mode

It is absolutely essential for the driver to operate the accelerator pedal for the ETS control mode to function.

The speed signals are continuously processed in the ETS/SPS control module (N47-2).

As soon as a drive wheel tends to spin, the ETS/SPS control module (N47-2) actuates the self-priming high pressure/return pump

^ ABS function when off-road gear is engaged (LOW RANGE)
When the conditions (V<30 km/h and rough road recognition) are met, the increased tendency of the front wheels to lock is permitted by the ABS. This results in shorter stopping distances on loose ground off-road.
(A7/3m1), the appropriate switchover solenoid valve (A7/3y24 or A7/3y25) and inlet solenoid valve (A7/3y26 or A7/3y27) of pressure circuit 1 or 2 and the appropriate solenoid valves for the wheel brakes.
The ETS control mode is interrupted by operating the brake pedal. If the driver stops operating the brake pedal, ETS control mode is also switched off.
