ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WITH TRACTION CONTROL



This vehicle uses the Continental Teves MK25e electronic brake control system. The system includes ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), EVBP (Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning), TCS (Traction Control System), BAS (Brake Assist System), ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program). All six systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions and are commonly referred to as ESP. ESP is standard

The electronic brake control system uses the following components to operate:

  • Integrated Control Unit (ICU) – The ICU is a combination of the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC) and the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (4)
  • Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS) - Four sensors (one at each wheel)
  • Dynamics Sensor – The Dynamics Sensor includes a yaw rate sensor, (The Dynamics Sensor is located under the center console near the center of the vehicle).
  • lateral accelerometer and, on 4x4 vehicles with a low range transfer case (245 T-Case), a longitudinal accelerometer.
  • Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) – The SAS is part of the clock spring assembly in the steering column.
  • Brake Pressure Sensor – The brake pressure sensor is located in the HCU and is not serviceable separate from the HCU.

ALL-SPEED TRACTION CONTROL

The TCS is an all-speed traction control system that functions up to the maximum allowed vehicle speed. TCS enhances vehicle stability and mobility by reducing wheel spin when accelerating on slippery surfaces. TCS controls wheel spin by applying the brakes and/or reducing engine power.
