Optimum driving safety now has a name: ESP, the Electronic Stability Program.
ESP recognizes critical driving conditions, such as panic
reactions in dangerous situations, and stabilizes the vehicle by
wheel-individual braking and engine control intervention.
ESP adds a further function known as Active Yaw Control (AYC)
to the ABS, TCS, EBD and EDC functions. Whereas the ABS/TCS function
controls wheel slip during braking and acceleration and, thus, mainly
intervenes in the longitudinal dynamics of the vehicle, active yaw
control stabilizes the vehicle about its vertical axis.
This is achieved by wheel individual brake intervention and
adaptation of the momentary engine torque with no need for any action to
be taken by the driver.
ESP essentially consists of three assemblies: the sensors, the electronic control unit and the actuators.
The stability control feature works under all driving and
operating conditions. Under certain driving conditions, the ABS/TCS
function can be activated simultaneously with the ESP function in
response to a command by the driver.
In the event of a failure of the stability control function, the basic safety function, ABS, is still maintained.
Description of ESP Control
ESP system includes ABS/EBD, TCS and AYC function.
ABS/EBD function The ECU changes the active sensor signal (current shift) coming from the four wheel sensors to the square wave.
By using the input of above signals, the ECU calculates the
vehicle speed and the acceleration & deceleration of the four
wheels.
And, the ECU judges whether the ABS/EBD should be actuated or not.
TCS function prevents the wheel slip of drive direction by
adding the brake pressure and engine torque reduction via CAN
communication.
TCS function uses the wheel speed sensor signal to determine the wheel slip as far as ABS function.
AYC function prevents unstable maneuver of the vehicle. To
determine the vehicle maneuver, AYC function uses the maneuver sensor
signals(Yaw Rate Sensor, Lateral Acceleration Sensor, Steering Wheel
Angle Sensor).
If vehicle maneuver is unstable (Over Steer or Under Steer),
AYC function applies the brake pressure on certain wheel, and send
engine torque reduction signal by CAN.
After the key-on, the ECU continually diagnoses the system failure. (Self-diagnosis)
If the system failure is detected, the ECU informs driver of
the system failure through the BRAKE/ABS/ESP warning lamp. (fail-safe
warning)

Operation
The on/off booster builds up a pressure of approx. 10 bar in
order to enable the ESP 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. |

When braking, the hydraulic pressure in the TMC is increased.
The pressure reaches the wheel brake via the current less open inlet
valve IV. The current less closed outlet valve OV is closed. For the
sake of simplicity the diagram is limited to only the solenoid valve
pair of one brake circuit. The wheel speed is reduced as the brake
pressure increases, in the extreme case until the wheel locks. |

If the wheel speed decreases, there is still a tendency to
lock; the brake pressure on the corresponding wheel must be reduced
accordingly. For this, the outlet valve OV is opened, the inlet valve IV
remains closed.
The brake pressure to the low-pressure accumulator is reduced. The wheel in danger of locking gains speed again. |

When a wheel (or several) tends to lock the inlet valve IV is
first closed to avoid a further increase in brake pressure. The outlet
valve OV remains closed: the brake pressure is kept constant. |

For optimum brake from the certain wheel acceleration a brake
pressure increase is necessary. For this, the inlet valve IV is opened
and the outlet valve OV is closed. The pump of the unit starts to run
and aspirates the necessary quantity of fluid from the Low-pressure
accumulator, in order to produce the necessary brake pressure for the
pressure increase phase in seconds.
With an increase in the brake pressure the wheel speed is
reduced. These control phases are repeated until the ABS control unit no
longer detects any tendency of the wheels to lock.
During ABS control function, the brake pedal only moves in
accordance with the volume requirement of the wheels. Because of a
sudden change in friction coefficient this pedal movement may increase
slightly. |
