Antilock Brake System (Abs) (Service Information): Description: Notes
NOTE:
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) may also be referred to as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) depending on the vehicle model year and configuration. Certain components may also reference ESP, ESC, or use the traction control symbol.
This vehicle uses an electronic brake control system designated MK100. This system includes Antilock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVPB) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). All of these systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions and are commonly referred to as ESC.
This system uses components of the base brake system, but also features the following components:
- Integrated Control Unit (ICU) - Includes Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (2) and Antilock Brake Module (ABM) (1)
- Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS) - Four sensors (one at each wheel)
- Dynamics Sensor - Includes a yaw rate sensor and a lateral accelerometer.
- Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) - The SAS is part of the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM).
- Brake Pressure Sensor - The brake pressure sensor is located in the HCU and is not serviceable separate from the HCU.
