What Causes the Vehicle Stability Control System Indicator to Light Up?
1 Answers
It may be that the electronic stability program (ESP) has been turned off. The ESP consists of the following four components: 1. Sensors: including steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, acceleration sensors, and sensors for the steering wheel, throttle, and brake pedals. These sensors are responsible for collecting data on the vehicle's status. 2. ESP computer: It calculates the data collected by the sensors to determine the vehicle's status and compares it with pre-set data in the memory. When the computer calculates that the data exceeds the pre-stored values in the memory, indicating that the vehicle is nearing or has already lost control, it commands the actuator to work to ensure the vehicle's driving state aligns as much as possible with the driver's intentions. 3. Actuator: The ESP's actuator is the braking system of the four wheels. Unlike vehicles without ESP, vehicles equipped with ESP have a braking system with pressure accumulation capability. 4. Communication device: The ESP light on the dashboard serves mainly as a warning to prevent safety accidents.
