What does ESC in a car mean?
1 Answers
ESC in a car refers to the Electronic Stability Control system, also known as the Driving Safety Supplement System. It is an active safety device in the vehicle's configuration. This system is an extension of the ABS and TBS functions, adding a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor to monitor the vehicle's movement during turns. Through the ECU, it controls the driving and braking forces of the front, rear, left, and right wheels to ensure lateral stability. The ESC consists of three main parts: sensors, an electronic control unit, and actuators. Its working principle involves the electronic control unit monitoring the vehicle's operating status and intervening in the engine and braking system.
