What does ESC in cars stand for?
1 Answers
ESC in cars stands for Electronic Stability Control, which is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle. It is also an extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). ESC primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure stable driving. The ESC system consists of three main components: sensors, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators. The working principle of ESC involves the ECU monitoring the vehicle's operating conditions and intervening in the engine and braking system. The ESC system automatically activates only when the vehicle is in an unstable condition.
