What does it mean when the ESP warning light comes on in a BYD G5?
1 Answers
ESP is a traction control system. It is normal for all indicator lights, including warning lights, to illuminate for a few seconds during the computer's self-check after startup. Below is additional information about ESP: 1. Function: The ESP system is an important vehicle system that typically supports ABS and ASR functions. It analyzes vehicle driving state information from various sensors and then issues correction commands to ABS and ASR to help maintain dynamic balance. ESP can keep the vehicle optimally stable under various conditions, with particularly noticeable effects during oversteer or understeer situations. ESP generally requires the installation of steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, and lateral acceleration sensors. 2. Purpose: In addition to using the wheel speed sensors and hydraulic regulators of ABS and TCS, ESP also includes a yaw rate sensor integrated with a lateral acceleration sensor and a steering angle sensor. These two sensors are mainly responsible for measuring the vehicle's rotational motion around its longitudinal axis and recording the driver's steering intention. The wheel speed sensors measure the instantaneous speed of the wheels, the steering angle sensor records the driver's steering intention, and the yaw rate sensor and lateral acceleration sensor measure the vehicle's rotational motion around its longitudinal axis and centrifugal force.
