What is the function of car ESP?
1 Answers
Car ESP is the Electronic Stability Program, a type of traction control system. Below are the relevant introductions about ESP: Components: The ESP system consists of a control unit and steering sensors (monitoring the steering angle of the steering wheel), wheel sensors (monitoring the speed rotation of each wheel), skid sensors (monitoring the state of the vehicle's rotation around the vertical axis), lateral acceleration sensors (monitoring the centrifugal force during car turns), etc. Function: ESP not only controls the driving wheels but also the driven wheels. For example, in the case of oversteering, which is common in rear-wheel-drive cars, where the rear wheels lose control and the car fishtails, ESP will brake the outer front wheel to stabilize the vehicle. In the case of understeering, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel, thereby correcting the driving direction.
