Ebd (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) System; Important Notice - SSANGYONG Rodius 2013 Manual

2) EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) System

▶System description
As an add-on logic to the ABS base algorithm, EBD works in a range in which the intervention
thresholds for ABS control are not reached yet.
EBD ensures that the rear wheels are sensitively monitored for slip with respect to the front axle. If slip
is detected, the inlet valves for the rear wheels are switched to pressure hold to prevent a further
increase in pressure at the rear-wheel breaks, thus electronically reproducing
a pressure-reduction function at the rear-wheel brakes.
ABS features an enhanced algorithm which includes control of the brake force distribution between the
front and rear axles. This is called Electronic Brake Distribution. In an unloading car condition the brake
efficiency is comparable to the conventional system but for a fully loaded vehicle the efficiency of the
EBD system is higher due to the better use of rear axle braking capability.
▶Advantages
- Elimination of conventional proportioning valve EBD utilizes the existing rear axle wheel speed
sensor to monitor rear wheel slip.
- Based on many variables in algorithm a pressure hold, increase and/or decrease pulsetrain may
be triggered at the rear wheels insuring vehicle stability.
- Vehicle approaches the ideal brake force distribution (front to rear).
- Constant brake force distribution during vehicle lifetime.
- EBD function is monitored via ABS safety logic (conventional proportioning valves are not
monitorable).

3) Important Notice

The modulators for production line are not filled with the brake fluid (dry type). But, for after service, they
1.
are filled with the brake fluid (wet type).
2. Make sure to keep the procedures in service manual when bleeding the air from the brake lines.
3. Be familiar with the lamp ON conditions to provide the correct information and reliability to customers.
ECU monitors the valve and motor for ABS when the vehicle speed approaches 5 km/h. At this time,
you can hear the clattering noise.
