OVERVIEW AND OPERATION PROCESS
1. SUMMARY
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) recognizes critical driving conditions, such as panic reactions
in dangerous situations, and stabilizes the vehicle by wheel-individual braking and engine
control intervention with no need for actuating the brake. This system is developed to help the
driver avoid the danger of losing the control of the vehicle stability due to under-steering or over-
steering during cornering. The yaw rate sensor, lateral sensor and longitudinal sensor in the
sensor cluster and the steering wheel angle sensor under the steering column detect the spin
present at any wheels during over-steering, under-steering or cornering. The ESP ECU controls
against over-steering or under-steering during cornering by controlling the vehicle stability using
the input values from the sensors and applying the brakes independently to the corresponding
wheels. The system also controls during cornering by detecting the moment right before the
spin and automatically limiting the engine output (coupled with the ASR system).
