LESSON 2: CHASSIS
Stability Assist Module
Stability Assist Module
The stability assist module simultaneously manages the anti-lock braking, traction control and engine control
systems to maintain vehicle control during deceleration and acceleration. The stability assist module signals the
Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) to open and close the appropriate solenoid valves when it detects:
•
An impending wheel lock.
•
Wheel spin.
•
Vehicle motion that is inconsistent with the driver's commands by comparing the driver's steering input and
brake application with the actual vehicle motion.
