Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

This system enhances directional control and stability of

the vehicle under various driving conditions. The ESC

corrects for over/under steering of the vehicle by apply-

ing the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in

counteracting the over/under steer condition. Engine

power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain

the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle

path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual

path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match

the intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appro-

priate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or

understeer condition.
