3. ESP SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Principle of ESP
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).
Understeering is when the steering wheel is 
steered to a certain angle during driving and 
the front tires slip toward the reverse 
direction of the desired direction. Generally,
vehicles are designed to have unde
r 
steering. The vehicle can return back to 
inside of cornering line when the steering
wheel is steered toward the inside even 
when the vehicle front is slipped outward. 
As 
the centrifugal force increases, the tires can 
easily lose the traction and the vehicle tends 
to slip outward when the curve angle gets 
bigger and the speed increases. Under steering
ESP controls during under steering
The ESP system recognizes the directional 
angle with the steering wheel angle senso
r 
and senses the slipping route that occurs 
reversely against the vehicle cornering 
direction during understeering with the yaw
rate sensor and the lateral sensor. Then the 
ESP system applies the brake at the rea
r 
inner wheel to compensate the yaw moment
value.
In this way, the vehicle does not lose its 
driving direction and the driver can steer the 
vehicle as driver intends.

Over steeringOversteering is when the steering wheel is 
steered to a certain angle during driving and 
the rear tires slip outward losing traction. 
When compared with under steering 
vehicles, the controlling of the vehicle is 
difficult during cornering and the vehicle can 
spin due to rear wheel moment when the 
rear tires lose traction and the vehicle speed
increases.
ESP controls during oversteering
The ESP system recognizes the directional 
angle with the steering wheel angle senso
r 
and senses the slipping route that occurs 
towards the vehicle cornering direction
during oversteering with the yaw rate senso
r 
and the lateral sensor. Then the ESP system 
applies the brake at the front outer wheel to 
compensate the yaw moment value.
In this way, the vehicle does not lose its 
driving direction and the driver can steer the 
vehicle as he or she intends.
2) ESP Control
The ESP system includes the ABS/EBD and ASR systems allowing the system to be able to 
operate depending to the vehicle driving conditions. For example, when the brakes are applied 
during cornering at the speed of 100 km/h, the ABS system will operate at the same time the 
ASR or ABD systems operate to reduce the power from the slipping wheel. And when yaw rate 
sensor detects the rate exceeding 4¡Æ/seconds, the ESP system  is activated  to apply  the 
brake force to the corresponding wheel to compensate the yaw moment with the vehicle 
stability control function. When various systems operate simultaneously under a certain 
situation, there may be vehicle control problems due to internal malfunction of a system o
r 
simultaneous operations. In order to compensate to this problem, the ESP system sets the 
priority among systems. The system operates in the order of TCS (ASR or ABD), ESP and 
ABS. The order may be changed depending on the vehicle driving situations and driving 
conditions. As the single-track vehicle model used for the calculations is only valid for a vehicle 
moving forward, ESP intervention never takes place during backup.

3) Vehicle Control During Cornering
The figure below shows the vehicle controls by ESP system under various situations such as 
when the brake pedal is pressed (or not pressed) during cornering and when the ABS is 
operating or when just the conventional brake is operating during braking. It also includes the 
vehicle conditions when the TCS that is included in the ESP system is operating.

4) HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist System)
(1) Purpose
HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist) system helps in an emergency braking situation when the driver 
applies the brake fast, but not with sufficient pressure, which leads to dangerously long braking 
distance. ECU recognizes the attempt at full braking and transmits the signal calling for full 
brake pressure from the hydraulic booster. An inexperienced, elderly or physically weak drive
r 
may suffer from the accident by not fully pressing the brake pedal when hard braking is 
required
under emergency. The HBA System increases the braking force under urgent situations to 
enhance the inputted braking force from the driver.
Based on the fact that some drivers depress the brake pedal too soft even under when hard 
braking is necessary, the HECU system is a safety supplementary system that builds high 
braking force during initial braking according to pressure value of the brake pressure senso
r 
and the pressure changes of the pressure sensor intervals.
When the system is designed to apply high braking force when brake pedal is depressed softly 
by an elderly or physically weak driver, the vehicle will make abrupt stopping under normal 
braking situation due to high braking pressure at each wheels.

(2) Operation
The brake pressure value and the changed value of the pressure sensor are the conditions in 
which the HBA System operates. There are 2 pressure sensors under the master cylinder. 
When the ESP ECU system determines that emergency braking is present, the pump operates, 
the brake fluid in the master cylinder is sent to the pump and the braking pressure is delivered 
to the wheels via the inlet valves. 
If the drive depress the brake pedal slowly, the pressure change is not high. In this case, only 
the conventional brake system with booster is activated.
