BRAKS SYSTEM
2. BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION PROCESS
1) Brake System
Even though a driver cuts off the power, while driving, the vehicle continues to move due to the
law of inertia. Therefore, a braking device is needed to stop the vehicle. The brake system
normally uses the frictional discs that converts the kinetic energy to the thermal energy by
frictional operation.
The brake system consists of the brake disc (front wheel), brake disc or drum (rear wheel),
parking brake (mechanical type), master cylinder, booster, pedal and supply lines (pipes and
hoses).
2) Hydraulic Brake
This system uses the leverage effect and
Pascal’s principle. When depressing the
brake pedal, the pedal pressure is increased
by booster and is delivered to maste
r
cylinder to generate hydraulic pressure.
The hydraulic pressure generated by the
master cylinder is delivered to the brake
caliper through the brake pipes or hoses.
This hydraulic pressure pushes the brake
calipers, accordingly the caliper pads are
contacted to brake disc to generate the
braking force.
3) Brake Pedal
Brake pedal uses the leverage effect to
apply bigger force to the brake master
cylinder.

4) Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder is designed to
convert the force from the brake maste
r
cylinder to the high hydraulic pressure. The
brake system uses the tandem type master
cylinder with in-line 2 pistons.
The in-line 2 pistons generate the hydraulic
pressure. The piston cup on the piston keeps
the sealing conditions in cylinder and
prevents the oil leaks. The hydraulic
pressure generated by the primary piston is
delivered to the front wheels, and the
hydraulic pressure generated by the
secondary piston is delivered to the rea
r
wheels.
5) Brake Booster
The brake booster is a power assist device for brake system. It relieves the pedal depressing
force by using the pressure difference between the vacuum pressure generated by vacuum
pump in intake manifold and the atmospheric pressure.
▶Pressure distribution at working
When depressing the brake pedal, the push
rod (1) in booster pushes the poppet (2) and
valve plunger (3). The poppet (2) pushes the
power piston seat (5) resulting in closing the
vacuum valve (9). The chamber (A) and (B)
in power cylinder are isolated and the valve
plunger (3) is separated from the poppet (2).
And then the air valve (6) opens and ai
r
flows into the chamber (B) through filter.
Then, the power piston (5) pushes the
master cylinder push rod (7) to assist the
brake operation.
▶Pressure distribution after working
When releasing the brake pedal, the valve
plunger (3) returns back to the original
position by return spring (4) and the air valve
(6) closes. At this time, the vacuum valve (9)
opens and the pressure difference between
chamber (A) and (B) in power cylinder is
eliminated. Accordingly, the power piston (5)
returns back to original position by the
reaction of master cylinder (10) and the
diaphragm return spring (8).

ESP SYSTEM
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.

ESP SYSTEM
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.
