How a Car Braking System Works: ABS, Traction & Stability Control Explained

Подробнее о видео

Here's how your car's braking system works to stop your car to a halt!



The braking system consists of the anti-lock brakes, traction and stability control and electronic brake force distribution system. The major components include the brake pedal assembly, master cylinder and brake booster, ABS motor / actuator, brake caliper, gyroscope sensor for stability control, a steering angle sensor and a hydraulic / electronic network to connect them all.



When the brakes are depressed, braking force is transferred from the pedal assembly to the booster. A valve inside the booster shifts vacuum from both sides of the diaphragm to one side, giving assist to push the master cylinder. The master cylinder consists of two sub pistons for redundancy, each operating a diagonally opposite wheel on the vehicle.


Hydraulic fluid is pushed through to the ABS actuator, where it its release to the individual brake calipers is controlled. If the yaw sensor or ABS sensors detect vehicle slippage, it would appropriately engage the ABS motor to generate pressure far greater than a driver could with their foot through the master cylinder. Solenoids in the actuator would then direct or pulsate the brake pressure going to the appropriate wheel.



Keep your vehicle's braking system well maintained!
