How does electronic stability control work?
ESC is a vehicle control system comprised of sensors, brakes, engine control modules, and a microcomputer that continuously monitors how well a vehicle responds to a driver’s steering input. The computer compares a driver’s commands to the actual travel of the vehicle. In general, when the sensors indicate the vehicle is leaving the intended line of travel, ESC applies the brake pressure needed at each wheel to bring the vehicle back on track. In some cases, ESC also reduces engine speed.
