Hyundai Sonata: Description and Operation
Description of ESC
Optimum driving safety now has a name : ESC, the Electronic Stability
Control.
ESC 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 needfor actuating the brake or the gas
pedal.
ESC adds a further function known as Active Yaw Control (AYC) to the ABS,
TCS, EBD and ESC functions. Whereas the ABS/TCS function controls wheel slip
during braking and acceleration and, thus, mainly intervenes in the longitudinal
dynamics of the vehicle, active yaw control stabilizes the vehicle about its
vertical axis.
This is achieved by wheel individual brake intervention and adaptation
of the momentary engine torque with no need for any action to be taken by the
driver.
ESC essentially consists of three assemblies : the sensors, the electronic
control unit and the actuators.
Of course, the stability control feature works under all driving and operating
conditions. Under certain driving conditions, the ABS/TCS function can be activated
simultaneously with the ESC function in response to a command by the driver.
In the event of a failure of the stability control function, the basic
safety function, ABS is still maintained.
Description of ESC Control
ESC system includes ABS/EBD, TCS and AYC (Active yaw control) function.
ABS/EBD function : The ECU changes the active sensor signal (current shift)
coming from the four wheel sensors to the square waveform. By using the input
of above signals, the ECU calculates the vehicle speed and the acceleration
& deceleration of the four wheels. And, the ECU judges whether the ABS/EBD should
be actuated or not.
TCS function prevents the wheel slip of drive direction by adding the
brake pressure and engine torque reduction via CAN communication.TCS function
uses the wheel speed sensor signal to determine the wheel slip as far as ABS
function.
AYC function prevents unstable maneuver of the vehicle. To determine the
vehicle maneuver, AYC function uses the maneuver sensor signals(Yaw Rate Sensor,
Lateral Acceleration Sensor, Steering Wheel Angle Sensor).
If vehicle maneuver is unstable (Over Steer or Under Steer), AYC function
applies the brake pressure on certain wheel, and send engine torque reduction
signal by CAN.
After the key-on, the ECU continually diagnoses the system failure. (self-diagnosis)If
the system failure is detected, the ECU informs driver of the system failure
through the BRAKE/ABS/ESC warning lamp. (fail-safe warning)
Variant Coding
The HECU is programmed with a variant code based on the vehicle powertrain
configuration. This variant code is used to determine the appropriate ESC calculations.
Variant code programming should be performed whenever an HECU is replaced.
Procedure of Variant Coding
| 1. |
Install a PCM(ECM & TCM)/ESC normally.
|
| 2. |
Connect the GDS to the data link connector located underneath
the crash pad.
|
| 3. |
Select vehicle name.
|
| 4. |
Select ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM.
|
| 5. |
Select the variant coding.
|
| 6. |
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
|
| 7. |
Perform variant coding.
|
| 8. |
Ignition "OFF" and then ignition "ON".
|
| 9. |
The variant coding is completed.

ABS Warning lamp
The active ABS warning lamp indicates the self-test and failure status
of the ABS. The ABS warning lamp shall be on:
| - |
During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3
seconds).
|
| - |
In the event of inhibition of ABS functions by failure.
|
| - |
During diagnostic mode.
|
| - |
When the ECU Connector is separated from ECU.
|
EBD/Parking brake warning lamp
The active EBD warning lamp indicates the self-test and failure status
of the EBD. However, in case the Parking Brake Switch is turned on, the EBD
warning lamp is always turned on regardless of EBD functions.
The EBD warning lamp shall be on:
| - |
During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3
seconds).
|
| - |
When the Parking Brake Switch is ON or brake fluid level is low.
|
| - |
When the EBD function is out of order .
|
| - |
During diagnostic mode.
|
| - |
When the ECU Connector is separated from ECU.
|
| - |
Vacuum pump failure. (2.0 T_GDI Engine only)
|
| - |
Vacuum pump CAN communication failure. (2.0 T_GDI Engine only)
|
ESC Function/Warning Lamp (ESC System)
The ESC Function/Warning lamp indicates the self-test and failure status
of the ESC.
The ESC Function/Warning lamp operates under the following conditions
:
| - |
During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3
seconds).
|
| - |
In the event of inhibition of ESC functions by failure.
|
| - |
During dignostic mode.
|
| - |
When the ECU connector is separated from ECU.
|
| - |
When the ESC control is operting. (Blinking - 2Hz)
|
ESC OFF Lamp (ESC system)
The ESC OFF lamp indicates the self-test and operating status of the ESC.
The ESC OFF lamp is turned on under the following conditions :
| - |
During the initialization phase after IGN ON. (continuously 3
seconds).
|
| - |
When driver turn off the ESC function by on/off switch.
|
ESC On/Off Switch (ESC system)
The ESC On/Off Switch shall be used to toggle the ESC function between
On/Off states based upon driver input.
The On/Off switch shall be a normally open, momentary contact switch.
Initial status of the ESC function is on and the switch is used to request
an ESC status change.
