Principle of Operation: Notes

The scope of control for the DSC III 5.7 is comprised of three systems:

• ABS
• ASC+T
• DSC

Based on signals coming from the various sensors the DSC III will determine which system is best suited to maintain control of the vehicle.

In addition to the three basic systems, there are several sub-functions which are activated during very specific circumstances. The sub-functions are:

• CBC
• EBV
• MSR
• ADB
• DBC
• MBC
