De-Coupled Dynamic Rear Proportioning: Notes
De-Coupled Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DDRP) is a proportioning system to maintain vehicle stability during braking. In normal braking conditions, equal wheel speed should be maintained for efficient and balanced braking. In hard braking conditions, a vehicle requires relatively less brake force at the rear wheel due to the vehicle's weight transfer to the front. DDRP maintains desired brake pressure to the rear wheel by using the ABS rear inlet and outlet valve in order to provide efficient braking and vehicle stability. In the DDRP system, power to the rear hold valve solenoid is provided from the ignition. If the following fault conditions are existing, the red brake warning lamp will be illuminated.
- Two wheel speed sensors inoperative on same axle.
- Rear inlet solenoid is inoperative.
- Battery 2, motor input, short to ground.
- Battery 1, EBCM input, open or short to the ground.
- Motor ground open or short to battery.
- EBCM ground open or short to battery.
- Ignition open or short to ground.
