General information EBS/ECBS - general description
Changing the title ʻElectronic Brake Systemʼ (EBS) to ʻElectronically Controlled Brake Systemʼ (ECBS) provides a more accurate start point for a description of the system. The brake system remains mainly an ʻairʼ system - the pads are still applied by air pressure via conventional brake chambers. The crucial difference is that, with an EBS system, air pressure, and supply and release to and from the brake chambers, is electronically controlled. Electronic control is largely responsible for providing one of the main advantages of EBS - faster application and release, with a consequent reduction in stopping distance. Faster response is also aided by the fact that the electronically controlled modulator valves, which control pressure and supply, are located very close to the brake chambers, and have a constant air supply direct from the air tanks. The concept is shown in the simplified diagram above.

General information Modulators 1 - single channel 2 - twin channel
ABS/TCS and load sensing
The modulators are basically solenoid controlled relay valves, which can modulate - vary - the air pressure supplied to the brake chamber connected to them. They are normally controlled by electronic signals from the EBS ECU. The pressure is modulated according to the value of the applied electronic signal. The value of the signal is calculated by the EBS ECU in response to signals it receives from other sensors importantly, individual wheel speed and vehicle load. The modulator is, therefore, providing ABS/TCS and load sensing control, without the need for the separate valves used in non-EBS systems. If there is an electrical fault, the modulators are controlled by air pressure from the footbrake valve.

General information
Footbrake valve
Back-up mode
The footbrake valve is a conventional two part air valve, with the addition of two potentiometers. The potentiometers supply electrical signals to the EBS ECU, which are proportional to footbrake movement - i.e. ʻdriver demandʼ. When EBS is operating without fault, the electrical signal reaches the modulator instantaneously, and is the only driver demand signal used by the modulator. Air pressure is still delivered from the footbrake valve, but electrical control takes priority. However, if an EBS fault occurs, the system goes into ʻback-upʼ mode, in which the driver demand signal reverts to air pressure from the footbrake valve - as in non-EBS systems. The footbrake valve is supplied with air at reduced pressure via pressure limiting valves (51).
15
General information Back-up mode
Note: when the system is operating in back-up mode, the following functions are not available: Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) Traction Control (TCS) Tractor/trailer brake adaptation (BCS) Load sensing Because ABS and load sensing are not available, braking is biased towards the front axle and trailer brakes. When the footbrake pedal is pressed air, at up to 2 bar pressure, is delivered to the front brake circuit and trailer circuit, before air is delivered to the drive axle circuit. This bias reduces the risk of a jack-knife occurring.
16
General information Port numbers - general
Valve ports generally conform to a common numbering sequence: Port 1 - Supply, normally from a tank. If there is more than one supply, a second number is used - e.g. 11, 12. Port 2 - Delivery, to another component. If there is more than one delivery, a second number is used - e.g. 21, 22. Port 3 - Exhaust, to atmosphere. Port 4 - Signal to the valve to operate. Port 0 - To atmosphere - on the compressor from the air inlet. Port 5 - To the re-generation tank.

General information
Advantages of EBS
In common with other vehicle systems - e.g. engine management - once electronics is introduced, it becomes possible, or easier, to take account of additional factors which affect the final desired result. In summary, EBS allows easy interaction with: - EMS, power reduction in safety critical circumstances. - engine brake or retarder, retardation assistance. - transmission control system. - pad/lining wear sensing, distributed brake force for more even wear. Simplified use of: - vehicle load signal, no separate load sensing valve. - individual wheel speed signals, no separate ABS/TCS valves (except certain Gen. 3 configurations).

EBS - Gen. 2
Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
Attached to each wheel hub is a toothed ʻpoleʼ wheel (1). Located very close to the wheel is a sensor (2). The sensor is an inductive signal generator, which has a permanent magnet surrounded by a coil. As each wheel tooth passes the sensor tip, an AC voltage pulse is induced in the sensor coil. As the wheel rotates faster, more pulses are generated. The number of pulses in one second is the signal ʻfrequencyʼ. The frequency, and voltage, of the signal are directly related to the speed of the wheel. The voltage is also directly related to the ʻair-gapʼ between the wheel teeth and sensor tip: wider gap = lower voltage. A correct gap is particularly important for reliable low speed operation.

EBS - Gen. 2 Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
The induced signal is fed to the ECU of the adjacent modulator and, from there, to the EBS ECU. Using the speed signal, the EBS ECU can calculate: - speed of each wheel - road speed - acceleration - deceleration Calculations are based on the formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration Rearranged: Acceleration = Force/Mass The speed signal is one of the factors used by the EBS ECU to calculate the brake force to be applied. It is also used during ABS/TCS control, and by other ECUʼs, via the J1939 data link.

EBS - Gen. 2 Lining Wear Sensor (LWS)
Even lining wear
Each brake calliper has an electronic wear sensor which detects the average thickness of both brake pads. The sensor produces a voltage varying between 0.5 V and 4.1 V depending on how much pad thickness remains. Each time the footbrake is pressed a reading is taken. When less than 20% of the pad lining remains, the YELLOW information lamp is lit, and the message ʻcheck brakesʼ is displayed. Using information from the sensors, brake pressure is adjusted between the front and rear axles, so that lining wear is as even as possible. Pressure adjustment does not alter the total braking force. Stored values for each wheel can be read using VCADS. Note: Using VCADS, the sensors must be recalibrated when new pads are fitted.

The EBS footbrake valve is a conventional two part air valve, with the addition of two potentiometers. The pot. output voltage varies in proportion to the amount of pedal depression. The voltage from each pot. is fed to the EBS ECU, and is one of the factors used by the ECU to calculate the brake force to be applied. Any detected inconsistency in either voltage will cause a fault to be recorded, and the system will revert to ʻback-upʼ mode. 5V. Controlled voltage supply to potentiometers SM2.

Each modulator has several internal valves and an ECU. Via a data link, the modulator ECU receives signals from the EBS ECU, which determine the brake pressure to be applied to the connected brake chamber. The modulator ECU also receives signals from sensors wheel speed, lining wear, vehicle load, and transmits these signals to the EBS ECU, where they are used to calculate the pressure signal sent back to the modulator ECU.

The trailer brake modulator is used with trailers which do not have an EBS brake system. The modulator supplies compressed air to the trailer brake system, and controls the trailer brake pressure. Like the other modulators the trailer modulator is normally controlled by the EBS ECU, and it also has a back-up function. Note the additional air supply from the park brake hand control valve to port 43. The park brake function operates in the same way as a conventional trailer brake control valve.
59
EBS - Gen. 2
Automatic brake adaptation Brake Compatibility System (BCS)
Automatic brake adaptation ensures optimum brake force distribution between tractor and trailer. This results in more stable braking and more even lining wear. The modulator can adjust the trailer brake pressure + 1.5 bar to - 0.5 bar in relation to the tractor brake pressure. These pressures cannot be altered. Adjustment takes place automatically when the vehicle is moving.
Modulator repair
Limited overhaul of the modulators is possible using repair kits - refer to IMPACT for parts and repair information.

61
EBS - Gen. 2
62
EBS - Gen. 2 Load sensing
The EBS system does not have a load sensing valve. Because the pressure in the rear axle air bags varies as vehicle load varies, this pressure is used as a reference for vehicle load. A sensor, in the Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) system, detects the varying pressure, and sends a variable voltage signal to the ECS ECU. The EBS ECU can read this signal via the data link. The signal is used by the ECU to calculate the required brake force, and distribution between the front and rear wheels.
63
EBS - Gen. 2
64
EBS - Gen. 2
Traction Control System (TCS)
Terrain TCS
The relative speed of all road wheels is constantly monitored by the EBS ECU. If a drive wheel loses grip and starts to spin, the sudden increase in speed, relative to non drive wheels, is detected. At road speeds less than 40km/h, engine power is reduced, and the brake on the spinning wheel is applied, and traction is transferred to the non spinning drive wheel. At road speeds above 40km/h only engine power is reduced. In certain conditions - e.g. deep clay or snow - it may help to get the vehicle moving by allowing a certain amount of wheel spin. If the TCS switch is pressed, the reference speed at which traction control starts, is increased by 10 km/h.
65
EBS - Gen. 2
66
EBS - Gen. 2 Trailer Brake System (TBS)
At certain times - e.g. when changing a trailer, or making adjustments to the fifth wheel - it may be necessary to independently apply the trailer brakes. Providing that road speed is less than 4 km/h, pressing - and holding down - the switch, supplies air at 4 bar pressure via the trailer yellow line. When the switch is released, or if road speed is above 7 km/h, the air supply pressure is reduced to zero.
67
EBS - Gen. 2
68
EBS - Gen. 2
Differential lock function
The Diff. lock function is provided to make it easier to engage the differential lock, and to prevent damage to differential components. When the switch is pressed, the TCS system applies a combination of engine power reduction and braking, to synchronise the speeds of the driving wheels, at which point, the diff. lock will engage. Note: speed synchronisation will not occur if the Terrain TCS switch is pressed.

EBS - Gen. 3
Software - 3 levels
The chart on the previous pages shows the features available with the three software levels - Standard, Medium and High.
Electronic Stability Program - ESP
ESP is aimed at helping to stabilise the vehicle if it reaches an unsafe situation - e.g. skidding, over/understeer, too fast into a curve, possible risk of vehicle over-turning. The system uses two additional sensors: - steering angle sensor on the steering column. This sensors detects the angle, direction and rate of steering wheel movement. - yaw rate sensor, which senses vehicle rotation and lateral acceleration. In response to signals from these sensors, ESP attempts to stabilise the vehicle by applying a combination of engine power reduction, and braking of certain wheels depending on the forces detected.
86
EBS - Gen. 3 Electronic Stability Program - ESP
Large steering wheel movements at high speed, a load with high or unstable centre of gravity, can bring the vehicle to the point of over-turn. The first attempted correction is reduction of engine power to reduce the lateral force. ESP then attempts to detect if one or more tyres is losing contact with the road. ESP detects this by lightly applying the brakes on one of the inner wheels. If light braking results in sudden deceleration of the wheel, this is interpreted as loss of road contact, and all brakes are applied. Note: This function does not apply if the trailer is not fitted with EBS. ESP does not work if there is an EBS fault.
87
EBS - Gen. 3
88
EBS - Gen. 3 Hill Start Aid
Hill start aid helps the driver to move off from a standstill on a hill. When the switch is pressed brake release is delayed, giving the driver more time to operate the throttle and clutch. Manual gearbox - brake pressure is maintained until the clutch is released, or until a certain engine load is detected. Automatic gearbox - brake pressure is maintained for a short time after the brake pedal is released, or until a certain engine load is detected.
89
EBS - Gen. 3 O = no diff. lock 1 = auto. diff. lock 2 = manual diff. lock
90
EBS - Gen. 3 Automatic diff. lock
This function is available only on trucks with one drive axle. The diff. lock is automatically engaged if the drive wheels begin to rotate at different speeds. EBS first synchronises the wheel speeds. The road speed must be less than 15km/h
91
EBS - Gen. 3
CHECK BRAKES Status Recorder 92
EBS - Gen. 3
Status recorder
The status recorder records the number of times a function has been applied - ABS, TCS, EBA, ESP, Temp. alert. Learning parameters must be reset to erase the fault codes.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
If the brake pedal is pressed rapidly, this is interpreted as an emergency brake situation. The EBS ECU pressure signals to the modulator ECU are modified to provide increased brake pressure, so maximum braking power is attained more quickly.
Drag torque control
If the EBS system senses that the drive wheel speed is being retarded too much by the engine brake or retarder, the EBS ECU sends a signal to the engine brake or retarder to reduce retardation.

Wake-up signal
The EBS ECU receives a constant supply from the battery. Whenever the footbrake is pressed - even if the startkey is at off position - a signal is sent from terminal (6) to the EBS ECU, and the complete EBS system is switched on. This ensures that EBS will not go into back-up mode if other systems fail. Note: Wake-up does not work if the battery master switch is off. 5V. Controlled voltage supply to potentiometers SM2.

EBS - Gen. 3
Brake temperature warning
Brake Blending - BBF
Brake lining temperature is estimated by the EBS system. If any wheel brake begins to overheat a warning light is lit. Overheat also causes brake ʻfadeʼ when the braking effect deteriorates, so the brake pedal must be pressed harder.
BBF is fitted only to vehicles with a retarder control stalk - stalk at ʻAutomaticʼ position. BBF automatically ʻblendsʼ braking power provided by the wheel brakes, and power provided by auxiliary brake systems - i.e. engine brake (VEB) and/or retarder. Because the reaction from auxiliary brake systems is slower than that from wheel brakes, the wheel brakes are always applied first. The ratio of braking power between tractor and trailer is not affected. 96
EBS - Gen. 3
Wheel brake monitoring
! Load sensing
The EBS system constantly monitors the efficiency of all wheel brakes. If the braking efficiency on any wheel brake is less than that at other wheels - e.g. due to grease on the linings, lining glazing or sticking calliper - a warning light is lit. Unlike Gen. 2 where load is sensed only by measuring the pressure in the rear air bags, with Gen. 3, load is also sensed by measuring the acceleration achieved for a given throttle opening, and deceleration achieved for a given brake pressure, After two or three gear shifts and brake applications, the effect of the load has been calculated, and brake pressure is adjusted accordingly. Following a load change, and before the load effect has been recalculated, the first brake application may feel different 97
EBS - Gen. 3 External Brake Demand - EBD
EBD is a demand, via the data link, from another ECU to apply or release the brakes. Examples are: - trailer - radar - driver falling asleep detection
98
EBS - Gen. 3
Brake force distribution - slip control
To ensure maximum retardation and stability at all times, the EBS system distributes braking force between front and rear tractor axles, and between tractor and trailer.
Distribution tractor front/rear
During light braking, the tractor front and rear axles receive approximately equal braking force, so lining wear is even. When more retardation is required, optimum brake force distribution is achieved by ʻslip-controlʼ, whereby braking force is distributed so that the front and rear wheel rotation speed is equalised. If the speed sensors detect that rotation speed is not equal, braking force to the faster wheels is increased, and braking force to the slower wheels is reduced. In relation to the tractor brake pressure, pressure to the trailer can be adjusted + 1.5 bar to - 0.5 bar. If the trailer has EBS, all tractor and trailer wheels are braked using slip-control.

EBS - Gen. 3 ABS control valve
Normal braking
On 4 x 2, 6 x 2 and 6 x 4 trucks, with single front axle, a single channel modulator, with two ABS, valves is fitted. The ABS valves are controlled by the modulator. 1. Air supply 2. Air delivery 3. Exhaust 4. Inlet solenoid 5. Exhaust solenoid 6. Inlet valve 6a. Exhaust seal on inlet valve 6b. Inlet seal on inlet valve
7. Exhaust valve 7a. Inlet seal on exhaust valve 7b. Exhaust seal on exhaust valve 8. Diaphragm - exhaust 9. Diaphragm - inlet 10. Springs
During normal braking: - solenoid (4) is not energised, so inlet valve (6) is open. - solenoid (5) is not energised, so exhaust valve (7) is closed. Air can flow freely back and forth through inlet (1) and delivery (2).

EBS - Gen. 3 ABS control valve Lock-up detected
If a tyre begins to lose grip, on loose or icy surfaces, braking will cause that wheel to lose speed at a faster rate than other wheels. Without correction the wheel will soon lock-up, and cause loss of control. The speed difference is detected by the wheel speed sensor, so an ECU signal results in: - solenoid (4) is energised, so inlet valve (6) is closed. - solenoid (5) is energised, so exhaust valve (7) is open. The pressure to the brake chamber for the locking wheel is reduced, and wheel lock-up is avoided.

EBS - Gen. 3 ABS control valve Wheel speed equalised
When the sensors detect that all wheels are rotating at the same speed, the valve switches to pressure maintain mode: - solenoid (4) is energised, so inlet valve (6) is closed. - solenoid (5) is not energised, so exhaust valve (7) is closed. This ensures that the braking pressure is maintained in the chamber, at a level which gives the maximum possible retardation, whilst avoiding wheel lock-up. Any further pressure applied to the footbrake pedal, has no effect on the air pressure in the chamber.
109
EBS - Gen. 3 Multi-channel systems
Depending on the number and configuration of axles, EBS systems have 3, 4 or 5 channels. The number of channels refers to the total number of modulator channels - excluding the trailer modulator:
3 channel
1 x single channel modulator + 1 x 2 channel modulator.
4 channel
2 x single channel modulator + 1 x 2 channel modulator.
5 channel

EBS - Gen. 3 Resetting learning parameters
In addition to recording fault codes, the EBS ECU also records other information - e.g. braking characteristics, number of activations of components, change of wheel/tyre diameter. Such information is referred to as ʻlearning parametersʼ. Using the instrument panel display control stalk - or VCADS Pro - most fault codes can easily be deleted without going through any other procedure. However, when certain fault codes have been recorded a number of times, any related learning parameter must be reset before the fault code can be deleted. The table above gives the operation numbers for the five reset tests. For reset procedure, refer to these numbers in IMPACT.
