ESP and EBD

[hulkster]

Anyone know what the difference is between them. I have a 172 Exclusive and it has EBD, can it be turned off?????????

judging by your avatar you already have the answer to that.:quiet:

(it can be turned off yes, but you have a 172 exclusive, i dont think it comes with them, i may be wrong.)

On my MK2 172 the ESP switch is next to the light dimmer on the right of the steering wheel.

sorry dude.

EBD Can't be turned off.

EBD = Electronic Brakeforce Distribution

EBA = Emergency Brake Assist (not on 172's)

ESP = Electronic Stability Programme (2003 onwards I beleive)

sorry dude.

it ok. I paid £7,000 for it and got (after major arguing) £7,400 as a pay out ;-0

agree the ph1 172 doesn't have either and i'm sure that includes the exclusive

Just re-checked the manual - my Exclusive does have EBD

Thanks, but appart from different wording do they do the same thing (EBD & ESP)

 

[LegoHead]

is ebd something to do with the brake bias valve?

 

[theduck]

ESP is traction control. EBD is an advancement of ABS

The EBD distributes the braking power so it keeps the vehicle stable, only under braking though when ABS is active.

ESP is different to traction control.

ESP controls understeer and oversteer, TCS (Traction Control System) controls wheelspin during acceleration.

 

[theduck]

sorry i should have said part of the TCS, much like EBD is part of the ABS system

Lol, knew what you meant
