The salesman,
its ok mate,
you dont have to explain ABS to me.

Did you know that ABS doesnt slow the vehicle when you have a brain malfunction and forget to push the brake??
some dont ha ha ha ha ha

when i commented that ford use bosch systems, it was in reply to sam saying fords systems are crap. bosch are respected for having good systems.

Andrew M,

Yes, but VSC will not activate ABS without your foot on the brake.

Cheers

Just reading on other auto sites how the new Ford AUS CEO is a well regarded Ford executive who knows the nuts and bolts of the company and is also respected by the motoring press.

He appears to be a good choice for the top job at Ford AUS.

Sam Says,

Now with VSC, ABS might work without you even having you foot on the brake in some circumstances.

VSC or vehicle stability control is a separate system that uses a steering wheel sensor, speed sensor on each wheel, and rotation sensor, the information is sent to an on board computer 80 time a second.. The system will apply the brake to one or more wheels individually depending on the feed back from the sensors to correct under steer and over steer, it will even reduce power to the wheels through the transmission, it works in conjunction with TC, ABS it does in NO WAY control ABS separately.
The system was designed by Bosch and used in Grand Prix cars before it was cheap enough manufacture for use in mass produced cars.
