Jeep Wrangler: Electronic Brake Control (EBC) System / Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD manages the distribution of the braking
torque between the front and rear axles by
limiting braking pressure to the rear axle. This is
done to prevent overslip of the rear wheels to
avoid vehicle instability, and to prevent the rear
axle from entering ABS before the front axle.
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s
braking capability during emergency braking
maneuvers. The system detects an emergency
braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then
applies
optimum pressure to the brakes...
ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and
the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines
that the rate of change of the steering wheel
angle and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to
potentially cause wheel lift, it then applies the
appropriate brake and may also reduce engine
power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will
occur...
Other information:
The rear axle may be locked in 4WD High if the
proper conditions are met.
WARNING!
This mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only and should not be used on
any public roadways.
The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the
instrument panel (to the right of the steering
