same electronic control unit to make the model management system as efficient as possible.
When the traction control computer (often incorporated into another control unit, such as the ABS module) detects one or more driven wheels spinning significantly faster than another, it invokes the
ABS electronic control unit to apply brake friction to wheels spinning with lessened traction.
The affected vehicles may experience a brake fluid leak from the two brake lines that connect the brake system's master cylinder to the
Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) due to insufficient seal between the inner brake hose and metal brake line fitting.
If Electronic Control Unit detects that one wheel is slipping, it applies the brake pressure to match its speed to the second, non-slipping wheel.

An ultra-sophisticated network of
electronic control units processed information fed to them from sensors around the car and instructed engine, transmission, suspension and brakes to act in harmony.
The system's
electronic control unit calculates the desired vehicle dynamics from a series of sensors, including vehicle speed and steering angle, and separately directs both the front and rear actuators to change steering gear ratios and rear geometry by moving both the front steering gear and rear suspension lower links — thus providing sports car - like agility and secure stability.
Since an under - inflated tire impedes handling and can be a safety hazard, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses pressure sensors mounted in each wheel that send readings to a
central electronic control unit.
