Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module monitors how often the traction control or the stability control system activates in order to calculate an estimate of the front brake discs temperature. In most cases the high temperatures are caused by extended traction control activation. If the electronic brake control module calculates that the front brake components temperatures are too high, the electronic brake control module will temporarily suspend the traction control system function until the front brake discs cool down.
