Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
Electronic brake force distribution (EBV) is a component of the ABS. EBV regulates the brake force distribution between the front and rear axles, depending on vehicle load.
Advantage: Regardless of the load state of the vehicle, the best possible braking distance is achieved while driving stability is maintained.
If ABS fails, the EBV function is sustained for as long as possible.
The signals from at least two wheel speed sensors are needed for the EBV function.
