PROJECT # 3

Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)

Client – TRW

Duration: Aug 2018 – Nov 2019

Electronic braking systems are controlled by the electronic brake control module or EBCM for short. EBCM is programmed to make brake control decisions and send output commands to the controlled devices based on sensor input data, which are compared to the data maps in its memory. EBCM continuously monitors the sensor data for any indication that one or more wheels are about to lock up and activates the ABS or traction control system when it detects it is necessary.
