SBC Incorporates these Functions:

ABS (Anti lock Brakes 1984)
+ ASR (Automatic Slip Regulation 1991)
+ ETS (Electronic Traction System 1995)
+ ESP (Electronic Stability Program 1996)
+ BAS (Brake Assist System 1998)

4

Advantages of SBC
• Improves metering of required brake pressure
– each wheel can be precisely controlled
• Improved BAS function
– monitors release of accelerator pedal and application of
brake
– maximum pressure available immediately
– pre-filling of system (overcoming play)
– when the BAS function is anticipated, slight pressure is
applied

5

Advantages of SBC
• Electronic Brake Proportioning: EBP
– allows brake proportioning front to back and side to side
• No pedal vibration during ABS operation
– eliminates “distraction” to the driver during critical moments
– indicator light in instrument cluster signals traction loss
• Improved driving dynamics: ABS, ASR, and ESP
– faster response to brake request inputs

6

Advantages of SBC
• Pressure reduction at standstill
– reduces stress on components
• Dry braking function
– wiper input via CAN
– ~every 7 to 14 minutes
– brake actuation changes
time interval

7

Driving with SBC - Wake-Up
SBC is functional as soon as it is “wakened” by:
• opening a door (via CAN)
• operating the central locking system (via CAN)
• depressing the brake pedal
• turning key to position 1
• operating parking brake
•The Wake-Up may be followed by a Pre-Drive self
Check performed by SBC

8

Driving with SBC – Pre-Drive Check (PDC)
When SBC performs a PDC after a "wake-up", the following are
checked:
Warning! Pressure is applied to brake calipers (~60 bar)
• reservoir pressure (if low, it will be corrected by running the
high pressure charge pump in the hydraulic unit)
• pressure sensors
• control valves
• leak tests
• operational checks
Note: self-tests are constantly conducted during driving (~ once every 16
brake applications)
9

Driving with SBC – Delayed Off Function

Time that SBC remains operational after use:
• with vehicle stationary and was locked = 20 seconds
• with vehicle stationary and ignition in “0”,
brake pedal not operated = 2 minutes
• with vehicle stationary, ignition in “0”,
brake pedal operated in delayed off phase and
released again = 4 minutes

pressure to the
brake pedal

• Pedal travel sensor
sends a signal to A7/3
• y1 and y2 energized,
preventing fluid
movement externally

37
GF42.50-P-4000-04S
GF42.46-P-1000SL

Temperature Compensation

During continuous brake use the
fluid in the calipers expand, this:
• creates high pressure
• prevents valves 7 & 8 from moving
To reduce this pressure, y1 and
y2 are pulsed
38

Deactivation
SBC must be deactivated with SDS before any work is performed
on the system. This will prevent the pre-drive check from being
automatically performed which could cause injury.

Deactivating the system will:
• empty the pressure reservoir
(a lower pressure with no volume may be retained)
• prevent the charge pump from operating
•Note: the warning buzzer is deactivated when accessing
SBC with the SDS.
39

Deactivation
SBC must be deactivated PRIOR to:
• working on the hydraulic system
• removing or installing brake pads
• replacing rotors
• replacing the pressure reservoir
• replacing the BOU
• replacing the SBC hydraulic unit (A7/3)
40

Deactivation
Charge pump disabled and accumulator fluid returned to the reservoir!

41

Pressure at A7/3b2

System Activation
Activation must be performed anytime the system has been
deactivated, BEFORE the engine is started!
Failure to activate will prevent proper operation and create fault
codes!
Activating SBC with SDS will:
• charge the accumulator
• perform a Predrive Check
• move the pads towards the rotors with ~60 bar pressure
• erase the fault memory
(Note: may have to activate several times to position the brake pads)

42

System Activation

Bleeding the Brake System

Proper system bleeding is critical!
Follow directions in SDS
• Bleeding must be performed using the SDS

• Pressure at bleeder valves will exceed 100 bar
(Hold the bleeder hose securely)
• Bleeding may require ~1.5 hours
• Bleeding may use ~ 1.5 liters of brake fluid
49
AR42.10-P-0012R

Equipment Required
• Pressure bleeder
• Adapters
• Fluid receptacle
• SDS - follow instructions carefully
