ASR - How does it work?
i believe it uses the abs & other sensors to measure vehicle speed vs. tire speed to regulate throttle/abs/etc to limit tire slip.

Re: ASR - How does it work? (Bluewasp)
Yep, like the others said, uses ABS. It works by comparing the speed difference between the wheels. If it is a small differential, it applies brake to the wheel/wheels that are moving the fastest. If large differential, it cuts the amount of throttle and applies brake at the same time. :)

Re: ASR - How does it work? (carguru)
I'm asking because today on the way home the roads where a little wet and I went into a turn at what I thought was a safe speed and the back end broke loose. I was able to recover but I noticed the gas pedal went to the floor when ASR light came on. Did the ASR save my butt or was it luck?

Re: (Bluewasp)
Sounds like it read your rear wheel speed as being much more than the fronts and corrected your throttle. Believe it did what it was suppose to do. I've had mine catch me by surprise like that. It saved my butt from sliding off a slick onramp. Believe that this system works only with the tps and wheel speed sensors. Don't recall a yaw sensor.

Is there a yaw sensor also? if it did then it would be like AH on the C5's... ????

Thats what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. I'm pretty sure our ABS systems have a lateral accelerometer. That is side to side motion, correct?

Trust me when the ASR kicks in you will know it. I was driving my friends 94 LT1 auto and I hammered it. The gas peddle literally pushed my leg (and I am not a week guy) back up off the floor.

Re: ASR - How does it work? (Bluewasp)
I am pretty sure there are no lateral sensors. It kicks on only when your tires break loose. I have found it quite useful in avoiding sideways spins during wet weather driving.

Re: ASR - How does it work? (DSTJ99)
one time at band camp... oh sorry wrong forum, any ways one time I took an off ramp at 90 and the last 40 feet or so really got tight and the car slid over one lane before I could get in back (all 4 tires slid) MAN I set off a lot of things.. the ASR light came on and so did my check ABS and the check ASR light came on and stayed on untill i shut the car off .... that thing did not know what to do... It was kind of fun just glad there is no one in that lane... :cool:

Re: ASR - How does it work? (MyC-4)
The ASR works by applying the ABS to a spining wheel, pushing the throttle back, and finally retarding the timing of the car.
Exactly :crazy:
