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.
EBV: Electronic brake force distribution
The electronic braking force distribution (EBV) is an element of the ABS. EBV regulates the braking force distribution between the front and rear axles depending on the vehicle load. Advantage: Independently of the vehicle load, optimized stopping distances with simultaneous high driving stability are achieved. The brake pads wear more evenly. If the ABS fails, the EBV function remains as long as possible. The EBV function requires the signals from at least 1 wheel speed sensors per axle.
