DPB Brake System Stiffness Test

Gen3/tasks/TEST-SELF_BRAKE_X_DPB-ESP-SYSTEM-CHECK

What this task does

Validates all 4 brake lines by measuring DPB plunger stroke values and validating that none are blocked, have air or leakage

DPB Corner Stiffness Test

Applies pressure to each individual corner in turn to compare the output values and validate the brakes. If executing with DIAG_LINK_ACTIVE then EPBs will release one at a time, which is required if CHECK_SWAPPED_REAR_LINES is true.

DPB Swapped Rear Lines Check

Applies pressure to each individual corner in turn to compare the output values and validate the brakes. If executing with DIAG_LINK_ACTIVE then EPBs will release one at a time, which is required if CHECK_SWAPPED_REAR_LINES is true.

IBST Stiffness Test - Burnished - Pressure

Measures the brake system stiffness of burnished brakes and tests the brake pedal switch. Stiffness threshold is selected based on chassis and brake hardware type.

IBST Stiffness Test - Burnished/Unburnished

Measures the brake system stiffness. Select burnished or unburnished to determine the pass/fail threshold. Stiffness threshold is selected based on chassis and brake hardware type. Stiffness by wheel circuit is also measured, but not used for pass/fail.
