    Study Notes

    Sensors and Controls

    • The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) measures the angle of the vehicle's steering wheel and sends the data to the vehicle's computer to help with traction control and stability.

    Transmission and Drivetrain

    • The Universal Joint (U-joint) connects the transmission output shaft to the driveshaft, allowing the driveshaft to rotate at a constant velocity while the transmission output shaft rotates at varying velocities.

    Electronic Systems

    • The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is the primary computer that controls various vehicle systems, such as engine management, transmission, and brakes, by processing data from sensors and sending signals to actuators.

    Suspension and Handling

    • The Anti-roll bar (stabilizer) helps reduce body roll during cornering, improving the vehicle's stability and handling.

    Lighting and Visibility

    • A Steerable Lamp is a type of headlight that adjusts its direction to match the vehicle's steering angle, improving visibility and reducing glare during turns.
