Performance requirements and testing methods for
electronic stability control system (ESC) for
commercial vehicles
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the terms and definitions, general requirements,
performance requirements, test conditions, and test methods for electronic
stability control system for commercial vehicles.
This Standard is applicable to M2, M3, N2, N3 type vehicles with a maximum
design total mass greater than 3500 kg equipped with an electronic stability
control system.
Note: The abbreviation form of electronic stability control system is ESC. The abbreviation
is used below.

GB/T 30677 Performance requirements and testing methods for electronic
stability control system (ESC) for light vehicles
a) During the period from 1.5 s after the subject vehicle enters the test
starting point to passing the test end point, the ESC shall reduce the
output torque of the engine/drive motor by 10% or more than that
requested by the driver, which shall be lasted for at least 0.5 s;
b) The wheel of the subject vehicle, during the process from the test starting
point to passing the test end point, shall always remain in the test lane.
5.1.2 TEST according to 7.7.3. At least 6 of the 8 tests in each series meet the
following requirements:
a) The speed of the subject vehicle after passing the test starting point 3 s
shall not exceed 47 km/h;
b) The speed of the subject vehicle after passing the test starting point 4 s
shall not exceed 45 km/h;
c) The wheel of the subject vehicle, during the process from the test starting
point to passing the test end point, shall always remain in the test lane;
d) The ESC braking shall be activated.
5.2 ESC fault monitoring
5.2.1 The vehicle shall be fitted with an ESC signalling device and alert the
driver if there is any fault in the system which affects ESC control, response
signal generation or transmission.
5.2.2 The ESC fault signalling device shall meet the following requirements:
a) It is in the front field of view of the driver, which is convenient for the driver
at the driving position to check whether the state of the signalling device
is normal;
b) When observed during the travel of the vehicle, it shall be in an upright
state. Its orientation is shown in Figure 1;
c) It shall use one of the “ESC fault signal” identification symbols shown in
Figure 1 or the word “ESC” for indication;
d) It shall be yellow or amber;
e) After the signalling device is lit, it shall be bright and conspicuous enough,
so that the driver, after adapting to the environmental road lighting
conditions, can clearly observe whether driving during the day or night;
which no longer meets the performance requirements of 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, it is
not necessary to indicate it in the way of 5.3.3.
5.4 ESC OFF signalling device
5.4.1 If the manufacturer, in accordance with 5.3, installs a control device to
shut down or reduce the performance of the ESC, the signalling device
requirements of 5.4.2~5.4.5 shall be met, to alert the driver when the ESC
function is degraded. This requirement does not apply to the driver’s selection
mode as described in 5.3.2b).
5.4.2 If the vehicle manufacturer sets a control mode which makes the ESC not
meet the requirements of 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, an alarm device shall be provided to
indicate when the ESC is in this control mode.
5.4.3 The signalling device shall meet the following requirements:
a) It is in the front field of view of the driver, which is convenient for the driver
at the driving position to check whether the state of the signalling device
is normal;
b) When observed during the travel of the vehicle, it shall be in an upright
state. Its orientation is shown in Figure 2;
c) It shall use the ESC OFF identification symbol specified in 5.3.3 or the
word “ESC OFF” for indication. It is also possible to mark an “OFF” on the
control device described in 5.3.3 or 5.3.5, the illuminated fault signalling
device or its vicinity for indication;
d) It shall be yellow or amber;
e) After the signalling device is lit, it shall be bright and conspicuous enough,
so that the driver, after adapting to the environmental road lighting
conditions, can clearly observe whether driving during the day or night;
f) As long as the ESC is in a mode which cannot meet the requirements of
5.1.1 and 5.1.2, the signalling device signal shall remain lit;
g) Except as provided in 5.4.4 and 5.4.6, when the ignition locking system is
in the “ON” (“RUN”) position but the engine/drive motor is not running, or
when the ignition locking system is between “ON” (“RUN”) and “Start” and
the check position specified by the manufacturer, it shall light the ESC
OFF signalling device to perform a function check;
h) When the ESC is restored to the manufacturer’s initial default mode, the
signalling device shall be extinguished.
compartment or cabin to achieve full load; any axle load shall not exceed
the rated value.
6.3.4 During the test, the gearbox shall be in the forward gear. For vehicles with
an engine/drive motor brake which can be turned off, the engine/drive motor
brake shall be off.
6.3.5 The trailer shall meet the following requirements:
a) A flatbed semi-trailer with a single axle and the axle weight of no more
than 750 kg may be brake-free.
b) The height of center of mass of the trailer after loading shall be between
the saddle bearing surface and 610 mm above the saddle bearing surface.
c) The trailer shall be equipped with an auxiliary wheel.
d) Loaded by the trailer onto the non-steering axle of the tractor. The trailer
load shall not exceed the rated total mass of the axle of the trailer. If the
saddle pin of the tractor is adjustable, by adjusting its position, the load on
each axle of the tractor can be assigned, so that the axle load is as close
as possible and does not exceed the rated total mass of the axle. If the
saddle pin of the tractor is not adjustable, in order to make the axle load
of the tractor not exceed the allowable rated total mass of the axle, the
load of ...
