OVERVIEW
The Bendix® GSBC® is an Electronic Braking System (EBS) that controls the service
brakes of the vehicle. The system is comprised of both hardware and software
components that work together to control the service braking system of the vehicle.
EBS utilizes electronic control systems but continues to use air to apply and release
the parking and service brakes of the vehicle.
GSBC can provide additional functionality including Bendix® Electronic Stability
Program (ESP).
For more descriptions of these features, refer to the System Features section on page 16.
