Abstract
A stability control system of a vehicle utilizing an electronic control unit that detects a yaw condition while each of the wheel brakes are actuated by EBCM and the wheel speeds are zero. An electronic control unit includes an electronic braking control module that controls actuation and de-actuation of vehicle brakes on an inclined surface. A yaw condition is identified while all vehicle brakes are actuated on the inclined surface and each wheel speed is zero. The electronic control unit identifies which uphill wheel is leading a direction of the yaw and identifies a wheel of an opposing axle diagonal to the identified uphill wheel. The electronic control unit in cooperation with the electronic braking control module de-actuates the vehicle brakes of the identified uphill wheel and diagonal wheel to increase a side friction to the identified diagonal wheels to reduce further yawing of the vehicle.
