An anti-lock sensor ring may have a flattened exciting portion having a retention mechanism projecting from a ring radial edge. The retention mechanism may have cantilever spring retention clips elastically deformable to snap on a disc brake band retention seat. The mechanism may also have a cantilever support portion disposed side by side to and spaced apart from the cantilever spring retention clips. Each of the cantilever spring retention clips may have a retention surface and the cantilever support portion with a support surface. When the anti-lock sensor ring is dismounted from a disc brake band, the plane defined by the retention surface and the plane defined by the support surface are facing each other in order to create opposing gripping elements.

A system includes a clutch state module and a clutch torque module. The clutch state module is configured to determine whether a clutch of an electronic limited slip differential is locked or unlocked. The electronic limited slip differential couples an engine of a vehicle to left and right wheels of the vehicle. The clutch torque module is configured to estimate an actual torque transferred by the clutch using a first clutch torque model when the electronic limited slip differential is unlocked, and estimate the actual clutch torque using a second clutch torque model when the electronic limited slip differential is locked. The second clutch torque model is different than the first clutch torque model.

A brake system for a motor vehicle with at least four hydraulically activated wheel brakes. Each of the wheel brakes has a first electrically activated wheel valve which is open when de-energized and a second electrically activated wheel valve which is closed when de-energized, a first electrically activated pressure source, connected to the first wheel valves via a first brake supply line. Arranged in the first brake supply line is an electrically activated circuit isolating valve by which two of the first wheel valves can be hydraulically disconnected from the first pressure source, a second electrically activated pressure source, and a pressure medium reservoir vessel at atmospheric pressure.
