Operating modes using a braking system for an all terrain vehicle

An all terrain vehicle, comprising:

• a frame;
• a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame and each of the plurality of ground-engaging members is configured to rotate about an axle;
• a powertrain assembly supported by the frame;
• one or more sensors;
• a braking system comprising a hydraulic and electric controller unit (HECU) operably coupled to the plurality of ground-engaging members and configured to prevent the all terrain vehicle from moving during start-up, wherein the HECU is further configured to control brake pressure to the plurality of ground-engaging members independent of a driver input indicating a braking event.

• a powertrain assembly supported by the frame;
• one or more sensors;
• and
• a braking system comprising a hydraulic and electric controller unit (HECU) operably coupled to the plurality of ground-engaging members and configured to engage a winch hold mode in response to satisfying one or more criteria, wherein the HECU is configured to control brake pressure to the plurality of ground-engaging members independent of a driver input indicating a braking event.

An all terrain vehicle, comprising:

• a frame;
• a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame, wherein each of the plurality of ground-engaging members is configured to rotate about an axle, and wherein the plurality of ground-engaging members comprises a first ground-engaging member and a second ground-engaging member;
• a powertrain assembly supported by the frame;
• at least one sensor configured to provide sensor information;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the at least one sensor, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive user input indicating a change from a first driving mode to a second driving mode;
• receive, from the at least one sensor, the sensor information;
• determine, based on the sensor information, whether a first speed corresponding to the first ground-engaging member and a second speed corresponding to the second ground-engaging member are within a threshold percentage of each other;
• and
• in response to determining the first speed and the second speed are within the threshold percentage of each other, provide one or more commands to transition the all terrain vehicle into the second driving mode.

• a frame;
• a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame and each of the plurality of ground-engaging members is configured to rotate about an axle;
• a powertrain assembly supported by the frame;
• at least one sensor configured to provide sensor information;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the at least one sensor, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive, from the at least one sensor, the sensor information indicating event information;
• determine, based on the event information, whether the vehicle is encountering an event;
• and
• based on determining the vehicle is not encountering the event, provide one or more commands to transition the all terrain vehicle into an all wheel drive (AWD) mode.

An all terrain vehicle, comprising:

• a frame;
• a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame and each of the plurality of ground-engaging members is configured to rotate about an axle;
• a powertrain assembly supported by the frame;
• one or more sensors;
• and
• a braking system comprising a hydraulic and electric controller unit (HECU) operably coupled to the plurality of ground-engaging members, wherein the HECU is configured to:
• receive sensor information from the one or more sensors;
• determine whether the all terrain vehicle is encountering a wheel locking event based on the sensor information, wherein the wheel locking event indicates the plurality of ground-engaging members are unable to turn;
• determine whether the all terrain vehicle is encountering a turning event based on the sensor information;
• operate in an HECU intervention mode based on an indication that the all terrain vehicle is encountering the wheel locking event and the turning event, wherein the HECU intervention mode permits the HECU to control the plurality of ground-engaging members based on steering input.
