2. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

   [72] [73] [3] In most cars, fully applied brakes are easily capable of stopping the car while the accelerator pedal is also fully applied. [17] "Pumping the brakes" is strongly discouraged during an unintended acceleration event, as this can lead to a loss of braking power. [74] Unresponsive (entrapped) pedals can be avoided by using car mat ...

3. 2009–2011 Toyota vehicle recalls - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–2011_Toyota_vehicle...

   However, tests of the Camry by Car and Driver in 2009, attempting to use the brakes to stop acceleration of a purposely stuck throttle at 70, 100 and 120 miles per hour (110, 160 and 190 km/h), found that the test driver was able to reduce speed to 10 mph (16 km/h) in all instances, and in the 70 and 100 mph (110 and 160 km/h) tests, stop the ...

4. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that uses a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and bicycles. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes ...

5. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

   The fault could be lack of hydraulic fluid, low brake fluid in the reservoir, a broken hydraulic line or a bad master brake cylinder. The sensor is used to detect pressure differentials in the hydraulic system. If the car alerts a fault in the hydraulic system and the system checks out, the sensor itself may have failed. [2]

6. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   A Combined Braking System therefore distributes the brake force also to the non-braked wheel to lower the possibility of a lock-up, increase deceleration and reduce suspension pitch. With a single [rear] CBS the brake pressure applied on the rear brake (pedal) is simultaneously distributed to the front wheel.

7. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

   Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-hydraulic brake system developed by Daimler and Bosch. In this system, the wheel brake cylinders of a vehicle are operated through a servomechanism, offering precise and responsive braking. The SBC system was first introduced on the R230 SL-class, which was released in Europe in October 2001. [1]
