2. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Brake bleeding is the procedure performed on hydraulic brake systems whereby the brake lines (the pipes and hoses containing the brake fluid) are purged of any air bubbles. This is necessary because, while the brake fluid is an incompressible liquid , air bubbles are compressible gas and their presence in the brake system greatly reduces the ...

3. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   Symbol for ABS ABS brakes on a BMW motorcycle. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [1]

4. 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]

5. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

   Ways of resolving sudden unintended acceleration is to apply the brakes and/or clutch, or shift into neutral if the car has an automatic transmission. [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] "

6. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that utilizes 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 ...

7. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   A compression release brake (also known as a Jacobs brake or "jake brake"), is the type of brake most commonly confused with real engine braking; it is used mainly in large diesel trucks and works by opening the exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke, so the large amount of energy stored in that compressed air is not returned to ...
