Test D: Vibration When The Brakes Are Applied

Pinpoint Test D: Vibration When the Brakes are Applied

Normal Operation
During moderate to heavy braking, noise from the hydraulic control unit (HCU) and pulsation in the brake pedal can be observed. Pedal pulsation coupled with noise during heavy braking or on loose gravel, bumps, wet or snowy surfaces is acceptable and indicates correct functioning of the ABS. Pedal pulsation or steering wheel nibble when the brakes are applied (frequency is proportioned to the vehicle speed) indicates a concern with a brake or suspension component.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
^ Uneven brake pad wear
^ Brake disc pad transfer
^ Brake disc
^ Suspension components
