What Causes Brake Pedal Pulsation?
1 Answers
Brake pedal pulsation can occur due to the following reasons: 1. Uneven brake drum: The pulsation may be caused by an uneven brake drum or brake disc. Another possibility is the presence of air in the brake lines. For safety reasons, it is advisable to have the brake system inspected at a repair shop. 2. ABS protection: When braking hard in an emergency, the pulsation of the brake pedal is the ABS system functioning to protect the vehicle. In an emergency, the driver may slam on the brakes to control speed and avoid danger. However, if the braking system locks up suddenly, it could lead to a loss of lateral control of the vehicle.
