Some hybrid systems apply hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Under emergency conditions and ABS corrections, most EVs and hybrids will use hydraulic brakes exclusively. This is because not only is there an ABS hydraulic control unit but a brake pedal simulator. But, Toyota uses pressure transducers on each hydraulic circuit.

Parts that wear out and may have to be replaced include the pressure plate, friction disc, release bearing, pilot bearing or bushing (if used) and components in the clutch linkage (the cable, cable adjuster, or in a hydraulic linkage, the master or slave cylinder). In cable systems, the preload is provided by the ratchet and pawl.

Using brake pressure gauges proves handy for diagnosing uneven hydraulic pressure. They can measure hydraulic pressure side by side, offering insights into ABS units, master cylinders, and proportioning valves. If only one wheel is affected, it may be a brake hose problem, which can be confirmed by loosening the hose at the fitting.

Some hybrid systems apply the hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Normally, the fluid pressure for the wheel hydraulics is generated by the pump and/or accumulator in the ABS HCU or a stroke simulator, and is regulated by the teamed efforts of the ABS and the PCM’s logic. This is called “manual mode.”

Under normal operation, hydraulic brake pressure comes from the ABS module’s electric pump motor, not the driver’s foot, providing a consistent pedal feel.
