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. Loose caliper hardware or worn/misadjusted wheel bearings can cause uneven brake application, resulting in a pull.

Hybrids prioritize using regenerative braking, so the pedal acts more like an input to the ABS module requesting braking force rather than a direct hydraulic pressure request. 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.

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.”

When the spool valve has torque applied to it, the openings get larger to apply more hydraulic force. Most tensioners have a dampener mechanism inside or connecting to the arm. This makes the pump work harder to generate more volume and pressure. This also creates heat. Many pumps fail because the belt tensioner was not replaced.
