Hydraulic fluid also lubricates internal steering system components, preventing friction from causing premature wear and expensive repairs. When theres a leak, the fluid level drops, reducing hydraulic pressure.

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.
