In today’s day and age, approaching a vehicle for brake service without first referencing service information is a dangerous gamble. Equally as important is the need to implement ADAS-capable brake pads and rotors.
With the advancement in technology, ADAS brake mitigation systems take center stage in the need for the correct brake component compositions. It’s the coefficient of friction in brake performance that affects the stopping distance vehicles require, especially during a brake mitigation event. OE brake components for ADAS vehicles ensure the friction generated during brake application avoids collision because of the calculations the engineers designed the mitigation events around.
Brake service best practices for ADAS vehicles (including modern brake system diagnostics) require technicians to ensure the components being implemented are ADAS-compatible brake pads and rotors. Choosing components that don’t meet the required specifications is a recipe for disaster, and shops (as well as individual technicians are being held accountable.
Read the full article to learn why modern brake system diagnosis and repair is not something we should fear or shy away from. These systems command care and respect.
