Toyota 4Runner Brake System Sensors

The introduction of the anti-lock braking system , universally known as ABS, has greatly improved on-road safety worldwide: the system prevents the wheels from locking, the vehicle from skidding, and the driver from possibly losing control over the vehicle with catastrophic consequences. Though the first ABS systems date back to the mid-1920s, yet they have become a standard feature on most cars in the 1970s. Since then, they have been undergoing a constant improvement, and their performance has been improved thanks to massive use of electronics. A host of sensors constantly monitor all the variables, allowing the braking system of your Toyota 4Runner to respond in the most efficient way possible, depending on the situation.

Wheel speed, brake pressure, pad wear, fluid level, and speed variations are some of the data collected by the brake system sensors. A central control unit is in charge of collecting and elaborating the data, finally applying the proper braking force. Failure of brake sensors can lead to wrong response of the system, with poor or failing braking. At our online store, we have a large selection of Toyota 4Runner brake system sensors, skilfully designed by renowned aftermarket brands and offered at reasonable costs.
