A method for detecting a fault within a brake mechanism on an aircraft is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method includes activating, by a brake control unit, the brake mechanism; receiving, by the brake control unit, a wheel speed data for a wheel associated with the brake mechanism; determining, by the brake control unit, a wheel speed characteristic for the wheel associated with the brake mechanism; and detecting, by the brake control unit, whether the brake mechanism is faulty based on a comparison of the wheel speed characteristic and a wheel speed deceleration database.
