An inspection system was developed that is capable of detecting safety related brake system defects and degradations in passenger vehicles and light trucks. The inspection system consists of a low-speed high retarding chassis brake force dynamometer, a pedal force and displacement transducer, two hand held inspection control consoles, automatic data processing equipment, and inspection procedures. The brake inspection consists of performance tests and non-performance checks. The performance tests consist of static vehicle tests, such as for hydraulic leaks, and dynamic brake tests conducted on the chassis brake dynamometer. The non-performance checks include visual checks under the vehicle and under the hood and a series of checks requiring vehicle wheel removal.
