The hydraulic brake system consists of the following:
The above graphic may not be an exact representation for every vehicle configuration.
- Brake Master Cylinder Fluid Reservoir (1)
-
Contains supply of brake fluid for the hydraulic brake system.
- Electronic Brake Booster Control Module (2) and Brake Master Cylinder (3)
-
The brake master cylinder and the electronic brake booster control module take the driver applied brake demand and transforms this into an amplified brake pressure. The integrated brake pressure modulator valve controls hydraulic pressure to each wheel independently and can be responsible for ABS, traction control, and stability control.

- Hydraulic Brake Pipes (1) and Flexible Brake Hoses (2)
-
Carries brake fluid to and from hydraulic brake system components.
- Brake Calipers (3)
-
Converts hydraulic input pressure into mechanical output force.
