Description & Operation
WARNING:
For warnings and procedures regarding vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS), see appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKES article.
The hydraulic brake system uses a tandem master cylinder with a vacuum power assist servo. Corolla models are available with either rear drum or rear disc brakes.
A load-sensing proportioning valve is used on some models to regulate brake pressure between front and rear brakes. The rear brakes on all models are self-adjusting.
The parking brake lever mechanically activates rear brakes. On models with rear drum brakes, a cable applies rear shoes. On Corolla models with rear disc brakes, parking brake applies rear pads.
