Abstract
An advance warning device for monitoring the working conditions of a hydraulic braking system of a motor vehicle is composed of a plurality of sensors and a controller in communication with the sensors for processing the signals transmitted by the sensors so as to provide the operator of the motor vehicle with an advance warning signal as to likelihood of the brake failure. The sensors are intended to monitor respectively the temperature of the brake lining piece, the temperature of the brake fluid kept in the distribution pump, the water content of the brake fluid of the hydraulic braking system, and the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic braking system.
