Abstract
A system and a method which measure and record brake pressure data representing the brake application and release timing of service brake systems and the brake application timing of parking brake systems. The brake pressure data are used to determine if a specific vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment meets the minimum performance requirements of FMVSS 121. As a result, compliance with the service brake and parking brake timing with the parameters set forth in FMVSS 121 may be verified, and other brake system diagnostic tests may be performed.
