Abstract
A brake monitoring system for a machine has at least one traction motor coupled to drive wheels of the machine. An operator input device receives a requested retarding torque from an operator of the machine and sends a signal to a controller that is configured to compare the required retarding torque to a maximum retarding torque available at a particular speed of the traction motor. The controller selectively generates a warning signal based on a comparison of the required retarding torque to a maximum retarding torque available.
