Brake System

Watch the Video

Brake Fluid:

This hydraulic fluid distributes pressure via the master cylinder to the wheels. Contact your Service Advisor for appropriate brake fluid service intervals for your Toyota vehicle.

1. Master Cylinder:

Changes the force applied to the brake pedal into hydraulic force.

2. Brake Booster:

Increases the force applied to the brake master cylinder in response to the driver's pressure on the brake pedal.

3. Drum Brake:

When the brakes are applied, the brake shoes press against the drums and slow the rotation of the rear wheels.

4. Disc Brake:

When the brakes are applied, the caliper clamps the brake pads against both sides of the rotor, which slows the rotation of the front wheels.

It compresses the refrigerant, and sends it to the condenser under high pressure.

Cooling Unit:

Includes evaporator, expansion valve and thermistor.

Expansion Valve:

Atomizes liquefied refrigerant and injects it into the evaporator.

Receiver:

The refrigerant liquefies in the condenser and is stored in this tank for supply to the evaporator. On newer Toyota models the receiver is integrated into the condenser.
