A system () and a method () for detecting brake fading in a vehicle. The system () includes at least one sensor (-) configured to gather data about at least one brake (-) in a vehicle (), a braking system (), a braking system sensor () configured to gather data about the braking system (), and an electronic controller () configured to receive data from at least one selected from the group consisting of the at least one sensor (-) and the braking system sensor (), and determine, based on the data, a level of brake fading of the vehicle (). The method () comprises receiving (), with an electronic controller (), data from at least one of the group consisting of at least one sensor (-) and a braking system sensor (); and determining (), with the electronic controller (), a level of brake fading of a vehicle () based upon the data.

System and method for detecting brake fading in a vehicle

A braking system for a vehicle, which includes a control system configured to: actuate a pressure generation device in accordance with a braking request signal to generate the brake pressure; ascertain an operational state of the pressure generation device; ascertain a position of a displacement piston of a brake master cylinder based on the braking request signal; and couple a pressure modulation device to a brake master cylinder volume and actuate the device so that the pressure modulation device conveys brake fluid out of the brake master cylinder volume into the wheel brake circuit, if the operational status of the pressure generation device is ascertained to be nonoperational and the displacement piston is in the idle position.
