If your dashboard flashes a “Braking Power Low” warning, it means your vehicle’s braking system isn’t generating enough braking force or electronic assist to function correctly. Loss of brake assist: If the electric or vacuum-assisted brakes fail, braking becomes heavier and more manual.

More regenerative braking increases the amount of electrical charge generated for the battery. Brakes are applied to stop the vehicle from rolling at or near a stop. Some hybrid systems apply hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. This is because not only is there an ABS hydraulic control unit but a brake pedal simulator.

Also, hybrids and battery electric vehicles use the input from a brake pedal sensor for regenerative braking. Data from the ABS hydraulic control unit’s (HCU) pressure sensors is also used to decipher what the driver is doing. This information is critical for ABS, stability control and some ADAS features.

When you hit the brake pedal on most internal combustion vehicles, hydraulic pressure is generated by the master cylinder and sent to the calipers. The hydraulic pressure causes the calipers to clamp down on the brake pads and rotor. It is not until the last few miles per hour that the hydraulic brakes are engaged.

In order to disconnect the 12-volt power system on the Model S you must access the “frunk” or front trunk.
