Specifically, it expects a certain amount of torque for a given hydraulic pressure. If the replacement pads don’t generate enough friction, the vehicle might not stop in time. The vehicle stays straight, but the system does extra work to mask a mechanical fault. Every correction an ADAS or ABS system makes depends on friction.

Going this far would be unimaginable for most internal combustion powered vehicles. 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.

Hybrids prioritize using regenerative braking, so the pedal acts more like an input to the ABS module requesting braking force rather than a direct hydraulic pressure request. More regen braking increases electrical generation but also provides a drag to slow down the vehicle.

This results in areas where hydraulic pressure drops as they pass by the caliper. It can occur in a vehicle with zero runout or DTV and is caused by brake torque variation (BTV), which occurs when there’s inconsistent torque across the rotor face and causes the rotor to slip and catch as brake pads pinch the rotor.
