Brake Pulsation

NOTE: Brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat to dissipate energy. As a result, occasional squeal is possible, and it is aggravated by severe environmental conditions such as cold, heat, rain, snow, salt, mud and other conditions.

^ Brake pulsation (brake roughness) that is present during brake application is caused by either foreign material build-up or contamination on the rotor brake surface or uneven lateral runout.
^ If there is a foreign material build-up or contamination found on front disc brake rotor or lining surfaces, hand-sand linings and front disc brake rotors.
^ If brake pulsation (brake roughness) is present, attempt stopping vehicle with transmission in the NEUTRAL position. If the pulsation (roughness) is gone, refer to Transmission and Drivetrain for diagnosis. If pulsation (roughness) remains, stop vehicle from 48 km/h (30 mph) using parking brake. If pulsation remains, inspect rear brakes. Rear If pulsation is gone, inspect front brakes. Front
