Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed that detect warped rotors. An example apparatus includes a controller configured to receive a brake pressure and one or more wheel parameters of a vehicle associated with a first braking event, determine a presence of a warped rotor based on a comparison of the brake pressure to a threshold pressure, and identify a wheel of the vehicle associated with the warped rotor based on the brake pressure and the one or more wheel parameters.
