  • Patent number: 7604303
    Abstract: A pedal travel audit assembly adapted for measuring the applied force to and resultant pedal travel of a brake pedal includes first and second sensors and an electronic control unit, wherein the second sensor is configured to wirelessly detect the relative distance between the pedal and a remaining structure spaced from and unsupportive of the pedal, and the electronic control unit is configured to cause an output relative to the distance to be generated.
