    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for testing the braking capacity of one or more brake elements of a vehicle, where the vehicle includes a power source for propulsion of the vehicle and at least one ground engagement element driven by the power source, and at least one brake element arranged for braking the vehicle by acting on a rotation component of the vehicle. At least one brake element is automatically activated by applying a predetermined brake force, and a predetermined decision torque level is applied to the rotation component by means of the power source, wherein the decision torque level is indicative for the braking capacity of said at least one brake element when said predetermined brake, force is applied. It is determined whether or not there is a motion of the vehicle and/or of said at least one ground engagement element when the decision torque level is applied in order to decide on the braking capacity of said at least one brake element.
