    Abstract: Apparatus for prognosing a vehicle brake-system health issue, and processes performed thereby. The apparatus in various embodiments includes a first sensor and a second sensor. In various embodiments, the first sensor is configured to measure a brake system input, such as brake pedal force or displacement, and the second sensor configured to produce output indicative of vehicle deceleration. The apparatus further includes a processing hardware unit, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device. The storage device includes a prognostic module configured to cause the processing hardware unit to determine, based on the data received from the first sensor and the second sensor, whether there is an existing or potential brake-system health issue. In some implementations, the first sensor or the second sensor is configured to measure brake-line pressure.
