The Brake Master Cylinder works with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution System Today, I will share one of the breakthrough enhancements making driving much safer than in previous decades. This technology is Toyota’s Electronic Brake-Force Distribution. EBD is designed to optimize the distribution of braking force between a vehicle’s front and rear wheels depending on the load and various driving conditions. Let me add that it’s not just the front and rear; it’s also left to right.
Simply put, EBD is a subset feature of the ABS. EBD helps make up for the shifting weight under hard braking scenarios. It reduces brake pressure on wheels carrying the least amount of weight, helping you maintain control of your vehicle.
