The braking system uses friction to bring your vehicle to a stop when you step on the brake pedal, produced by the cooperation between such parts as the Acura TL brake caliper, the brake pads, and the brake disc. The TL brake caliper uses a piston to cause the brake pads to move, operated by hydraulic fluid pressure, which is placed upon the piston when you apply the brakes. The brake pads, which are coated with a friction compound, are squeezed inwards by the Acura TL brake caliper to contact the brake disc, one on each side of the disc, gripping it firmly between them to produce the friction necessary to work against the momentum of the wheel effectively.

This system depends on the smooth cooperation of these various brake components to produce the safe and efficient braking performance for which it is designed. Proper maintenance and periodic inspection of the TL brake caliper and other brake assembly components is very important to the performance of this system, as the poor performance of one component will affect the efficiency of the others.

A leak in the brake hose can reduce the pressure in the brake system, leaving the Acura TL brake caliper unable to apply the brake pads to the disc with enough force to stop the vehicle effectively, creating a longer braking distance. A TL brake caliper that has developed corrosion may seize, failing to move the pads.
