2001 Toyota Camry LE Brake System Under Car
Front Brake System
Brake Calipers
The brake calipers on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are single-piston floating calipers. This means that the caliper has one piston that moves back and forth to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor. The caliper is mounted to the steering knuckle and floats on the caliper bracket. This allows the caliper to move slightly as the brake pads wear, ensuring that the pads always make good contact with the rotor.
The brake calipers on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are made of aluminum alloy. This material is lightweight and strong, and it helps to dissipate heat. The calipers are also equipped with dust boots to protect the pistons from dirt and moisture.
Brake Rotors
The brake rotors on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are 11.3 inches in diameter and 0.87 inches thick. The rotors are made of cast iron, which is a durable material that can withstand high temperatures. The rotors are vented, which means that they have a series of holes drilled into them to help dissipate heat.
The brake rotors on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are attached to the wheel hubs. The rotors are held in place by two bolts.
Brake Pads
The brake pads on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are made of a semi-metallic material. This material is a combination of metal and ceramic fibers. The semi-metallic material provides good braking performance and is also durable.
The brake pads on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are held in place by two clips. The clips are attached to the brake calipers.
Rear Brake System
Brake Calipers
The brake calipers on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are single-piston floating calipers. This means that the caliper has one piston that moves back and forth to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor. The caliper is mounted to the rear axle and floats on the caliper bracket. This allows the caliper to move slightly as the brake pads wear, ensuring that the pads always make good contact with the rotor.

Brake Lines and Hoses
The brake lines and hoses on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE are made of steel and rubber. The steel brake lines are used to carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers. The rubber brake hoses are used to connect the brake calipers to the brake lines. The brake lines and hoses are routed under the car.
Master Cylinder
The master cylinder on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE is located in the engine compartment. The master cylinder is a reservoir that stores brake fluid. The master cylinder also contains a piston that is used to pump brake fluid to the brake calipers. The master cylinder is made of aluminum alloy. The master cylinder is connected to the brake pedal by a pushrod.
Brake Booster
The brake booster on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE is located under the dashboard. The brake booster is a vacuum-powered device that helps to amplify the force applied to the brake pedal. The brake booster is made of aluminum alloy. The brake booster is connected to the master cylinder by a pushrod.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The 2001 Toyota Camry LE is equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS). ABS is a safety feature that helps to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking. ABS works by monitoring the speed of each wheel and applying brake pressure to the wheels that are about to lock up. ABS helps to improve braking performance and reduce the risk of skidding.
The ABS system on the 2001 Toyota Camry LE includes the following components:
- ABS control module
- Wheel speed sensors
- Hydraulic modulator
The ABS control module is located in the engine compartment. The ABS control module monitors the speed of each wheel and controls the hydraulic modulator. The wheel speed sensors are located on each wheel. The wheel speed sensors measure the speed of each wheel and send the information to the ABS control module. The hydraulic modulator is located in the engine compartment. The hydraulic modulator controls the brake fluid pressure to each wheel.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The 2001 Toyota Camry LE is also equipped with a traction control system (TCS). TCS is a safety feature that helps to prevent the wheels from spinning when the car is accelerating. TCS works by monitoring the speed of each wheel and applying brake pressure to the wheels that are spinning. TCS helps to improve traction and reduce the risk of skidding.
