Brake torque variation (BTV) is one of two things that can causes brake pulsation Brake torque variation (BTV) and disc thickness variation (DTV) are the two leading causes of brake pulsation (some people refer to it as brake judder). The pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, steering wheel and in the driver’s seat. The causes and symptoms of BTV are different than pulsation caused by disc thickness variation due to lateral run out.
