A brake monitoring system for a motorized vehicle having fluid brakes including a pressurized fluid chamber having an engaging means which exerts pressure on a braking member that is connected to the engaging means, whereby the brake shoes of the braking member are placed in contact with a brake drum causing the motorized vehicle to brake. A measurement is made of the fluid pressure exerted by the fluid chamber on the engaging means causing the engaging means to be extended toward the braking member. A measurement is also made of the distance the engaging member is extended from the fluid chamber toward the braking member. A determination is made from the measured fluid pressure and measured engaging means distance as to whether the brakes are out of adjustment at any given fluid pressure and engaging means distance.
