As previously stated, either the system works or it doesn't.
If you're wearing tires unevenly.... it doesn't work.
The Fault Isolation Manual should be consulted as to what area might be causing you problems.
Any one of the areas you listed could be causing issues.
The "BIT" or Built In Test on the front of the unit would be the first place to go.
No. If maintenance does their job right. There’s no degradation, only failures of components. Once the fault has been identified and repaired, the system is 100% functional.
If things are failing, you get flat and blown tires.
Anti-Skid does exactly what its name states. It keeps the tires from skidding. All wheel speeds are monitored. If one has a wheel speed less that the others, it would be treated as a skid and the hydraulic pressure to that brake is reduced (or stopped) until the wheel speeds back up.
Pilots still apply brake pressure as they see fit. The Anti-Skid works without any input from them at all. On a 767 there is no Anti-Skid switch in the cockpit. It's always on.
If the aircraft has Auto-Brakes, it does everything and (not a good idea) the pilots wouldn't have to have their feet on the peddles at all.
