Modified car brakes can pass annual inspection. However, if the modified brakes fail to stop the vehicle properly, it will affect the inspection results. The main requirements for annual inspection include the following points: 1. Vehicle appearance, including body paint, added foot pedals, exhaust replacement, and personalized patterns that do not match the photo on the vehicle registration certificate. 2. Vehicle frame number and engine number that are unclear, altered, or do not match the vehicle registration certificate. 3. Vehicles with unresolved violations, expired inspection, lost registration certificate, or expired compulsory traffic insurance policy must resolve these issues before inspection. 4. Vehicles with deviations in key indicators, such as exhaust emissions, braking performance, and light intensity, will not pass the inspection.

I personally experienced issues with brake modifications. I remember last time I installed a set of larger brake discs, thinking the improved performance would be fine. However, during the annual inspection at the vehicle inspection station, the technician pointed out that the modification didn’t meet the factory standards and disrupted the braking balance, resulting in an immediate failure. Later, after consulting professionals, I learned that brake modifications aren’t something you can just change at will. If done carelessly—such as using low-quality parts or altering the original hydraulic system—it’s easy to fail the inspection. The key point of the annual check is to verify whether the braking force and stability meet the standards. So now, I advise anyone considering modifications to conduct thorough testing first, ensuring it won’t compromise safety before heading for inspection. Don’t make the same mistake I did—wasting money and time.

What does DSC mean?

DSC refers to the Dynamic Stability Control system, whose functions are: 1. Optimizing driving stability during starting or acceleration; 2. Improving traction characteristics; 3. Identifying unstable driving conditions, such as understeer or oversteer, to help the vehicle maintain a safe driving direction. The working principle of DSC is: sensor technology is responsible for monitoring wheel speed, lateral acceleration, and yaw rate. This data is processed to obtain information about the vehicle's current movement state, and these data are compared with the data provided by the accelerator pedal and steering wheel angle about how the vehicle should currently move. If the two sets of data do not match, indicating that the vehicle's stability is threatened, DSC will activate and influence the braking system and engine management unit.

What are the symptoms of a burnt car clutch plate?

The symptoms of a burnt car clutch plate are: 1. Reduced power: The engine's power output is transmitted to the gearbox through the clutch. When the clutch is burnt, the clutch plate will slip, naturally reducing power; 2. Metallic friction sound: The friction surface of the clutch plate is fixed with rivets. Burning the clutch will wear out the friction surface, causing the rivets to come into contact with the flywheel, resulting in a metallic friction sound when engaging or disengaging the clutch; 3. Changed clutch pedal travel: Burning the clutch thins or eliminates the friction surface, altering the clutch pedal's travel; 4. Gearshift jerking: The clutch plate contacts the flywheel. When the clutch is burnt and the rivets are exposed, there will be a strong jerking sensation during gear shifts.

What Are the Hazards of Gear Grinding in Cars?

Hazards of car gear grinding: 1. The edges of the gears are worn down into rounded corners, reducing the engagement degree when shifting gears, leading to incomplete engagement; 2. Slight vibrations may cause gear disengagement; 3. In severe cases, it may become impossible to shift gears or engage gears, thereby affecting the car's normal operation and necessitating a major transmission overhaul. Gear grinding occurs in manual transmission models, and the condition is mainly due to incomplete clutch disengagement. The primary reason for incomplete clutch disengagement is the driver's operating habits. Normally, ensuring the clutch is fully depressed when shifting gears can mostly prevent gear grinding.
