How to resolve the brake light malfunction in Haval H2s?
2 Answers
The reason for the warning light could be insufficient brake fluid or a short circuit in the brake pad sensor wire. Solutions are as follows: 1. Brake pads and brake discs are wear-prone components that require regular replacement. Once damaged, the warning light will illuminate. As the vehicle's mileage increases, brake pads and discs will continue to wear. When they reach a certain level of wear, replacement is necessary. 2. Brake fluid is a liquid that easily absorbs moisture. When the moisture content in the brake fluid reaches 3%, the warning light will come on, indicating the need for replacement. After replacing the brake fluid, it's essential to bleed the air from the brake system lines; otherwise, it may lead to reduced braking force and delayed braking distance.
Brake light failure can indeed be frustrating, and I recall that Haval H2S owners often encounter this issue. Generally, you should start with basic checks to see if the bulb has burned out. This is quite common, especially due to aging or unstable voltage. Open the trunk, locate the brake light position, and try replacing the bulb yourself. If the light still doesn't work after replacement, don't worry—the next step is to check the fuse. Open the fuse box near the driver's seat, find the one labeled 'Brake Light' or 'Brake,' and try replacing it with a new fuse. If that doesn't solve the problem, it might be a faulty brake switch or a short circuit in the wiring. For simpler cases, cleaning the contact surfaces of the connectors might help, while more complex issues may require using a multimeter to test the circuit continuity. Finally, if the problem persists or you find it too troublesome, it's advisable to visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for professional assistance to avoid accidents during nighttime driving. Regularly paying attention to your vehicle's lighting condition and performing minor maintenance can help prevent such annoyances.
