How to Solve Parking Brake Failure?
1 Answers
To address parking brake failure, it is essential to first identify the cause of the issue before proceeding with repairs. Below are specific reasons for different parking brake failures: 1. Unusual Noises: If knocking sounds are heard from the parking brake while driving, stop the vehicle and inspect it. Check for loose fastening screws, control levers, or fixing pins, and adjust or repair them promptly. 2. Parking Brake Lever Not Staying Fixed: When using the parking brake, if the lever does not stay in the braking position, first release the lever head and check if the lever is bent, stuck, or if the spring is broken. 3. Parking Brake Malfunction: For this issue, inspect whether the gap between the friction pads and the brake drum is too large, if there is oil contamination or severe wear on the friction pads and brake drum, exposed rivets, or surface hardening, which may cause the malfunction.
