How to Solve the Abnormal Noise When Stepping on the Brake in P Gear?
1 Answers
P gear stepping on the brake and hearing a "click" sound does not necessarily mean the vehicle has a malfunction. The following two situations can cause this phenomenon: 1. The limit relay is operating: The function of the limit relay is to prevent the driver from shifting gears by mistake. If the driver does not step on the brake, the vehicle's limit relay will lock, and the vehicle cannot shift gears. If the driver steps on the brake at this time, the limit relay will disconnect and make a "click" sound, and then the vehicle can shift gears. This is a very normal phenomenon. 2. The vehicle is parked on a slope: When the vehicle is parked on a slope and shifted into P gear, a similar sound may also occur. The main reason is that when shifted into P gear, the transmission lock structure is not yet in place. After releasing the brake, the vehicle will slide back slightly, and the transmission lock mechanism will fully engage, making a similar sound during engagement. The solutions for the abnormal noise when stepping on the brake in P gear are as follows: 1. Pay attention to the operation sequence when parking on a slope: The correct way to park on a slope is to stop by stepping on the brake - pull up the handbrake - release the foot brake - shift into P gear after the vehicle is completely stopped. Avoid shifting into P gear before pulling up the handbrake. 2. Replace the limit relay: If the abnormal noise is very loud, it indicates that the limit relay may be aging. In this case, the only solution is to replace the limit relay.
