How to solve the problem of the brake light being on?
1 Answers
The solutions for the brake light being on are as follows: 1. Normal phenomenon: The light will turn on when the handbrake is engaged or the brake pedal is pressed, and it will automatically turn off after braking ends. 2. Fault occurrence: If the brake indicator light remains on constantly, it indicates a fault in the braking system. Reasons for the brake indicator light staying on: 1. Handbrake not released: If the handbrake is not released or not fully released, it will cause the brake indicator light to stay on, reminding the driver to release the handbrake before starting. 2. Insufficient brake fluid: Lack of brake fluid can affect the car's braking performance and driving safety. 3. Leakage in the brake master cylinder or brake oil pipe: If brake fluid was recently added but the car still shows insufficient brake fluid, check for leaks in the brake master cylinder and oil pipes. 4. Air in the brake system: If you feel weak braking or insufficient braking force when pressing the brake pedal, it indicates air in the brake system. In this case, check the vacuum booster pump for any air leakage. 5. Worn brake pads: Severely worn brake pads can reduce braking performance, and in severe cases, the car may completely lose its braking function.
