What Are the Causes of Brake System Failure?

[MadelynDella]

Introduction to the causes of brake system failure: Severe wear of brake pads: Brake pads are divided into two types: those with sensor lines and those without. For those with sensor lines, when the brake pads wear to the limit position, the sensor line will automatically connect the circuit, triggering the fault light. Low brake fluid level: Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the vehicle's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders located at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle. A lack of brake fluid is often accompanied by significantly reduced braking force, and in severe cases, a complete loss of braking power. This issue can be resolved by promptly replenishing the brake fluid. Brake system oil leakage or false alarm: If the brake system warning light comes on while driving, the driver should remain calm, slow down as much as possible, pull over promptly, and then proceed to diagnose the cause of the fault.
