What are the reasons for the brake system failure displayed on BAIC New Energy vehicles?

The reasons for the brake system failure displayed on BAIC New Energy vehicles may be as follows: 1. Severe brake pad wear: Brake pads are divided into two types, with and without sensor lines. Those with sensor lines will automatically connect the circuit when the brake pads wear to the limit position, at which point the fault light will illuminate. If the issue is brake pad wear, the vehicle can still be driven for at least a few hundred kilometers, but it is not recommended to continue driving as worn brake pads can lead to longer braking distances, softer braking, increased noise, and damage to the brake discs. It is best for owners to develop the habit of regularly replacing brake pads, choosing the replacement cycle based on driving habits and road conditions. 2. 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 at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle. A lack of brake fluid will also be 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. 3. Other situations: In addition to the above common faults, there are several other possibilities that may cause the brake system warning light to illuminate, including brake system oil leaks and false alarms. Once the owner notices the brake system warning light while driving, it is necessary to slow down as much as possible, pull over promptly, and then troubleshoot the cause of the fault.
