What Causes Hard Braking?
1 Answers
The reasons for hard braking include issues with the brake booster pump, foreign objects adhering to the brake pads and calipers, and the vehicle's ABS system engaging. In case of hard braking, you can ease off the accelerator to slow down and try pressing the brake pedal several times to see if braking force can be restored. Causes of hard braking: Issues with the brake booster pump. If the brake suddenly becomes hard while driving, it may be due to a vacuum tube leak or blockage in the brake booster pump. In such cases, the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection, and replacement may be necessary if required. If the brake becomes hard after the engine is turned off, it is usually because the brake pedal was pressed continuously after the engine was turned off, causing the vacuum force of the brake booster pump to be depleted. In this situation, simply restarting the engine to allow the brake booster pump to resume operation will resolve the issue. Foreign objects adhering to the brake pads and calipers. If there are foreign objects on the brake pads or calipers, the friction caused by these objects during braking may create a sensation of hard braking. This issue can be resolved by cleaning the affected parts. Vehicle ABS system engagement. During emergency braking, the vehicle's ABS system intervenes to prevent wheel lock-up and loss of control, which can lead to accidents. This intervention causes a rebound effect in the brake pedal. This is a normal phenomenon, and gently pressing the brake pedal again will restore normal braking.
