What causes the brake failure display on the Baojun e100?
2 Answers
The reasons for the brake failure display on the Baojun e100: severe oil leakage from the master cylinder or wheel cylinder; damage to the piston seal ring of the master cylinder or wheel cylinder, or excessive air in the brake fluid line. Uneven brake wear: When braking, the vehicle pulls to one side, especially for cars without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), making it difficult to control the direction. The cause is uneven brake wear, expansion of a piston oil seal in the master cylinder, or oil leakage from a wheel cylinder. Excessive brake disc runout: Vibration during braking, with the steering wheel kicking back. The cause is excessive brake disc runout, deformation of the brake caliper, or the brake pads wearing into a conical shape. In such cases, the vehicle must be taken to a repair shop for inspection.
As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, I've encountered similar issues. When the Baojun E100 displays a brake fault light, there are usually several possible causes. The most common one is insufficient brake fluid level - check if the brake fluid reservoir is low and top it up if needed. Other reasons include excessively worn brake pads or air in the brake system causing pressure instability. Being an electric vehicle, its electronic brake system is more sensitive, so problems with sensors or the ABS module can also trigger the warning light. Last time my car had this issue, it turned out the ABS sensor was dirty - cleaning it solved the problem. Don't ignore this warning as driving with it could lead to softer brakes and potential accidents. Get it diagnosed professionally with a computer scan immediately. Regular maintenance checks on brake condition can save you a lot of trouble.
