What Causes the Brake Pedal to Be Hard to Press in New Energy Vehicles?
1 Answers
Here are the possible reasons why the brake pedal in new energy vehicles is hard to press: 1. Vacuum booster issue: The vacuum booster pump may be leaking or malfunctioning. It's important to note that the force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If it fails, the brake loses its power assistance, making it difficult to press. 2. Brake booster pump problem: Pressing the brake pedal after the engine is turned off is also related to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump continuously generates vacuum only when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on the residual vacuum stored earlier, which typically depletes after a few presses. However, this condition is restored after the engine is started and is not considered a malfunction.
