What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking?
1 Answers
The reasons for the clicking sound when braking are as follows: 1. Normal ABS Activation: The ABS working process is actually a cyclic process of locking-releasing-locking-releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of critical lock intermittent rolling. When you brake hard and trigger the ABS, it will produce a clicking sound, which is a normal phenomenon. In this case, just press the brake pedal firmly to the floor. 2. Gear Shift Sound in Automatic Transmission Vehicles When Braking: If you hear a "click" sound from the transmission and gear lever when pressing the brake pedal, the main reason for this sound may be the electronic linkage between the brake system and the automatic transmission. Pressing the brake activates the transmission solenoid valve, producing a "click" sound. At this time, you need to press the gear lever lock button to shift gears, which serves as a safety reminder. 3. Actual Malfunction: If the clicking sound occurs even with light braking, or if the vehicle does not have an automatic transmission lock button, or if the sound is continuous or occurs intermittently, then you should pay attention. It is highly likely that there is a fault in the brake system or a loose connection in some part of the chassis. For safety reasons, the owner should take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible.
