What causes the Volkswagen Tiguan to fail to start and display a brake fault?
1 Answers
Reasons and solutions for the illuminated brake system fault light in a car: 1. Severely worn brake pads: Brake pads come in two types—those with sensor wires and those without. For those with sensor wires, when the brake pads wear down to the limit, the sensor wire automatically completes the circuit, triggering the fault light. The brake pads need to be replaced. 2. Low brake fluid level: Insufficient brake fluid is often accompanied by noticeably reduced braking power, and in severe cases, a complete loss of braking force. In this situation, the warning light will illuminate. Simply replenishing the brake fluid in time will resolve the issue. 3. Brake system oil leakage or false alarm: This directly affects the car's technical performance, leading to wastage of lubricating oil and fuel, reduced power efficiency, compromised vehicle cleanliness, and environmental pollution. The fault light will turn on, and the issue can be resolved by replacing gaskets or seals.
