What does a brake system failure mean?

2 Answers

Brake system failure refers to the ABS function being disabled; severely worn brake pads that have failed; or brake fluid that does not meet requirements. The methods to resolve the illumination of the brake system failure warning light are as follows: 1. Severely worn brake pads. Brake pads come in two types: those with sensor wires and those without. Brake pads with sensor wires will automatically complete the circuit when worn to the limit, triggering the warning light. In this case, 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. The warning light will illuminate in this scenario. Simply replenishing the brake fluid promptly will resolve the issue. 3. Brake system oil leakage or false alarms. This directly affects the vehicle's technical performance, leading to wastage of lubricants and fuel, reduced power efficiency, compromised vehicle cleanliness, and environmental pollution. The warning light will turn on, and replacing gaskets or oil seals is necessary to fix the problem.

I drive quite a lot, so when I hear about brake system failure, I immediately think of issues with the brakes—like no response when pressing the pedal or poor deceleration, which is no joke. Last time I encountered this, the brake warning light came on, and after inspection, it turned out the brake fluid was low due to evaporation from high temperatures or minor leaks. Excessive wear on the brake pads can also cause this, as they can't generate enough friction to slow down. If the ABS system's sensors fail or the module malfunctions, it affects the anti-lock function, making it even more dangerous. When this happens, stay calm, slow down, pull over safely, and turn on the hazard lights. It's crucial to visit a repair shop promptly to check the fluid, pads, and pump. Never delay—safety comes first. Remember, regular maintenance can prevent problems before they arise.

Is there a penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 5%?

Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways and urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 5% will result in a 3-point penalty. The following are the hazards of speeding: 1. Reaction time: Speeding reduces the driver's reaction time. Speeding increases the frequency of overtaking, requiring higher speeds for each overtaking maneuver, while the overtaken vehicle must slow down to yield, thereby increasing the number of weaving and conflict points on the road. During this process, the driver's reaction time is significantly reduced, increasing the likelihood of accidents. 2. Judgment: Speeding affects the driver's judgment. The faster the speed, the farther the driver's focus point and the narrower the field of vision, leading to poorer speed judgment. Not only does it impair the driver's ability to accurately judge their own vehicle's speed, but it also causes underestimation of the speeds of pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, and other motor vehicles, while weakening the ability to assess road conditions.

What Causes Sudden Abnormal Tire Pressure Warning in a Car?

Abnormal tire pressure warnings are generally caused by the following three reasons: Tire Pressure Anomaly: The system typically triggers an alert when pressure falls below 1.8bar or exceeds 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset Tire Pressure Monitoring System: If the system isn't reset after tire inflation, it continues to display previously recorded data, causing the warning light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: These sensors, installed inside tires and connected to the inflation valve, monitor tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), they may trigger the warning light. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new components. Tire Pressure Reset: This refers to resetting the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing any tire pressure issues. Tire Pressure Reset Method: 1. Turn on the ignition 2. Press and hold the tire pressure reset button until hearing a "beep" 3. Release the button - the system will now store current normal pressure data and erase previous records 4. The dashboard warning light will extinguish, indicating successful reset.

How to Properly Depress the Clutch?

Correct methods for depressing the clutch include: 1. Use the ball of your left foot to press the clutch pedal; 2. Utilize the extension and flexion movements of the knee and ankle joints to depress or release the clutch pedal; 3. When depressing the clutch pedal, do so swiftly and press it all the way down in one motion; 4. When releasing the clutch pedal, follow the 'two fast, two slow, one pause' technique. Precautions for depressing the clutch: When not using the clutch, keep your foot off the clutch pedal to avoid accelerating the wear of the clutch release bearing. The clutch, generally referring to the clutch assembly, is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission.
