What does the handbrake fault code mean?
1 Answers
The handbrake fault code is a warning for the electronic handbrake system maintenance. The main causes include lack of necessary maintenance, improper operation, and severe overload. Lack of necessary maintenance: Too much impurity in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, dirty brake fluid or mixed use of several types of brake fluid causing air resistance after heating, leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder, leakage in the air reservoir or pipe connections. Improper operation: Long downhill driving can cause the brake pads to generate heat through friction, carbonization of the brake drum, and complete failure of the braking function. Severe overload: Under the effect of gravitational acceleration, the vehicle's motion inertia increases, directly leading to brake failure.
