What does the vehicle braking system mean?
1 Answers
Automotive braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to specific parts of the vehicle (mainly the wheels) to enforce a certain degree of braking. The functions of the braking system are: to forcibly decelerate or even stop a moving vehicle as required by the driver; to keep a stationary vehicle stable under various road conditions (including on slopes); and to maintain a stable speed for a vehicle moving downhill. The reasons why the automotive braking system warning light comes on and the corresponding solutions are as follows: 1. Severe brake pad wear: Brake pads come in two types, with or without sensor wires. Those with sensor wires will automatically complete the circuit when the pads wear down to the limit, triggering the warning 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 case, the warning light will come on. Simply replenish the brake fluid in time. 3. Brake system oil leakage or false alarm: This directly affects the vehicle's technical performance, leading to wastage of lubricant and fuel, reduced power efficiency, compromised vehicle cleanliness, and environmental pollution. The warning light will come on, and the issue can be resolved by replacing gaskets or oil seals.
