The reason for the clicking sound when stepping on the brake is the normal activation of the ABS. The working process of ABS involves a cycle of locking and releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of intermittent rolling near the critical lock-up point. When the ABS is triggered by a sudden brake application, it produces a clicking sound, which is a normal phenomenon. In this situation, firmly pressing the brake pedal to the floor is sufficient. The function of the car's braking system is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Its working principle relies on the friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
