It is due to a leaking or malfunctioning brake booster pump. If this situation occurs before driving, it is recommended that the driver refrain from operating the vehicle and have it inspected at a repair shop immediately. If the issue arises during driving, the driver should slow down and stop the vehicle as soon as possible, repeatedly pressing the brake pedal to see if normal braking function can be restored. If not, a tow truck should be contacted. If the brake pedal simply becomes suddenly hard to press, the following reasons may also apply: 1. Foreign objects on the brake pads or calipers: During braking, these objects may cause friction, making the pedal feel harder. In this case, simply removing the foreign objects will resolve the issue. 2. ABS system intervention: During emergency braking, the ABS system may engage to prevent wheel lock-up and loss of control, causing the brake pedal to rebound slightly. Gently pressing the brake pedal again should restore normal operation.

The soaking time is 10-20 minutes, depending on the dirtiness of the filter screen. After soaking, gently brush the filter screen with a bottle brush to ensure each filter hole is clear and transparent, with no traces of dirt blockage. Then dry it with a special cleaning cloth, check that it is intact, and install the filter screen back into the unit. Observe whether it operates normally. When cleaning the filter screen, note that the water temperature should not exceed 50 degrees Celsius, and do not use laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, gasoline, banana oil, etc., to avoid deformation of the filter screen.
