Brake light

Reasons for lighting the brake warning Light during traffic, its damage, and methods of maintenance

Any warning on the car’s dashboard while driving means that there is a defect or a warning of a malfunction before it occurs, according to the brand, model and design of each car and its advanced technology . The lighting of the brake warning despite making sure that it descends during traffic means predicting a malfunction that did not happen and can be corrected. Therefore, we must know if the car is equipped with an independent bulb for brake oil and another for brake pads, or is it a single bulb for both purposes, so we find some old cars that the original front brake pads are equipped with a wire. It closes the ground circuit at the end of the pad and touches the clamp iron on the body of the drum, which leads to the lighting of the hand brake lamp We also find in some cars with a float in the cover of the brake pads box and when the oil level is low, we find that the hand brake lamp continues to light.

The reasons for lighting the brake lamp can be summarized to : 

A       malfunction in the handbrake that makes it refuse to go down to the other ·       

Damage to the brake switch or pigtail key ·       

Lack of brake oil level and this is what mostly happens. 

The end of the life of the brake pads, and this reason and earlier are related to the dashboard design and the car’s windshield As for how to check this malfunction yourself, it is done by examining the existing sensor connected to the liquid box and its place above the main piston.

There may be a defect in it and the brake liquid is detected by opening the liquid box. If the liquid level is low, it is the reason for lighting the lamp. Here the liquid must be supplied and make sure. From the breakdown of the hand brake, notice the bulb, then press the brake pedal quietly and the car is running at its normal speed, then increase the speed and press suddenly on the brake pedal and notice if the lamp lights up at high speed, the reason is the intensity of the oil movement inside the box, which leads to the decline and rise of the buoy with The intense movement of the oil, which leads to the lighting of the bulb and its extinguishment, or the cause is damage to the sensor itself But what are the causes of a shortage and a low level of brake fluid? 

the main reason is not following the periodic maintenance schedule of the car at the dates specified in the car’s manual, as well as continuing to drive off-road and operate the car for long periods without examining and examining it at the service centers, as well as oil condensation or leakage as a result of the loss of pipes and their consumption.

Drivers should not panic or fear, as it is possible to complete the road and the journey until it is possible to inspect and examine it so as not to damage the disks or drum and increase the damage to access to mechanical parts and electrical circuits,
