Since the carbonization of brake pads will cause various safety hazards, it will endanger driving safety in serious cases. So what caused it? The following brake pad manufacturers will give you a detailed introduction, hope it will be helpful to you!
1. Cause: The newly replaced brake pads are thicker, or the wrong brake pad type is installed.
Solution: Install the correct type of brake pads. And after replacing the brake pads, turn the brake disc by hand to check whether there is any jamming, before testing.
2. Cause: The high temperature resistance of the brake pads is unqualified. According to national standards, the suitable working temperature of automobile brake pads is 100~350℃. However, there are still inferior brake pads on the market that carbonize at 250°C, and the friction coefficient drops rapidly.
Solution: Install qualified brake pad products.
3. Causes: abnormal return of brake pad sub-cylinder, brake pad stuck in the caliper groove or stuck caliper guide pin, causing drag brake.
Solution: Check the brake system and regularly maintain it.
4. Cause: continuous downhill during driving, long time braking.
Solution: When going downhill continuously, lower the gear and turn on the auxiliary brake to control the speed. Do not step on the brake continuously, and it will work immediately; the main reason for the brake failure is that the brakes are used too frequently and the brake pads are too hot Causes the brake to fail. Therefore, when driving downhill in a mountainous area, do not continue to step on the brakes and try to use point brakes to prevent the brakes from overheating and causing brake failure.
5. Reason: Forgot to put down the handbrake.
Solution: carefully check the vehicle's various prompts before driving, and put down the handbrake. Many cars now have automatic parking functions to avoid such problems.
