Q:There is no red light. The display just reads Brake service warning. Visit workshop. The car does not seem to have any change in braking distance and the brakes do not squeak. Any suggestions you might have will be appreciated. Thanks.

This can indicate a brake fluid pressure drop. Brake systems with anti-lock brakes can be touchy. EIther way, brake fluid must be changed very 3-4 years, or severe braking problems can result. Call your dealership and ASK them about this. Usually, they will examine your car for free since this can be a dangerous issue. Also, check your brake fluid level.

Q:I changed the front brake pads of my mazda 95 protege without changing brake rotors or resurface last month and got 1000 miles on it.Now I need to change the front rotors because of its crack. Can I change rotors only or Is it imperative that I always need to change rotors and pads together?One more question, when I step on brake pedal, it doesn‘t stop right away. to fix this problem, what do I have to do? Do I need to change brake fluid? thank you

My hair is hard to strighten too. And it is long, thick, and curly. I like to have my hair different ways too. I just got a paul mitchel one and it works fantastic. I love it. It can be used for ethnic hair too. You can adjust to tempature. Or a chi one is great too. But you can't adjust the temp on that one.

Q:A hydraulic brake system is shown. Thearea of the piston in the master cylinder is6.39 cm2, and the area of the piston in thebrake cylinder is 1.75 cm2. The coefficient ofkinetic friction between the brake shoe andthe wheel drum is 0.484. How large is the frictional force between thebrake shoe and the wheel drum when a forceof 46 N is exerted on the pedal?If you can explain this as well it would be helpful. Thanks

The pressure in the hydraulic system is constant. So, when a force F is applied to the piston in the Master Cylinder (not the same as the pedal due to mechanical advantage and vacuum assistance in the braking system), then it produces a pressure P of F divided by the area of the piston: 46/6.39 N/cm2. When this pressure is applied to the cylinder piston, it produces a force f of P times the area of the piston: (46/6.39)*1.75 N. When this is applied to the brake drum, f is multiplied by the coefficient of friction (0.484) so the final force on drum is: (46/6.39)*1.75*0.484 N

Q:hi i have dodge avenger 2008 i was washing it up when i finished i went for a drive and pushed down the brake pedal and the rear left tire braked strongly but the other tires was braking normally and the rear left tire braked so strongly that it was stopped moving and the tire rubber were burned but the other tires braked normally .so whats wrong with the that tire ? is there is a problem with the brake system?

Possible water in emergency brake if drum set up if disc then caliper is going out.

Q:So I went to have my car serviced and the guy told me that the my front brakes have 3mm brake pads, which is bad I figured.I‘m just curious on whether or not a 3mm brake pad has already made significant damage to the rotors, calipers, etc.?I‘m trying to see if I need to change just the brake pads or the whole system/part of the brake system.Thanks

The pads being worn down doesn't affect the brake system. It just means pads will need to be replaced soon. The rotors are worn by normal use, no matter if the pads are new or 90% worn. Depending on the vehicle and how it's driven you may need to replace the rotors after 2 or 3 sets of pads. Now when the pads are completely worn, THEN you score the rotors if you keep driving. But as things are now, plan in doing the brakes next service, or sooner if they start to rumble The pads are usually designed to get noisy when they are 99% worn out. If they needed replacing now, the mechanic would have said only 1mm left, need to replace those. Instead he says, 3mm left, need to replace those soon.

Q:Already replaced break booster, master cylinder, 2 wheel cylinders, checked the brake calibers and all the lines and the brake pedal still goes down to the floor. Please help me with any suggestions of what it could be. Anything will be greatly appreciated.

if you replaced all the parts, did you bleed the brakes FULLY? and in the right order? depending on whether the brake system is a cross based system or a front-rear system the corners come in a different sequence. if it is a front-rear system then you need to start in the back on the passenger side, then go to the driver rear, then the passenger front then lastly the driver front. that way you chase all the air away from the master cylinder and get the brake system completely bled to prevent the pedal from sinking to the floor and feeling spongy

Q:I have a ‘94 honda prelude, recently the ABS brake light is on. can i fix or do i have 2 bring it 2 the dealer. If i can do it (DIY), where is the ABS system located in the car?

Most bikes still have separate brake systems but a few of the upscale models are integrated. To slow or stop, use the KILL switch next to the throttle, the engine dies, downshift 1 gear at a time and coast to a stop. Not real quick but it does work

Q:Hello.I am a Defensive Driving Instructor for a nationally recognized driver training program and I am conducting a survey. It would be awesome if you could answer the following statement for me:A) Anti-lock brakes are a must on my next vehicleB) It would be nice, but it is not criticalC) I do not like anti-lock brakes

It radically expanded it because the steam engine is what got factories, mass ironworks, and most importantly, the railroad industry going and it was VERY important to the coal and iron mining industry. The railroad caused a HUGE demand for iron because it was needed to build the tracks, and coals massively expanded because it was needed to power the steam engine of the locomotives of the time. The steam engine was ultimately behind a massive increase in the amount of jobs and opportunities for people to work for it, changing it forever.

Q:have to be notice a while that how do pilots brake the aircraft at tarmac‘s, taxi ways , gates etc some told me that the rudder pedals work upon at ground as the purpose of braking ,how far is this true ?

Yep - The rudder pedals work the main gear brakes, left foot left wheel, etc. That way, they can apply the brakes individually to help ground steer the aircraft.

Q:The charging system light and brake light flash in unison then pauses and starts again. I‘m repairing my brakes tomorrow.

if you have rear brake shoes and not pads. run the car in reverse and step on the brake hard. continue doing this until the brake pedal is higher and the lights are out. check fluid level in the master cylinder. this will be adjusting the brakes and should be done at regular intervals.
