October 2nd, 2012 09:15 AM #1Sirs,
Good day. Na observe ko sa ride ko na sometimes, habang umaandar at inaapakan ang preno, umiilaw yung indicator ng handbrake. Eto po ang sabi ng 2 mechanic na nakausap ko;
mechanic 1 - sira na daw ang hydrovac kasi humina ang preno. True naman po na medyo humina ang preno ko lately...
mechanic 2 - hindi daw sira ang hydrovac kasi nung tinanggal nya yung hose na may vacuum, malakas pa daw ang higop. Posible daw na yung sensor lang na nakakabit sa hydrovac yung sira...
Ano po kaya ang tamang diagnostic? Ano po ba ang symptoms na sira na ang hydrovac? Ano ang other possible cause kung baking umiilaw yung indicator ng handbrake pag inaapakan yung preno?
TIA

under normal circumstances, the brake warning lights up when: 1. the brake fluid is low, 2. the parking brakes are engaged, 3.on some cars like mercedes benz, the light turns on when the brake pads are worn beyond limits. if the light turns on other than the normal, check the wiring and the parking brake switch. for most part, this is the area that gets mechanically disturbed everytime you apply or release the parking brakes.
