There are some myths about brake pads, rotors and hydraulics that need to be busted. These myths can hurt and hinder a technician’s ability to diagnose and solve some REAL brake problems and customer concerns.
On the surface, some of these myths actually seem to make sense. The logic can seem sound and explain a problem, but they do not resolve the real issues with a brake system.
Here are some common problems or failures that you should be on the lookout for.
Reflashing and reprogramming is a necessary service for repairing vehicles.
Learning the cryptic codes on the brake pad or shoe will tell you a lot of information.
Engineers have devised two strategies that can be called the “immune system” for the electrical system.
Poor clutch release makes it difficult to start and stop the vehicle or change gears.
The first thing you need to realize is that no seal is perfect.
Replacement of the steering damper with AE level or newer is recommended.
Reducing brake drag on late-model vehicles is not accomplished by a single component; it takes a system.
