What is the function of the brake alarm line
The brake alarm line is a safety device installed on the brake pads. When the brake pads are worn to a certain extent, the brake J line will be worn through by the brake disc, triggering the vehicle's brake J light to remind the driver that the brake pads need to be replaced. The function of the brake alarm line is to timely remind the driver that the brake pads need to be replaced, to avoid excessive wear and tear of the brake pads, which can lead to brake failure.
How long does the brake alarm line need to be replaced
The lifespan of the brake alarm line is related to the usage of the vehicle; Usually 60000 kilometers/3 years.
If the vehicle has a large mileage or frequently drives on highways and other road sections, the service life of the brake warning J line will be shortened. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners conduct an annual inspection of the brake system to ensure that the brake warning J line is in normal working condition.
Replacement precautions:
After replacing some models, it is necessary to clear the fault code. If the owner does not meet the relevant conditions, it is recommended to go to the 4S or repair shop to replace the brake pads together.
When replacing the brake alarm J line, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:
1. When replacing, it is necessary to replace the complete brake pad set, rather than only replacing the severely worn parts.
2. When replacing, it is necessary to use brake pad sets that meet the standards and ensure that their quality and performance meet the requirements.
3. After replacement, it is necessary to run in the brake pads to avoid poor running in between the brake pads and the brake discs, which may lead to brake failure.
In summary, the brake alarm line is an important component of the braking system and requires regular inspection and replacement.
When maintaining the braking system, car owners should pay attention to details to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle's braking system.
