DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOOT BRAKE AND HAND BRAKE

Motorists around the world know  how to use foot brake and hand brake, even non-motorists are aware of their operation but how many are actually aware of the working mechanisms of braking using the pedal and the handbrake? very few, i guess. So without wasting much time let's break down the difference Foot Brake and Handbrake: The Real Difference If you have always been looking for the answer to- “when should I use handbrake and foot brake,” then delve deeper into their mechanisms and find the appropriate answer? 1. Overview Commencing with the foot brake system, it is a pedal connected to vacuum booster, which is used to stop or slow down the vehicle’s motor. This is also known as the system of hydraulic brakes that multiplies the foot-force applied in order to stop a car weighing several tons. Whereas, the handbrake, also known as the parking brake, or emergency brake; is a straight pull handle near the steering column. This can also be a hand-operated lever...

Check Engine Light officially known as the Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) informs you when there's an emission-related problem with your engine control system. Depending on how critical the problem is, your check engine light may stay on continuously or just flash. It will most likely stay so you don't forget it needs checking If no other warning lights are on, and the engine is running normally (no unusual noises, smells, vibrations, etc.), you can assume the fault that is causing the Check Engine Light to come on is probably minor and won't hinder your ability to continue driving. But if other warning lights are on, you should stop your vehicle, come down and investigate the problem OBD II - HOW IT WORKS When the On-board diagnostics(OBD) detects faults that may lead to an increase in emission, the OBD sets a pending code in the vehicle's memory and if the same problem occurs on a second trip, under same condition the OBD system will then set a diagnostic tr...

BRAKE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Most people tend to forget that brake's fluid is hygroscopic i.e absorbs moisture over time and because of this it is often neglected until maybe when the brakes are relined. Brake fluids tend to be contaminated with moisture after two or more years which is why you must consider changing your brake fluid periodically When brake fluids gets contaminated it's boiling point reduces and this leads to internal rust, corrosion that can damage brake components like calipers, wheel cylinders, antilock etc and pedal fade when the brake overheat. Experts agree that changing your brake fluid every two to three year for preventive maintenance will prolong the life of the hydraulic components in your vehicle's brake system  When the time comes and you decide to change your brain fluid make sure you use the correct type suitable for your vehicle, to do this just refer to your owners manual for recommendation. A lot of Japanese passenger car and light truck applications  require ...
