How does collision mitigation braking system work?
The CMBS feature was designed to detect potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians in front of you. If the system detects such a collision, it will start by alerting you to the potential crash, then automatically reduce your speed and minimize severity if a collision is deemed unavoidable.
Who was the director of 2001 A Space Odyssey?
2001: A Space Odyssey began as an idea by director Stanley Kubrick [1928-1999] to create the “proverbial good science fiction movie.” He developed the screenplay in collaboration with British science fiction author Sir Arthur C. Clarke [1917-2008] based on Clarke’s 1950 short story “The Sentinel”.
Why are my disc brakes not working in my car?
If you have rear disc brakes, this procedure may not work because some makes and models have a separate emergency brake, which is connected not to the rear rotor and caliper, but to a special drum inside the rear rotors with a separate braking system. If you have this type of rear braking system, it is almost impossible to isolate the rear brakes.
What causes brake noise after new rotors and pads?
One of the major cause of brakes noise after new pads and rotors is having excess brake dust that is trapped between the caliper and the rotor.
Why does my brake pedal keep going up and down?
If every time you apply your brakes, your brake pedal pulses up and down, the problem is usually caused by the rotors being warped or out of true. As rotors age, they go through the heating and cooling process thousands of times, so it’s inevitable for them to lose their shape or trueness.
How can I test the power of my brake controller?
The tester should show power when the brake pedal is pressed, and should not show power when the pedal is released. If all connections are correct, proceed to Method 2. Use a 12V probe-style circuit tester to verify that power is present at OEM connector.
Why are the brakes locking up while driving?
The brake switch is the problem most of the time when it comes to the brakes locking up. I’ve been working on cars for 25 years and I can say that the problem is the brake switch. The rod can’t release the master cylinder all the way so usually adjusting the brake switch rod will unlock the brakes and solve the problem.
What’s the best way to release the emergency brake?
Lightly pull up on the emergency brake handle while holding the release button; this is so the emergency brake handle won’t lock in the braking position, and you can release it quickly. Only hold the emergency brake on for about three seconds because you don’t want to overheat the drums.
How to troubleshoot an etrailer brake controller installation?
Verify that the pin/slot layout of the wiring adapter you are using matches the layout in the OEM connector. The two plugs should be mirror images. Check the part number on the adapter and make sure it is the same as the listed fit for your vehicle. If all connections are correct, proceed to Method 2.
