Soft brake-pedal movement can be caused by?
air in the hydraulic brake system
Can air be used inside the brake system of an automobile?
Only if it's an air brake system. Otherwise, the presence of air in a hydraulic brake system would not be a good thing, at all.
Why do air brake systems take more time than hydraulic brake system?
Air takes more time to flow through the lines than hydraulic fluid.
Does a motor home with air brakes have another braking system?
It will have a dual circuit application air brake system. Some motorhomes may use an air-over-hydraulic brake system.
What is a brake bleeder used for?
Brake bleeding is technique used on a hydraulic brake system in order to purge the brake lines of any air bubbles. Removing air bubbles allows for the brake system to function properly.
What are the 2 types of brake systems?
Air and hydraulic brake systems.
Why will a cars braking system not work well if air gets into the brake fluid?
Air will compress under pressure, hydraulic brake fluid doesn't. Air in the system will give you a spongy peddle because of that.
What does it mean when the brake light on the dash board goes on while heavy breaking?
Air in the brake hydraulic system or defective master cylinder.
What are advantages of air brakes?
Air is in constant supply, so a leak in the air system won't necessarily cause a loss of braking power (a downside of the hydraulic brake system).
What is brake system bleeding?
Brake system bleeding is working on hydraulic brake systems. This is when the brake line has air bubbles in the line. You open the bleed screw on the caliper and pump fluid through the lines until all of th bubbles are gone from the system, an air bubble will steal pressure from the brake system and prevent good operation.
You lost all brake fluid in your 1993 Lincoln mark viii and when you had the brakes repaired the car pulls hard to the right when brakes are applied?
It sounds like your brake system needs to have the air bled out of the hydraulic system. If the fluid leaked out, then air got into the system. Air in the hydraulic system will usually make the brakes feel 'spongey' and somewhat ineffective. If the air is just in one part of the hydraulic system, it can make all of the braking power go to the opposite side. (You may have air in the left side, but have the ENTIRE system bled.)
What type of brake fluid does the pneumatic ABS system use?
Pneumatic = Air! There are brake systems that use a combination of both pneumatic and hydraulic components. In those combination braking systems you would use the hydraulic brake fluid that the manufacture specifies.
