If the brakes on your 1995 Lexus SC400 feel too hard, it could be due to a few reasons. One common cause is a malfunctioning brake booster, which may be failing to assist in brake application, leading to a stiff pedal feel. Additionally, issues with the brake fluid, such as being low or contaminated, can also impact braking performance. It's advisable to have a professional inspect the braking system to identify and address the specific issue.
You will have to get or do it yourself a scan, too many sensors to just try to figure out what's wrong.
My friend had the same problem with his sc400. Says it's usually a relay located not too far away from your left foot when your driving. Sry about not being too specific but it should be a good place to start.. I had this happen in my SC300. Check your fuses including A/C AND cigarette lighter fuse.
Applying brakes too hard or too quickly can cause the wheels to lock up and the vehicle to skid. This can lead to loss of control and potential accidents. It can also cause excessive wear on the brake pads and decrease brake efficiency.
Weight movement from the vehicle, such as the drop of the hood.
Applying any kind of brake too hard and too fast can cause the rider to fall, period. Disc brakes tend to be more powerful than rim brakes, so an inexperienced rider needs to pay extra attention.
the brakes probably got too hot, due to long and hard braking. Then it is possible that the brakes start to do that. The other problem might be that your brakepads are worn and have to be replaced.
Rear brakes do not have to be replaced too often. It's really hard to tell without looking at it. What you can do is to replace front brakes and test drive it, if you feel that your car brakes works just fine you do not need to replace rear brake shoes.
If the brakes are too loose that could be a result.
Rear drum brakes, that lock up during heartbreaking quicker than the front brakes, can be adjusted. The rear brake pads need to be backed off.
the friction between the brakes and the wheels.
It could be air in the brake line, or the brakes getting too hot from too much friction by using the brakes on a steep hill or riding the brakes, or there could be a problem with the master cylinder.
I would have to say that Midas is the fastest at servicing brakes. They specialize in brakes, but Monro is also a good company to check out, they too specialize in brakes.
