206: Hand brake light and stop ...

Hello everyone. There if someone can help me. For a while now, the car comes to me in the dashboard both lights, the handbrake and the stop accompanied by a pitod.

The case that I have come on a trip and now it is doing it more. I have looked at the brake fluid and has more than half.

The liquid that is called Creo Dot4, isn't it ??.

It has almost 50,000 km the car and I don't know if the pills can be, although 40,000 km told me that they were still in the middle of life ...

please, please

When the pills are unreasonable, the brake fluid level of the pump deposit is the dashboard that you call that the instrument box is, the light is listed in plain or in climbs l You can find out completing the level of brake fluid if it stops giving the signal is the leveling level that warned you but when you change the pills you will be enough for you.

Yes, the brake fluid in your car is Dot-4 ISO 1703.

If when filling with brake fluid the red witness does not turn off, you have to think about the following:

the float of the level sensor has been struck in the brake fluid boat, to try it, the only thing you have to do is disconnect the connector that reaches the plug of the brake fluid and with the engine running and with the engine running and the brake down and the brake down and the brake of the hand The light goes out or remains on.

If it remains on, you have to rule out this and go to the microinterrupter of the handbrake, it is a kind of small button that remains pressed when you lower the handbrake, if it has moved or the cables make mass, the light turns on as if you had left the hand brake on.

The third cause is the wear witness of the brake pads or the wear cable of wear, sometimes, by the rubbing, the cable is pela and despite the fact that the pills are in good condition, it makes mass and turns on the light (although not always the wear light and the brake failure is the same).

All the best.

Thank you very much for the answers. They have told me in the workshop that looks like the storage of the brake fluid was a bit dry.

Fill it and now to observe it. Anyway, as soon as I change the pills I will purge and put a new liquid.

Do you know where to find all km and what reviews would you have to do to the car?

I don't have the car manual, that's why I ask you for help.

Thank you very much again.

Tell me what engine it has and the year of the car to be more accurate.

The brake fluid is changed every two years, just like the engine antifreeze.

Eye when you change pills because if you have fills the level of the brake fluid to the maximum, it is most likely to overflow when you open the tweezers and put everything lost. (The brake fluid is eaten the paint) So first of all, the liquid of the boat aspires before changing the pills and when you have finished the operation, stuffed to the maximum level.

Another thing, the brake fluid, does not disappear without more \ "that is, if it is low to the point of lighting the warning pilot means that somewhere has been lost. To some extent it is normal that the liquid level falls as the wear, rear brake pills, discs and brake shoes occurs, but still stays between Min and Max.

My advice is that you check the rear drums because it is easy for some rear brake hypes to be burst, the leak is imperceptible in the touch of the pedal, but the hype submits the liquid and apart from putting everything lost with brown mud (liquid + shoe dust) makes that wheel sign much less than what would be normal.

All the best.
