Disc Brakes:
- Components: Rotor (disc), caliper, and brake pads.
- How They Work: When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the caliper to clamp the brake pads against the rotor. This friction slows down the wheel.
Drum Brakes:
- Components: Drum, brake shoes, and wheel cylinder.
- How They Work: Hydraulic pressure pushes the brake shoes outward against the inside of the drum, creating friction to slow down the wheel.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS):
- Components: ABS control module, wheel speed sensors, hydraulic control unit.
- How They Work: ABS prevents wheel lockup during hard braking by modulating brake pressure. This helps maintain steering control and stability.
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD):
- Components: Integrated with ABS, using sensors and control modules.
- How They Work: EBD optimally distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels based on load conditions.

Check Brake Fluid: Regularly check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. Brake fluid should be replaced according to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule.
Inspect Brake Pads and Shoes: They should be inspected for wear and replaced if they’re too thin. Worn brake pads can affect stopping power and cause noise.
Examine Rotors and Drums: Check for warping, scoring, or excessive wear. Rotors and drums should be resurfaced or replaced if they’re in poor condition.
Listen for Noise: Squeaking or grinding noises can indicate worn brake pads or other issues.
Feel the Pedal: A spongy or soft brake pedal might indicate air in the brake lines or a problem with the brake system. If the pedal is hard or doesn’t respond correctly, there could be an issue with the master cylinder or other components.
Regular Inspections: Have your brakes inspected regularly by a professional, especially if you notice any changes in braking performance.
