ECB System Brake Fluid and Maintenance. Brake, which belongs ‘active safety’ category, is the most important system when running a vehicle. Among the basic driving conditions of a hybrid vehicle, the regenerative brake function mainly recharges the hybrid battery by directing the vehicle to generate electricity without consuming the mechanical power used during deceleration and braking. Essentially, it recharges the hybrid battery by directing it to generate electricity. This can increase the range of Assist and EV racing on re-run and keep the overall fuel efficiency and organic emission control at a high level, as the power required by the engine can be maintained at maximum efficiency limits.
Each hybrid car is equipped with a computer brake control system that is different from the average car, as it is electronically controlled for this function. This is called the Electronic Brake Control System (ECB).
The system also includes a hydraulic brake system that is more complex than in a regular car, and maintaining its hydraulic pressure within the specified range is essential for the system to function. As a result, the longevity of the brake system operating units, the quality of the brake fluid is a crucial factor in maintaining proper functioning for a long period of time and, if the basic features are to remain the same for a long period of time, the running condition of the vehicle should be taken into account and properly serviced.
Failure to do so will result in an improper operation of the regulator and a failure of fuel efficiency, which in turn will have a serious impact on safety. It is therefore always necessary to use the brake fluid that matches the number recommended by the manufacturer. Due to the prolonged existence of Brake Fluid due to untimely evaporation, the addition of water vapor causes the boiling point of the Brake Fluid to drop and the resistance to decrease is due to the slug caused by the contaminated fluid trapped between the tiny holes in the moving units and valuable units such as the Brake Modulator. Causes shrinkage, drop in pressure, and leakage. The quality of brake fluid should therefore be inspected in al services to minimize expensive repairs.
Brake Fluid Replacement varies with the driving distance of a vehicle and driving environment also should be changed every 50000km or every 2.5 years before arrival, by taking into account of driving conditions in our country. It is also advisable to check the quality of it at the service of every 5000 km or every 10000 km.
Once the Brake Fluid has been changed, it must be bled using OEM scanning equipment and recalibrated to the position of the most sensitive operating units. We check the quality of the brake fluid and the system pressure in every km5000 or 10000km for every hybrid vehicle that comes into service and recommends on the services required. Also use only the manufacturers approved brake fluid and updates computer data through the OEM scanning tool, preparing the vehicle for stress-free journeys that ensures safety.
