Brake pedal sensor replacement
Replacing the brake pedal sensor in a car solves the following problems:
- Incorrect Brake Response: A malfunctioning sensor will result in delayed or incorrect brake response, which is especially dangerous in emergency situations. Accurate signals from the sensor are critical for timely and effective braking.
- Brake Assist malfunction: This system increases the pressure in the brake system in emergency situations. Erroneous readings from the sensor lead to insufficient braking assistance.
- Incorrect Dashboard Indicators: Incorrect gauge operation causes erroneous warnings, such as brake failure, even when there is no real problem.
- Impact on the functionality of automatic safety systems: In modern vehicles, the brake pedal sensor interacts with various safety systems such as automatic emergency braking. Sensor failure reduces the effectiveness of these systems.
- Problems with the electronic brake force distribution system: The system distributes the braking force between the front and rear axles of the vehicle. A faulty sensor will disrupt this distribution, reducing braking efficiency and increasing the risk of skidding.
- Anti-lock brake system problems: The anti-lock brake system uses signals from the brake pedal sensor to determine when to activate. Incorrect data may prevent the wheels from locking up effectively when braking.
Replacing the brake pedal sensor helps restore proper operation of all of these systems, improving vehicle safety and reliability.

ABS/Traction Control Light
The ABS and traction control lights are likely on due to driving on slippery terrain, indicating a "mode" the car activated. However, damaged brake and steering system sensors could send incorrect signals, causing the light to stay on continuously. Another possibility is problems with traction or brakes, such as low brake fluid.
Don't ignore those flashing ABS and traction control warning lights on your car's dashboard. They indicate that something is wrong with your vehicle's braking system, requiring immediate attention. The sooner you take action, the better, as the damage could become more severe, leading to costly repairs.
