The braking system in cars

As we know, the modern automotive brake system has been refined for over 100 years and has become extremely dependable and efficient. a braking system is the most important system in cars. If the brakes fail, the result can be disastrous. Brakes are actually energy conversion devices, which convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into thermal energy .And there are two complete independent braking systems are used on the car, service brake and the parking brake.

 

The typical brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes in the rear connected by a system of tubes and hoses that link the brake at each wheel to the master cylinder. Meanwhile, in most modern brake systems, there is a fluid-filled cylinder, called master cylinder, which contains two separate sections, there is a piston in each section and both pistons are connected to a brake pedal in the driver's compartment. When the brake is pushed down, brake fluid is sent from the master cylinder to the wheels. At the wheels, the fluid pushes shoes, or pads, against revolving drums or disks. The friction between the stationary shoes, or pads, and the revolving drums or disks slows and stops them. This slows or stops the revolving wheels, which, in turn, slow or stop the car.

 

The brake system assemblies are actuated by mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic devices. The mechanical leverage is used in the parking brakes fitted in all automobile. It can exert thousands of pounds of pressure on each of the four brakes.

What does in mean when my brake light stays on even though the parking brake is off?

I'm driving an 07 Nissan Sentra that has pretty much been a disaster since i bought it. First the Power steering went, then the ignition went. The car has 4000 miles on it!!!!!!! Now the brake light stays on eventhough the parking brake is off. The light does go off when I hit the regular brakes, but comes bake on when I hit the gas. What the hell is wrong with my P.O.S. car?!!!

check brake fluid level if its ok then check brakes if they are ok then replace sensor on brake master cylinder
