Service brake system - hydraulic, double-circuit, with diagonal separation of the circuits, which increases the safety of vehicle operation. One of the circuits of the service brake system provides the operation of the brakes of the left front and right rear wheels, and the other - of the right front and left rear wheels.

In normal mode, when the system is in good order, both circuits work.
In the event of a failure (depressurization) of one of the circuits, the other circuit provides braking of the car, although with less efficiency. The service brake system includes the wheel brakes, pedal assembly, vacuum booster, brake master cylinder, hydraulic reservoir, ABS unit, as well as connecting pipes and hoses.

Brake system elements:

1 - ABS unit;

2 - hydraulic drive tank;

3 - the main brake cylinder;

4 - brake fluid level sensor;

5 - vacuum amplifier;

6 - tubes of the main brake cylinder.

A brake pedal position sensor is installed in the pedal assembly bracket, combined with a brake signal switch - its contacts close when the brake pedal is pressed. The sensor sends a signal to the ECU that the brake pedal is depressed. The vacuum brake booster is designed to reduce the force that must be applied to the brake pedal when braking the car by using a vacuum in the intake manifold of a running engine. The booster is located between the brake pedal and the brake master cylinder and is secured with four nuts to the pedal bracket. The vacuum amplifier is non-separable; if it fails, it is replaced with a new one.

Brake pedal assembly.

The brake master cylinder is attached to the booster housing with two nuts. On top of the cylinder there is a common reservoir for the hydraulic drive of the brake system and clutch, in which there is a supply of fluid. The tank body is marked with the maximum and minimum fluid levels. A liquid level sensor is installed in the reservoir, which, when the liquid level drops below the MIN mark, turns on the indicator in the instrument cluster.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the master cylinder pistons move, creating pressure in the hydraulic drive, which is supplied through pipes and hoses to the working cylinders of the wheel brake mechanisms.

The main brake cylinder.

Front wheel brake - disc, with a floating caliper, which includes a single-piston wheel cylinder.
The brake disc is ventilated for more efficient cooling.
Brakes of the left and right front wheels are not interchangeable.

Front wheel brake.

The left brake caliper is marked L. The right brake caliper is marked R.

The markings on the brake calipers.

Front brake caliper complete with guide and pads.

The brake pad guide is attached to the steering knuckle, and the caliper is attached with two bolts to the guide pins installed in the shoe guide holes. Protective covers are installed on the fingers. When braking, the fluid pressure in the hydraulic drive of the brake mechanism increases and the piston, moving out of the wheel cylinder, made in one piece with the caliper, presses the inner brake pad against the disc. Then the caliper (due to the movement of the guide pins in the holes of the shoe guide) is shifted relative to the disc, pressing the outer brake pad against it. A piston with a rubber sealing ring is installed in the cylinder body. Due to the elasticity of this ring, a constant optimal clearance is maintained between the disc and the brake pads (similarly, the optimum clearance is maintained in the rear disc brake).

Front wheel brake elements:

1 - shoe guide;

2 - outer brake shoe;

3 - guide plate;

4

5 - upper guide pin;

An acoustic wear indicator is riveted to the inner brake pad and an anti-vibration plate is attached, which also protects the boot of the brake cylinder.

Brake pad elements:

1 - anti-vibration plate for brake pads;

2 - acoustic brake pad wear indicator.

Depending on the configuration, two types of rear wheel brakes can be installed on cars: disc or drum.

1 - ABS sensor;

2 - brake hose;

3 - parking brake cable;

4 - return spring of the parking brake mechanism;

5 - protective cap of the pumping union;

9 - inner brake pad with acoustic wear indicator.

Elements of the drive of the parking brake on the caliper:

1 - lever arm;

2 - returnable spring;

3 - threaded rod.

Rear disc brake - with a floating caliper, which includes a single-piston slave cylinder.

Rear wheel brake caliper.

The design of the rear brake cylinder is very complex, since it combines a conventional hydraulic cylinder (similar in design to the front brake cylinder) and a parking brake mechanism. The parking brake drive works as follows. The parking brake cable acts on the drive lever and turns it. The spring returns the actuator lever to its original position.
Thus, the movement of the lever is transmitted to the threaded rod, which interacts with the threaded pin installed in the piston.

Threaded rod in the caliper cylinder.

The threaded pin can be rotated in the piston. Moreover, when the finger is pressed against the inner surface of the piston, turning is very difficult, and if the finger moves away from the piston, it turns easily on the thrust bearing.
The threaded pin in the piston is pressed (through the thrust bearing) by a spring. Thus, as the brake pads wear out, the threaded pin is unscrewed further from the threaded rod, allowing the piston to exit the cylinder and at the same time maintain a constant parking brake stroke.

This design of the rear brake cylinder determines the way the piston is recessed into the cylinder when replacing the pads.

The piston cannot simply be pushed into the cylinder.
Using excessive force will damage parts.
The piston must be screwed in clockwise and at the same time firmly applied to ensure proper friction and screwing of the threaded pin into the threaded rod of the parking brake actuator.
The shoe guide is attached to the rear suspension arm.
The disc brake pads of the front and rear wheels differ in design.

Piston with threaded pin.

Drum brake- with a two-piston wheel cylinder, two brake pads with automatic adjustment of the gap between the pads and the drum.

Rear wheel drum brake (shown with wheel hub removed for clarity):

1 - rear brake shoe;

2 - support post bracket;

3 - support stand;

4 - parking brake drive lever;

5 - spacer bar;

6 - upper clamping spring;

7 - working (wheel) cylinder;

8 - ratchet;

9 - adjusting lever;

10 - spring of the adjusting lever;

11 - front brake pad;

12 - brake shield;

13 - lower tension spring;

14 - spring of the parking brake cable.

The automatic adjustment mechanism starts to work when the gap between the pads and the brake drum increases. When the brake pedal is pressed, the pads begin to disperse and press against the brake drum, while the protrusion of the adjusting lever moves along the cavity between the ratchet teeth. With a certain amount of pad wear and depressing the brake pedal, the adjusting lever has enough travel to turn the ratchet one tooth, thereby increasing the length of the spacer bar and at the same time reducing the gap between the pads and the drum. Thus, the gradual lengthening of the spacer bar automatically maintains the gap between the brake drum and the pads. The wheel cylinders of the rear wheel brakes are the same. The front pads of the brake mechanisms are the same, and the rear pads are different (they are mirror-symmetrically installed non-removable levers of the parking brake drive).

The spacer bar and the brake ratchet of the left wheel have a silver color (the ratchet rod and the hole of the spacer bar are left-handed), and the right wheel are golden (the ratchet bar and the hole of the spacer bar have a right-hand thread). On the cylindrical ends of the ratchets, the ends of the spacer bars are put on, the same for the brakes of the left and right wheels. The adjusting levers of the brake mechanism of the left and right wheels are mirror-symmetrical.

and- brake mechanism of the left wheel;

b- brake mechanism of the right wheel;

1 - spacer bar;

2 - ratchet;

3 - the tip of the spacer bar;

4 - adjusting lever.

The parking brake lever, fixed between the front seats on the floor tunnel, is connected to two cables via the front cable and equalizer. The rear ends of the cables are connected to the levers of the parking brake drive, which are fixed on the rear brake calipers (disc mechanism) or on the rear brake pads (drum mechanism). The parking brake is adjusted by turning the adjusting nut located on the tip of the front cable.

Parking brake lever elements:

1 - parking brake lever;

2 - switch of the parking brake indicator;

3 - adjusting nut;

4 - front parking brake cable;

5 - equalizer.

Cars are equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Brake fluid from the brake master cylinder enters the ABS unit, and from there to the brakes of all wheels.

The ABS unit, mounted in the engine compartment on the left side member, under the vacuum booster, consists of a hydraulic modulator, a pump and a control unit.
ABS operates in response to the signals from the wheel speed sensors.

When the vehicle is braking, the ABS control unit detects the start of wheel blocking and opens the corresponding modulator solenoid valve to release the pressure of the working fluid in the channel.

The valve opens and closes several times a second, so you can make sure that the ABS is working by a slight tremor of the brake pedal at the time of braking.

ABS has a built-in brake force distribution (EBD) system, which acts as a pressure regulator in the hydraulic drive of the rear wheel brakes. If the rear wheels begin to block when the vehicle is braking, the intake valves of the rear wheel brakes in the modulator are switched to maintain constant pressure, preventing a further increase in pressure in the working cylinders of the rear brakes.

In the event of a malfunction in the ABS, the brake system remains operational, but the wheels may lock. In this case, the corresponding fault code is written into the memory of the control unit, which is read using special equipment at the service center.

Elements of the ABS unit:

1 - Control block;

2 - hole for connecting the brake tube of the right front wheel;

3 - hole for connecting the brake tube of the left rear wheel;

4 - hole for connecting the brake tube of the right rear wheel;

5 - hole for connecting the brake tube of the left front wheel;

6 - hole for connecting the tube of the main brake cylinder;

7 - pump;

8 - hydraulic modulator.

The front wheel speed sensor is installed in the steering knuckle hole and secured with a bolt. The sensor drive disk is pressed onto the outer CV joint housing. The rear wheel speed sensor is installed in the hole in the flange of the rear axle beam arm and is also bolted. The sensor driver disk is installed in the rear wheel hub assembly (the hub assembly is non-separable).

Pay attention to the markings on the brake pads. Buy new pads with the same marking. HANKOOK FRIXA rear pads for Hyundai Solaris are marked FPH26R.

Proceed as follows to replace the rear disc brake pads.

Replace the rear brake pads only with a set of 4. (two on each side). Before replacing brake pads, check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.

If the level is close to the upper mark, it is necessary to pump out part of the liquid, since after replacing worn-out pads with new ones, the level will rise.

2. Loosen the rear wheel nuts on the side of the replacement pads.

3. Raise and support the rear of the vehicle. Finally unscrew the fastening nuts and remove the wheel.

4. Remove the upper and lower bolts of the caliper guide pins, keeping the pins from turning with the second wrench.

5. Remove the movable caliper from the disc without disconnecting the brake hose, and secure the caliper with a wire to the suspension elements, not allowing the hose to twist or stretch.

6. Remove the outer ...

7.… and inner brake pads.

8. Pry off with a screwdriver ...

9. ... and remove the lower and upper retaining plates from the guide shoes.

Every time you replace the brake pads, be sure to check the condition of the rubber protective covers of the guide pins and the ease of movement of the caliper relative to the brake pad guide. If movement is difficult, lubricate the guide pin and its boot with grease.

10. Install a special tool on the caliper and, turning screw A, sink the piston into the slave cylinder.

11. In the absence of a device, you can press the piston in with the help of sliding pliers. Be careful not to damage the piston boot.

12. Install the retaining plates in the reverse order of removal. To prevent self-loosening of the caliper guide pin bolts, lubricate their threads before installing with an anaerobic thread lock.

13. Press the brake pedal to stop several times to select the brake clearances that appeared after the pistons were pressed into the cylinders.

14. Install the wheel.

15. Replace the brake pads of the brake mechanism of the other rear wheel in the same way.

16. Check and, if necessary, restore the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir of the master brake cylinder.

Replacing worn out brake pads with new ones, do not rush to immediately leave on busy highways. It is possible that at the very first intensive braking you will be unpleasantly struck by the low efficiency of the brakes, although the pads were supplied with proprietary ones. Brake discs also wear out, and new pads only touch their edges, practically not braking. Choose a quiet street or drive without cars and brake gently several times so that the pads rub in and begin to adhere to the entire surface. At the same time, evaluate the effectiveness of the brakes.

Try not to brake abruptly for at least the first 100 km. With strong heating of unworked pads, the top layer of their linings burns and the brakes will not be as effective for a long time.

Proceed as follows to replace the rear drum brake pads.

Details of the drum brake mechanism of the rear wheel (details of the brake mechanism are shown on the left side): 1, 9 - rods of the support pads of the pads; 2 - front block of the brake mechanism; 3, 11 - spring plates; 4 - front part of the spacer bar; 5 - upper clamping spring of the pads; 6 - working brake cylinder; 7 - rear part of the spacer bar; 8 - rear block of the brake mechanism; 10 - expanding lever of the parking brake drive; 12 - lower clamping spring; 13 - clearance regulator; 14 - backlash regulator lever; 15 - spring of the lever of the gap adjuster

Replacing worn out brake pads with new ones, do not rush to immediately leave on busy highways. It is possible that at the first intensive braking, you will be unpleasantly struck by the low efficiency of the brakes, despite the fact that branded pads are installed. Brake drums (and discs) also wear out, and the new pads only touch them not with the entire plane, practically not braking. Choose a quiet street or drive without cars and brake gently several times so that the pads rub in and begin to adhere to the entire surface. At the same time, evaluate the effectiveness of the brakes.

Try not to brake abruptly at least for the first 100 km. With strong heating of unused pads, the top layer of their linings burns and the brakes will not be as effective as possible for a long time.

Replace the rear brake pads only with a set of 4. (two on each side). Before replacing brake pads, check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If the level is close to the upper mark, it is necessary to pump out part of the liquid, since after replacing worn out pads with new ones, the level will rise.

You will need: Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers, pliers.

1. Engage the 1st gear (move the automatic transmission selector to the "P" position) and install wheel chocks ("shoes") under the front wheels.

2. Loosen the rear wheel nuts on the side of the replacement pads.

3. Raise and place the rear of the spring ... of the vehicle on the supports. Finally unscrew the fastening nuts and remove the wheel.

Brake booster

Your vehicle is equipped with a booster brake system that adjusts automatically during normal use.

If power is lost in a power braking system due to a spontaneous engine stopping or for any other reason, you can still stop the vehicle by applying more force than normal to the brake pedal. The braking distance, however, will increase.

If the engine is not running, the braking force will progressively decrease each time the brake pedal is pressed. Do not “swing” the brake pedal if the brake booster system is not working properly.

You can “swing” the brake pedal only if necessary to maintain control of the car on a slippery road.

CAUTION

- Brake system

Do not keep your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This will lead to unacceptably high heating of the brakes, excessive wear of the brake pads and pads, and an increase in the braking distance.
On long and steep slopes, shift to a lower gear and avoid prolonged use of the brakes. Prolonged use of the brakes will cause them to overheat and may eventually cause temporary loss of braking force.
Wetting the brakes can prevent the vehicle from decelerating as usual and will "drift" to the side when braking. It is possible to determine the degree of influence of this effect on the braking performance by a small test braking. Always check the brakes in this way after crossing a deep ford. To dry the brakes, apply them lightly while driving forward at a safe speed until normal braking performance is restored.
Always check the position of the brake and accelerator pedals before starting off.

If you have not checked the position of the accelerator and brake pedals before driving off, you can press the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal. This could lead to a serious accident.

In case of brake failure

In the event of failure of the service brakes while the vehicle is moving, you can emergency stop using the parking brake. The braking distance, however, will be much longer than usual.

CAUTION

Applying the parking brake while driving at normal speed can result in a sudden loss of vehicle control. If you have to use the parking brake to stop the vehicle, be extremely careful when doing so.

Disc brake wear indicator

Your car has disc brakes.

When the brake pads are worn out and need to be replaced, a high-pitched warning sound will be heard from the front or rear brakes (if equipped). This sound may appear and disappear, or be heard each time the brake pedal is pressed.

Remember that under certain road conditions or climates, the first braking (or braking) may be accompanied by a squeal of brakes. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunctioning brake.

ATTENTION

To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue driving with worn brake pads.
Always replace the brake pads complete for the front or rear axle wheels.

CAUTION

- Brake wear

This brake wear warning indicates that the vehicle needs to be repaired. Failure to heed this audible warning will ultimately result in a loss of braking performance, which in turn can lead to a serious road traffic accident.

What You Know About Cars: Everyone knows the fact that they have four wheels, a steering wheel, a hood, doors and a trunk. However, a car is a technically complex unit consisting of several interconnected systems.
One of the most important is not only the equipment, but also the control system.

Why?

If there is no controlling body, then the technology will simply be impossible to control. This means that the car turns into just a useless piece of metal on wheels.
Only a technically sound car can give its owner confidence on the road and allow him to enjoy driving. An important element in any car is its braking system, represented by brake pads or discs.

Replacing the rear pads with a Hyundai Solaris is not an event for cowards, but for responsible people. If the machine is not in proper technical condition, then it loses the proper level of safety and controllability, although it should be flawless according to the manufacturer's statements.
Korean quality is in no way inferior to Japanese or European, thanks to which the manufacturer has confidently established itself in the market and continues to delight motorists with its creations.

rear brake pads belong to cars in the budget price segment. That is, its owner is limited in funds and has to be very careful with his four-wheeled friend.

Replacing the rear brake pads Hyundai Solaris can be attributed to one example of timely replacement of consumables.
When buying a car, an official dealer offers its own maintenance services, however, most car owners can carry out simple repairs on their own, which saves a little money.

Replacing Solaris rear brake pads requires an initial understanding of how they look and how to replace them.
The Korean is equipped with a hydraulic dual-circuit brake system, one of the safest and most innovative. The dual-circuit vehicle is the product of the latest engineering efforts and the latest in safety.

Varieties of brake pads

As can be understood from the course of school physics, if the pads are involved in braking, then under the action of frictional force they release an incredible amount of heat. Therefore, only wear-resistant, durable materials that can withstand high temperatures are suitable for their production.

As part of the material for the production of rear brake pads for Hyundai Solaris, a substance consisting of more than 10 components can be used.
It is important that at least some of them transfer their reinforcing properties to the alloy. Another important point is the friction lining, which was originally asbestos. Thanks to him, it was possible to dissipate thermal energy, due to the very physical and chemical properties of the substance.

Unfortunately, it also had its disadvantages affecting human health, so it was replaced by ceramics, metals and organics. They pay off much better on the road by providing flawless braking systems.

Currently existing non-asbestos materials:

• 1) ceramics,
• 2) semi-metals (the most durable and affordable),
• 3) cermets,

Why?

All three materials have the advantages of their chemical nature, which is very important for the performance of the work. Semi-metals are also relevant, since they have a long wear life and for such a low price it is impossible to find an actual option.

Sintered metal refers to a joint duet of two raw materials, which has absorbed all the positive features and properties of the components. Therefore, the option on which to opt for depends solely on you and your financial capabilities.

Selection features

Before buying rear brakes for Hyundai Solaris, you need to evaluate the driver's driving style. Well, for example, if the owner loves aggressive driving, then there is no particular point in spending money on a cheap organic lining.

You will just throw money away and leave with you a negative opinion about the product, spreading it among friends and acquaintances. In turn, the pads are divided into conveyor, non-original or aftermarket flow, in other words, the original, non-original, non-departmental copy.
It is not worth resorting to the illusory opinion that the original is the best option.

The best consumables are stock, however, what if the stock has already consumed itself?

Yes, nothing lasts forever, and sooner or later car owners are faced with a similar problem, but some are unfortunately lost
Rear brake pads for Solaris from official dealers are not the cheapest to say the least. But you should not despair, there are alternative ways out of the situation. On the service market, you can face a lot of components and their manufacturers, similar to the original.

The fear of non-original brake pads was due to their critically poor quality. Due to the fact that they repeat the original, but do not have the proper quality, their reputation is damaged. Anyway, it's not worth worrying about, and buying the original or a duplicate is purely your decision.

If finances allow, it is better to buy original products from the manufacturer. However, if you are still limited in them, want to save a little and have already encountered copies of good quality, then you can buy them. But still, the purchase is purely your decision and no one has the right to take it for you

Replacing brake pads

Replacing the rear brake pads with a Hyundai Solaris is very simple, and there is a very interesting nuance. Due to the fact that the car is front-wheel drive, 80% of the entire load is applied to the front brakes. The rear ones have a longer resource due to the low braking effect exerted on them. Wear is indicated by an acoustic indicator located on the inside of the pad.

As soon as the level of wear approaches a critical level, the components emit a characteristic sound. Another reason besides the wear of the pads is the oiling of their linings. Following the oily, the frame delamination follows, chips and irregularities appear.
The pads should be changed even if the brake disc has been replaced. The procedure is complex, otherwise the car will not be confident on the road.

Care should be taken when using any components, as the more carefully you use them, the longer they will last. Accordingly, buying once every three or five years will not be very expensive, will it?

How to change the rear pads for a Hyundai Solaris?

To replace the rear pads on a Hyundai Solaris, you need to use the proper set of heads and a flat screwdriver. At the preparatory stage, and first of all, it will be necessary to pump out fluid from the hydraulic reservoir to remove the disc. To begin with, remove the lower guide, then the upper one, and then follow the instructions:

• remove the brake disc and caliper.
• We remove the worn-out shoe and install a new one in its place (similarly for the remaining wheels).
• If you have difficulty putting on the pads, you will need to press the brake disc between the pads with a screwdriver.

After the event is held to replace the brake pads, most of the experts insist that at least the first thousand km should be driven very carefully. You should not accelerate to 180 km / h, and then brake sharply or enter a drift on a corner.

The pads will gradually rub against the discs with careful use. The resource of any pads is in the range of 40-60 thousand km, and the replacement of the rear pads on the Hyundai Solaris is similar to the front ones. Due to the fact that they are less stressed, their resource is up to 80 thousand km.

Brake pads, like brake discs, are typical consumables that are repeatedly changed during vehicle operation. What exactly to choose is your right, but there is still no optimal solution of what is better to install - hard pads that will wear out slowly, erasing the disc, or soft ones that will wipe off themselves, gently wearing out the brake disc. Material costs are generally the same - that is the frequent replacement of soft pads, which is a rare but expensive replacement of brake discs.

The list of compatible brake pads for foreign cars in Izhevsk was compiled based on the experience of owners of Hyundai Solaris / Accent IV cars.

Rear disc pads:

• - Original Mobis [dealerships for Russia] (article 58302-1RA30);
• - Sangsin Brake SP1239 [conventional, two dust extraction grooves instead of one] (article SP1239

Replacing brake pads Hyundai Solaris timely, this is a guarantee of your safety. Therefore, you should not ignore this procedure. Moreover, such a car repair is within the power of almost any driver. Replacing brake pads on a Hyundai Solaris is required as both the pads themselves and the brake discs wear out. After all, the discs themselves change only with the pads.

The Hyundai Solaris brake mechanism is equipped with two independent brake systems: working and parking. The first, equipped with a hydraulic drive, provides braking when the car is moving, the second brakes the car in the parking lot.

The working system is double-circuit, with a diagonal connection of the brakes of the front and rear wheels. The first circuit of the hydraulic drive provides the operation of the right front and left rear brakes, the second - the left front and right rear.

Brake mechanism front wheels Hyundai Solaris disc, with automatic adjustment of the gap between the pads and the disc with a movable bracket. A single-piston working brake cylinder is installed on the movable caliper. The shoe guide is attached with two bolts to the steering knuckle. The movable bracket is bolted to the guide pins installed in the holes in the shoe guide. The guide pins are lubricated with grease and protected by rubber boots. A piston with an O-ring is installed in the cylinder cavity of the movable bracket. The elasticity of this ring maintains an optimal clearance between the pads and the ventilated disc, the surface of which is protected by a brake shield. The complete process of replacing the front pads for the Hyundai Solaris is on this page.

To the question, when to change the brake pads for Hyundai Solaris, the answer can be given by special acoustic indicators standing on the pads. Simply put, there are metal "tweeters" on the pads, which begin to emit a disgusting sound when braking, if the thickness of the pad approaches a critically low level.

Disc brakes rear wheels Hyundai Solaris has a similar design to the front brakes. The brake pads are powered by one hydraulic slave cylinder. The optimum disc-to-pad clearance is maintained in the same way as the front wheel brakes. In addition, the rear brakes also perform the additional function of a parking brake (handbrake).

Parking brake Hyundai Solaris driven mechanically. Structurally, the parking brake consists of a lever installed on the base of the body between the front seats, a front cable with an adjusting device and an equalizer, to which two cables are connected, and levers installed in the rear wheel brakes. The parking brake does not require any special maintenance. When the parking brake is raised, the cable is pulled and the brake piston presses the rear pads against the disc. Detailed instructions for replacing rear pads Hyundai Solaris.

It is worth noting that the front pads wear out much more intensively than the rear ones, and therefore require more frequent replacement.
