About the piece:
The brake master cylinder, or brake master cylinder, is a key component in a Mazda's hydraulic brake system. This cylinder is the main component that converts the mechanical pressure generated by the driver's depressing of the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that forces brake fluid through the pipes to apply the brakes to the wheels.
Its function:
- Pressure conversion: Converts mechanical force into hydraulic pressure that drives brake fluid.
- Pressure Distribution: Distributes pressure evenly to the front and rear brake system to ensure efficient braking performance.
Symptoms of damage:
- Soft brake pedal: The brake pedal may feel loose when you press it.
- Brake fluid leak: Notice oil spots under the car or near the brake caliper.
- Poor brake response: You may need to press harder on the pedal to apply the brakes.
- Brake light on: Indicates a problem with the brake system, including the brake housing.
