Like all of the other fluids in your Nissan, brake fluid will gradually wear down over time. Certain factors related to your driving style can cause it to wear out more quickly, but even if you’re the most patient, cautious driver in the world, it will still wear out nevertheless. When it finally does wear out and come to the end of its useful life, your brake fluid can become corrosive, which is of particular concern to your ABS systems, which is made up of many metal parts which are particularly vulnerable to such risks. Changing your brake fluid as mandated by your manufacturer-recommended service intervals is the best way to protect those metal parts in your brake system, and guarantee the maximum braking power every time you need it.
Most modern vehicles come equipped with ABS lights on the dashboard, which are meant to indicate when your ABS (anti-lock braking system) is experiencing issues. When this light comes on, schedule an appointment with one of our certified technicians, and let them diagnose the issue for you. Your brake pedal may also feel softer or less powerful if your brake fluid is in poor condition, and you may experience strange noises when braking due to a lack of fluid. A burning smell coming from your brakes could mean that your brakes are overheating due to a lack of fluid or extremely-worn out fluid, at which point you need to schedule service with a highly-trained Nissan professional at Suntrup Nissan.
