Whats wrong with my RXV? Newbie

smokey tennis shoe · 12-24-2014, 02:41 PM

ok, so this is what I did today :

I turned ( tightened) the nut on the end of the brake lever spring. I turned it about 3 half turns, then test drove, and it seems to have fixed the problem, where I no longer have to lift the brake pedal with my toe.

So I by turning this nut, it appears that I "adjusted" the weak spring?

Am I correct that this was the fix? Can I assume in the future, when I come across this problem again, that this is the solution??

Experts ??

Probably a permanent fix.
We have adjusted spring.
We have also had a few bad brake switches and a few bad
Encoders.

Switch is plunger operated,encoder mounted on pedal pivot.

Since lifting pedal "fixed" problem, it sounds like mechanical problem.

If problem was motor mounted
"Parking/emergency" brake,
Lifting brake pedal would have no effect.

Good luck !!!
