What may be the sign of a broken brake cable in a passenger car?
aIncrease in the braking force at uniform pressing on the brake pedal.
bLittle or no resistance of the brake pedal u[pon pressing.
cA very high resistance of the brake pedal upon pressing.
Why?
A ruptured brake line allows fluid to escape and reduces pressure in the system. The pedal may therefore offer very little resistance and sink farther than usual. Increased braking force or a very stiff pedal are not typical symptoms of this kind of leak.
