Current Retarder Common Fault Diagnosis and Exclusion

Eddy current retarder of the common faults can be divided into electrical failure and mechanical failure.

A Common Electrical Fault:

  • Failure phenomenon:Vehicle starts power indicator light, the speed to reach a higher value (more than 3 ~ 10Km / h) when the light is still not ready to light, call hands-dial switch or foot pedal brake retarder does not work.
  • Cause of the malfunction:Such failures are mostly speed sensor is damaged or road mileage of the speed control unit signal line circuit, causing the speed control unit does not detect the signal.
  • Malfunction exclusion:Check mileage sensor is damaged, the signal line is open circuit, open circuit if the damage or replace the sensor or repair the line.

 

  • Failure phenomenon:When the vehicle stationary retarder on the bright lights of work.
  • Cause of the malfunction:Control the power switch of the power transistor breakdown, the control power switch is damaged.
  • Malfunction exclusion:Replace the control power switch.

 

  • Failure phenomenon:When operating with the brake pedal when the retarder, release the brake pedal immediately after the retarder can not be disconnected, the vehicle has the phenomenon of drag brake.
  • Cause of the malfunction:Air pressure switch damaged; braking system or exhaust gas path leakage does not shine.
  • Malfunction exclusion:Replacement of air pressure switch; Overhaul braking system gas path fault.

 

  • Failure phenomenon: Retarder lights work instructions correctly, use the retarder braking force when you feel small.
  • Cause of the malfunction: Retarder drive line part of the circuit; retarder part of the field coil circuit.
  • Malfunction exclusion: Repair drive harness; replacement retarder stator.

Note: When the retarder an electrical fault, if the vehicle is moving, inconvenience maintenance, the total turn-off power switch, the temporary closure of retarder.

B Common Mechanical Breakdown:

Current retarder braking system is the non-contact, non-contact various parts of the work of friction, if the routine maintenance, then the retarder of mechanical failure rate low, but some are also often related to eddy current retarder vehicle transmission retarder component failures caused by faults, are as follows:

  • Failure phenomenon: When the high-speed driving powerful vehicles jitter, vibration phenomena more serious. With the crowbar or screwdriver pry the rotor ran and found large amount of the rotor.
  • Cause of the malfunction: Transmission (rear axle) bearing impaired excluded: such failures often lead to the stator and rotor friction retarder retarder damage caused serious problems, once discovered, should immediately resolve the vehicles after the exercise.
  • Malfunction exclusion: Replacement of bearings; tighten the flange locking nuts.

 

  • Failure phenomenon: A larger vehicle is in motion or vibration of a crash, check the air gap no exception.
  • Cause of the malfunction: Retarder auxiliary bracket loose or damaged vibration pad.
  • Malfunction exclusion: Maintenance support bracket; replace the damping pad. Replacement pad vibration damping pad should be taken to ensure that there should be 3 ~ 5mm of compression.
