| Description of the problem | When running and decelarating when arriving at a stop, i applied a regular pressure on the brakes. At some point in the breaking the system stop braking and truck keeps running. After few seconds and extra pressur the truck star braking again. Two months later i have to change both bearings on my truck. As a professionnal electrical engineer, i would say that the hybrid system seems defective and some current is flowing to the ground. This result in bearing discharge. This non-braking behavior is occuring frequently around 3 to 4 times a week. |
