When you drive a Kia vehicle that's equipped with a disc brake system, it's essential to know how things work so that you can spot a problem early on -- before it develops into something major. How the entire process works is simple, and the calipers play a key role.

You initiate things by pressing the sole of your foot against the brake pedal in your cabin. That causes to master brake cylinder to send brake fluid through lines and hoses to pistons in the calipers. The mounting pressure causes the brake calipers to close brake pads onto the brake rotors. That creates the friction that slows the rotation of your wheels and causes you to come to a stop.

How to Spot Brake Caliper Issues

Eventually, though, even the best brake calipers can begin to go bad. If the brake rotors and pads don't disperse heat well enough, the caliper seals can decay and allow contaminants to gather and cause corrosion. Signs of trouble include:

Grinding, squeaking, or squealing noises when you brake
Your brake pedal feels unusually soft or squishy
Your Kia pulls to one side when you brake
Your vehicle is leaking brake fluid
Your dash warning light comes on
