Premature Wear of Brake Pads in JMC New Boarding

Many JMC new‑boarding owners observe that their brake pads wear out much sooner than expected — sometimes in under 10–15,000 km. What are the most common causes of this premature brake‑pad wear e.g., riding brakes, heavy loads, poor pad quality, local conditions, and what inspection o r maintenance practices should be done to prevent such rapid wear?

The coolant engine temperature sensor — which monitors engine temperature and feeds data to the ECU so it can control cooling fan, fuel mixture, ignition timing, etc — can fail o r give incorrect readings if it becomes corroded o r its wiring gets compromised for example due to coolant leakage, moisture, o r heat exposure.

When the sensor fails, typical symptoms include: erratic temperature gauge readings jumping needle, sudden spikes o r s, engine overheating because the cooling fan may not get triggered, poor fuel efficiency o r excessive fuel consumption, rough idling o r misfires, difficulty starting especially when cold, even black smoke from exhaust due to wrong fuel‑air mixture and activation of the “check‑engine” light.

To diagnose: a mechanic should inspect the sensor physically look for corrosion, damaged connector o r wiring, check coolant leaks, and ideally test the sensor reading with a multimeter/scan tool to see if readings make sense compared to actual engine temperature. Some failures might be intermittent, so symptoms may come and go.

To resolve: if sensor o r wiring is damaged — replace the sensor and connector if needed, repair wiring o r sealing, and ensure coolant system is intact no leaks. Also verify cooling‑fan operation and ECU signals after replacement.
