What does it mean when your brakes are smoking?

What does it mean when your brakes are smoking?

Most likely, overheated brake pads come from a malfunctioning caliper (disc brakes) or wheel cylinder (drum brakes). In either case, pistons that transfer hydraulic pressure to the pads can corrode and stick. When stuck in the extended position, the pads can build up enough heat to smoke.

Why are my calipers smoking?

The most common reason for smoking brakes is a stuck caliper. If your car’s brake system uses floating calipers, they are designed to slide around to function properly. Calipers sometimes become stuck, locking the brake into place. This creates enormous friction as you drive, creating smoke and a foul odor.
