Solutions for Landwind X7 electronic parking brake (EPB) failure: First, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, reconnect it after 10 minutes, and then start the vehicle to check. If the issue persists, it might be a module error. Use a decoder to read the fault codes. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. The Landwind X7 is a vehicle from the Landwind brand, model X7, with the code name E32. Its body dimensions are 4421mm in length, 1911mm in width, and 1631mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. In terms of appearance, the Landwind X7 features a honeycomb grille with a blackened treatment, connected to the large headlights on both sides. The internal design of the headlight assembly has also been redesigned, with the adjusted daytime running lights enhancing overall recognizability.
I recently dealt with an EPB fault code issue on the Landwind X7's electronic parking brake. First, don't forcefully pull the EPB switch as it can easily burn out the motor. Try restarting the engine first - sometimes it's just a system glitch. If the dashboard shows a red warning light, it's likely a genuine fault. Pull over safely immediately, shift to P gear and use the mechanical handbrake as emergency measure. Common causes include: worn brake pads triggering protection mode; water ingress causing motor rust and seizure; or oxidized wiring connectors. Last winter, our workshop saw several cases where high-pressure car wash jets directed at wheel hubs caused motor short circuits. In emergencies, find level ground to park securely and use a screwdriver to activate the emergency release hole under the steering wheel (never attempt this on slopes). Repairing these motorized parking brakes isn't cheap - a single OEM motor costs over 600 yuan.
