Dealing with the electronic parking brake failure of the Besturn X80 requires a step-by-step approach. Simply put, first see if a temporary solution is possible. I've encountered this issue a few times. Start by checking if the vehicle's battery voltage is normal—low voltage often causes the electronic parking system to act up, and charging it might resolve the issue. If the fault light on the dashboard is on, try turning off the engine and restarting it. Sometimes the computer system freezes, and a reboot can restore functionality. If the problem persists, check the relevant fuses in the fuse box to see if any are blown, and replace them if necessary. Additionally, it's common for the electronic parking button or sensors to get dirty or malfunction. Clean the contact points or wipe the button area with a damp cloth. Don’t forget, the issue might involve the entire control unit of the brake system. If DIY methods don’t work, take the car to a professional repair shop as soon as possible—they can use a diagnostic tool to read the error codes. During regular maintenance, remind the technician to inspect the electronic brake components to minimize such issues. After all, safety comes first, as failures while driving can easily lead to accidents.
