Besturn x80 parking electronic failure treatment method is: 1. Turn the key to on; 2. Step on the foot brake; 3. Press the electronic handbrake down for 5 seconds; 4. Pull the electronic handbrake up for 5 seconds, so that the electronic handbrake is initialized and reset. Precautions for using the handbrake: 1. Avoid pulling the handbrake 100%; 2. Do not park on a slope with the handbrake engaged for a long time; 3. Never pull the handbrake directly to brake when driving at high speed; 4. The handbrake should be applied in snowy weather and after washing the car in winter. Taking the 2018 luxury Besturn x80 as an example, its front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is torsion beam non-independent suspension, it is equipped with a 1.8l turbocharged engine, the maximum horsepower is 186ps, the maximum power is 137kw, the maximum torque is 235nm, and it is matched with a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission.
Last time when my Besturn X80 had an electronic parking brake failure, I immediately pulled over and firmly engaged the foot brake to prevent rolling back, because safety always comes first. I tried restarting the engine several times to see if it would reset the system, but the dashboard warning light remained on. I then checked the owner's manual and found the manual release method for the parking brake—usually involving removing a cover and manually turning a screw, but this was just a temporary fix. Later at the repair shop, the technician said it might be caused by dirty sensors or a wiring short circuit. They scanned it with a diagnostic tool and found it was a control module software issue, which was fixed by updating the firmware. They recommended regular cleaning of brake components and checking battery voltage, as these minor issues are common but shouldn't be ignored, as they could lead to brake failure. Addressing them promptly can save major trouble, and the repair cost was actually quite affordable, just a few hundred yuan.
