How to Fix an Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction?
1 Answers
Electronic parking brake malfunctions typically manifest as either the inability to engage or release the brake. Solutions include: 1. If the electronic parking brake fails to engage, try restarting the vehicle and attempting again. If unsuccessful, a detailed inspection or repair at a repair shop or 4S store is necessary; 2. If the electronic parking brake cannot be released, rendering the vehicle immobile—a relatively rare scenario—call for roadside assistance; 3. If the malfunction occurs after replacing the rear brake pads, it is advisable to visit a repair shop or 4S store for a recalibration of the electronic braking system. For other faults, inspect the circuit at the fuse or electronic parking brake switch. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking brake functionality through electronic control, operating on the same principle as mechanical handbrakes by utilizing friction between the brake disc and pads to control parking braking, with the only difference being the shift from a lever-operated handbrake to an electronic button control.
