How to Reset an Electronic Parking Brake System Failure?
2 Answers
Turn on the car key, then press the foot brake, hold down the electronic parking brake for 5 seconds, and then pull up the electronic parking brake for 5 seconds to complete the initialization reset. It can be used to stabilize the vehicle after it comes to a complete stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on sloped roads.
I once encountered an electronic parking brake system failure. The car was parked on a slope, and the button didn't respond, which really scared me. Later, I found out it was due to low battery voltage causing the system to malfunction. I first tried pressing the brake pedal several times and restarting the car to see if any warning lights appeared on the dashboard. If that didn't work, I checked the fuse box for the parking system's corresponding fuse and replaced it if it was blown. If all else fails, don't force it—call a tow truck and take it to a professional repair shop. Regular battery maintenance is essential to avoid power-related failures. Also, outdated system software can cause issues, so remember to update it. Never forcefully use the handbrake in emergencies while driving—safety first. To prevent such incidents, it's recommended to check the electrical system every six months to save long-term hassle.
