The solution to the electronic parking brake malfunction displayed on the Boyue is: 1. Start the car and power it on, then press the foot brake; 2. Press and hold the electronic handbrake downward for 5 seconds, then pull it upward for 5 seconds, and the electronic parking brake issue will be resolved. The electronic parking brake refers to the technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, which automatically applies the parking brake after the engine is turned off. Taking the Boyue 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4519mm, width 1831mm, height 1694mm, wheelbase 2670mm, fuel tank capacity 58l, curb weight 1575kg, and the body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.
My car has had this issue before, and the electronic parking brake warning light coming on can be nerve-wracking. Don't panic right away—first try turning off the engine, waiting a few seconds, and then restarting to see if the fault code disappears. Sometimes it's just a system glitch or a minor software hiccup. If the light stays on, check your vehicle manual to locate the electronic parking brake fuse—usually found in the fuse box—carefully pull it out to see if it's blown, and replace it with a new one if necessary. If the fuse is fine, the manual should also include an emergency manual release tutorial—follow the steps carefully. If you still can't resolve it, don't take risks—drive straight to a reliable repair shop or call for a tow. When washing your car, avoid letting water enter the brake system, as keeping it dry can help prevent similar issues.
When encountering an electronic parking brake fault in the Bo Yue, I recommend first using a simple scanner to check the fault codes to determine if it's due to dirty sensors or loose wiring. If you're checking for loose wire connections yourself and lack tools, try gently tapping the module area to restore contact. If the scan shows codes starting with 'C,' it's often a software issue requiring a reset, or mechanical jamming needing cleaning. If the problem recurs frequently, it might indicate module damage—replacement is usually inexpensive, typically costing a few hundred yuan. For safety, avoid handling the issue on slopes; ensure the vehicle is securely parked before proceeding. Regularly avoid parking in waterlogged areas to prevent rust and maintain sensitivity.
