How to solve the problem that the electronic handbrake of Dongfeng 580 cannot be released?

It is recommended to first check whether there is still any sound of releasing the brake. If there is no sound, it may be caused by a fault in the electronic brake switch. If this is a temporary fault of the electronic handbrake, turn off the engine and close the car door, then use the electronic remote control to lock and unlock the car, and then lock and unlock it again, the fault code can be cleared.
When encountering an issue where the Dongfeng 580's electronic parking brake won't release, as an owner I would first check several basic aspects. This situation may stem from several causes, such as a malfunctioning or jammed parking brake motor preventing release; loose or corroded wiring harness connections affecting signal transmission; problems with the control module, possibly due to software bugs or hardware damage; or the battery voltage being too low, triggering the system's protection mechanism to prevent release. Personally, I would try restarting the vehicle, repeatedly pressing the brake pedal a few times to see if it unlocks, or refer to the emergency release procedure in the user manual. If the problem persists, it's necessary to visit a professional repair shop to diagnose specific error codes using specialized tools - never force the vehicle to move to avoid brake pad wear or potential accidents. During regular maintenance, pay attention to cleaning the wheel area to reduce dust accumulation that could cause jamming, thereby lowering the probability of similar issues occurring.
