Is the Electronic Parking Brake Light On or Off When Activated?
1 Answers
Electronic parking brake light being on indicates that it is activated. Below are detailed explanations about the electronic parking brake: 1. Working Principle: The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Automotive Application: Currently, there are two main forms of electronic parking brake technology applied in automobiles. One is the cable-type electronic parking brake system, and the other is the caliper-integrated electronic parking brake system. Since the cable-type electronic parking brake system retains the cable of the traditional mechanical parking brake system, it is only an early transitional product and is less commonly used in automobiles. Currently, the most widely used in automobiles is the caliper-integrated electronic parking brake system.
