What are the causes of electronic parking brake system failure?
1 Answers
There are three main reasons for electronic parking brake system failure in vehicles: Brake fluid leakage. In this case, it is generally necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store to check and repair the brake fluid leakage location. After replenishing the brake fluid, the electronic parking brake will return to normal, the fault light will go off, and the system will fully recover. Brake pads thinning. Brake pads are consumables, and prolonged use will affect braking performance. It can also cause the brake fluid level to drop. When the level drops to the connection point of the brake fluid level sensor, the electronic parking brake light will illuminate. If the fluid level drops to a point where it is barely making or breaking contact, the electronic parking brake fault light may flicker on and off as the vehicle moves, indicating an error. Insufficient brake fluid. This issue is relatively rare. It is necessary to check the brake fluid level by opening the engine hood and inspecting the brake fluid reservoir. The level can be easily seen with the marked scale. If the brake fluid is too low, it will accelerate the wear of the brake pads, so it is essential to check whether the brake pads have worn to their limit. If necessary, they can be replaced together.
