What Causes the Brake Pedal to Not Depress and the Engine to Not Start with One-Button Start?

Possible reasons: The car is out of fuel, the battery is faulty, or the spark plug is malfunctioning. Below are the relevant details: 1. Battery: A battery is a type of cell, also known as an accumulator, which works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery commonly referred to is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Spark Plug: The spark plug is a crucial component of the gasoline engine's ignition system. It introduces high voltage into the combustion chamber, causing a spark to jump across the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. It mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell.
I once drove a car with a push-button start and encountered a situation where the brake pedal couldn't be pressed down and the car wouldn't start, which took me quite a while to figure out. This issue is usually caused by insufficient brake vacuum boost, which requires the engine to be running to generate vacuum. If the vacuum is lost after the car is turned off, the brake pedal will become stiff. Another possibility is a dead or weak battery, which prevents the push-button start system from having enough power to activate the brake sensor. Alternatively, there might be a mechanical blockage in the brake system, such as a stuck brake pump or a brake fluid leak, requiring a check of the fluid level. Failure to start could also be due to the gear not being in the park position or a malfunctioning push-button start button. My suggestion is to first try push-starting the car to restore the vacuum boost. If that doesn't work, check if the battery terminals are loose. In severe cases, seek help from a repair shop immediately.
