Electronic parking brake malfunction may be caused by damage to the parking brake button, failure of the parking brake controller, or issues with the rear brake caliper. Solutions: Replace the parking brake button and repair the parking brake controller. It is recommended to seek assistance from a professional mechanic for these repairs. Precautions for Electronic Parking Brake: In most vehicle models, the electronic parking brake automatically engages when the engine is turned off, the vehicle is parked, and the seatbelt is unfastened. Therefore, there is no need for manual intervention after parking. Similarly, when starting the vehicle, the electronic parking brake will disengage upon slightly pressing the accelerator pedal after fastening the seatbelt and ensuring everything is normal. This feature helps prevent severe brake system wear caused by drivers forgetting to release the parking brake when starting the vehicle.

When I was driving my Exeed car, I encountered an electronic parking brake failure, which really gave me a cold sweat—the brake button was pressed, but the car just wouldn't lock. Later, when I took it to the repair shop for inspection, the mechanic said it was a sensor issue, possibly due to prolonged exposure to rain or dust corroding the wiring connectors. The electronic parking brake relies on a precise position sensor to detect the handle's position. If the sensor is worn or has poor contact, the signal cannot be transmitted to the control module, causing the system to malfunction. There are other possible causes, such as aging or broken cables, or system software bugs, especially in cold weather. I remember it cost me over 400 yuan to fix that time, but during the process, there was almost a rollaway accident. I recommend that car owners not ignore warning lights and send their vehicles to professional shops for timely inspection and repair. Never try to open and fix it yourself, as you might damage other electronic components. During regular maintenance, always check for any accumulated water or debris around the parking brake.

As someone who frequently tinkers with my car, I've found that electronic parking brake failures often boil down to several major factors: First, wiring issues, where loose or worn connectors cause short circuits or breaks; second, sensor failure, where the sensitivity of the position detection device declines; third, control module overheating and burning out, especially after driving in high summer temperatures; fourth, poor software compatibility, where system updates fail and bugs appear. I once dealt with a similar fault—first, I used a multimeter to check the fuses and circuit current, and a simple inspection was enough to locate the root cause. The core of the electronic parking brake lies in the coordinated operation of sensors, actuators, and the ECU module—any malfunction in one of these components can cause a shutdown. For routine maintenance, it's advisable to check whether the wiring harness connections are secure and to prevent dust buildup. If faults occur frequently, reset the system or replace the module. In short, if you're skilled, diagnose the issue yourself using the manual; if not, head to the dealership—safety first.

After driving for so many years, electronic parking brake failures can be quite nerve-wracking. Common causes include sensor corrosion or cable aging. For sophisticated systems like those in the Exeed, even a little rainwater seepage can cause short circuits and malfunctions. I remember one time when parking in the garage, the parking brake didn't engage and the car nearly slid into the wall. After a failure, it's crucial to send the car for repairs promptly to avoid danger. Regular environmental cleanliness and scheduled maintenance are also important.

Encountered Xingtu electronic parking brake not responding? Possible causes include sensor failure—incorrect position or signal error; circuit short—damaged cables or moisture-induced; control unit bug—issues from system updates. First, try restarting the vehicle. If the problem persists, promptly visit a professional shop for inspection to avoid the risk of vehicle slippage. Regularly check connectors to prevent loosening.
