What Causes the Electronic Parking Brake to Fail to Engage?
1 Answers
Electronic parking brake may fail to engage due to not pressing the activation button or a malfunction in the system. Below is relevant information about automotive electronic parking brakes: 1. Principle: Electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as mechanical handbrakes, both relying on friction generated between brake discs and pads to control parking braking, except the control method has evolved from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Function: Electronic parking brakes have expanded from basic parking functions to include automatic hold functions (AUTOHOLD). The application of AUTOHOLD automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. When automatic electronic parking brake is activated, it prevents unnecessary vehicle slippage.
