What Causes the Parking Brake Failure Preventing Engine Start?
1 Answers
The reason why the parking brake failure prevents the engine from starting is: the brake light switch has malfunctioned, causing the ECU to fail to receive the normal startup power signal. The parking brake is a device used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by the vehicle rolling away when parked on a slope. The operation method of the parking brake depends on the transmission type: 1. Manual transmission: To engage the parking brake, press the brake pedal downward and pull the parking brake lever upward. To start the vehicle, press the brake pedal downward, slightly pull the parking brake lever upward, press the button at the front end of the handle, and then push the parking brake lever all the way down. 2. Automatic transmission: After applying the parking brake, move the gear lever to the P position. When preparing to start, shift the gear lever to the drive position before releasing the parking brake.
