What Causes the Volvo Electronic Parking Brake to Be Unavailable?
1 Answers
Volvo electronic parking brake may be unavailable due to worn brake pads, overheating brake pad alarm, or issues with the electronic module. Brake Wear: Severe wear of the brake pads can cause the expansion shaft to reach its maximum limit and become stuck, unable to reset. This is common in older vehicles and requires replacing the brake pads. Brake Pad Overheating: Forgetting to release the parking brake before starting the car is a common mistake among beginners. The most direct consequences are accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to overheating, as well as elongation of the parking brake cable. This leads to reduced braking performance. Electronic Module Damage: It could also be due to damage to the electronic module. In such cases, the electronic module needs to be replaced, and it is advisable to visit a 4S shop for professional repair.
