What does displaying EPB mean
1 Answers
EPB in cars refers to the Electronic Parking Brake system, commonly known as the electronic handbrake. If the EPB light is displayed on your vehicle, it likely indicates a malfunction in the electronic handbrake. Since electronic handbrake failures can stem from multiple components such as wheel speed sensors, throttle position sensors, handbrake switches, or the motor itself, any abnormality in these parts may trigger the EPB warning light. Therefore, it is recommended that owners have their vehicles inspected by a professional repair shop. Diagnostic tools can quickly and accurately pinpoint the source of the fault. The Electronic Parking Brake system integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term parking braking functions, all controlled electronically to achieve parking brake technology. This system ensures stable parking on slopes up to 30%. Additionally, it features automatic thermal compensation: after forceful braking and parking, the rear brake discs may develop gaps with the friction pads due to cooling. The motor then automatically activates to tighten the pressure nut, compensating for the gap caused by temperature changes and ensuring reliable parking performance.
