1 Answers
EPB stands for Electrical-Park-Brake in English, which is the electronic parking brake system. An EPB malfunction means there is a fault with the electronic handbrake. Here is some extended information: 1. Function of EPB: EPB controls the parking brake through electronic circuits, serving the same purpose as a mechanical lever handbrake. When starting the vehicle, there's no need to manually release the electronic handbrake; it will automatically disengage when you press the accelerator. 2. Causes of malfunction: An electronic handbrake malfunction could be due to faults in components such as wheel speed sensors, throttle position sensors, handbrake switches, wheel speed sensors, motors, etc. Any abnormality in these components could cause the EPB light to illuminate.
