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.

How often should spark plugs be replaced?

The replacement interval for spark plugs: Under normal maintenance conditions, they should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine. It is recommended to follow the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Damaged spark plugs can cause the following effects: If the spark plugs are damaged, they can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, affecting the normal use of the vehicle. Severe erosion of the spark plugs, such as scarring at the top, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes, indicates that the spark plugs are damaged and should be replaced. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage wires according to the ignition sequence and secure the cover.
