What does it mean when the P light is on in the car?
1 Answers
The P light on the dashboard refers to the parking brake indicator light. Here is some relevant information: 1. There are generally two situations when this light is on: one is that the parking brake is not fully released; the other is a warning of a brake system failure. It is recommended to check if there is any issue with the parking brake, see if the brake fluid is low, whether the parking brake is completely released, and if the parking brake cable connection is normal. 2. The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. 3. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical parking brake, both of which use the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to achieve parking braking control.
