Check for faults such as short circuits, open circuits, or poor connections at the switch. Wiring fault: If there is a wiring fault in the electronic parking system, it cannot work properly. Check the continuity of the wiring. EFB controller malfunction: If the controller malfunctions, it can cause functional disorders and fail to receive normal instructions.
