What is the method for manually resetting the H9 electronic parking brake?
3 Answers
H9 electronic parking brake cannot be manually reset; after replacing the brake pads, it must be reset using a computer. How to use the electronic parking brake: 1. First press the engine start-stop switch to power the vehicle, otherwise the electronic brake button cannot be operated. 2. Before engaging the electronic parking brake, step on the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward due to uneven parking position after releasing the parking brake. 3. Then pull up the electronic parking brake button to release the parking brake. Engaging the parking brake also requires pulling up the parking brake button. When the light turns red, it indicates that the parking brake is engaged. Here is some information about the electronic parking brake: 1. The electronic parking brake is also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system. The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) integrates temporary braking during driving and long-term braking after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control technology. 2. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical parking brake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical parking brake lever to an electronic button.
Don't panic if the Haval H9's electronic parking brake gets stuck—here's a manual release hack. First, make sure the car is completely powered off, the engine is stopped, and it's in neutral. Then, crouch near the rear seats and forcefully lift the carpet mat. Under the center console, you'll spot a small square hole with a cover. Pry open the cover to reveal a metal pull ring. Yank the ring firmly toward the front of the car until you hear a click, indicating the brake pads have released. Apply steady force but avoid using excessive strength to prevent damage. After resetting, immediately drive to a repair shop to check for error codes—it's likely due to damp wiring or a faulty sensor. Don't delay repairs, or it might fail again. Ignoring this could lead to dangerous sudden lock-ups while driving.
Handling the electronic parking brake reset requires a procedural mindset. The key is locating the emergency release mechanism, which in the Haval H9 is typically hidden under the access panel beneath the rear seat floor. Before operation, always disconnect the vehicle's power supply to prevent accidental activation. After pulling out the metal release lever, maintain a vertical position and slowly pull outward – you should distinctly feel the ratchet mechanism gradually releasing. When fully extended, hold for 3 seconds before pushing back to ensure complete disengagement of brake pads from the friction surface. Post-reset, the dashboard yellow warning light will remain illuminated as part of normal protection protocol – full resolution requires connecting a diagnostic tool to clear fault codes. As a side note, vehicles frequently driven on muddy roads should prioritize inspection of the parking brake motor's dust cover seal integrity.
