What is the method to resolve the electronic parking brake malfunction in the x80?
2 Answers
x80 electronic parking brake malfunction resolution method is: 1. Reset the electronic parking brake by turning on the car key, then stepping on the foot brake, holding down the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds, and then pulling up the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds to initialize and reset the electronic handbrake; 2. The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, is usually located at the right-hand side of the driver for easy access; 3. The function of the parking brake is to stabilize the vehicle after it has stopped, preventing accidents caused by rolling on slopes; 4. Some automatic transmission models on the market feature a foot brake with the same function as the handbrake, located outside the driver's left foot, and some advanced models are also equipped with an electronic parking brake system.
Last time my car's electronic parking brake had issues, here's how I dealt with it: First, turn off the engine and wait for five minutes before restarting—sometimes the computer just needs a reboot to sort itself out. Next, check if the foot brake is fully depressed, then try holding down the electronic parking brake button for ten seconds to see if it resets. If there's no response, pop the hood and check if the battery terminals are loose or if the voltage is sufficient. If that still doesn't work, disconnect the negative battery terminal for three minutes and then reconnect it. If none of these steps help, chances are the brake motor or sensor has failed, and you should head to the repair shop to read the fault codes with their diagnostic tool. Messing around too much on your own might damage the ABS system. Just remember, never test these fixes on a slope—always engage the mechanical handbrake first for safety.
