Automatic parking failure preventing the car from starting is caused by the automatic parking button being stuck or the ABS pump being damaged. The following are detailed explanations: Automatic parking button stuck: The automatic parking button is stuck, preventing the automatic parking function from being released. Solution: Check for any foreign objects. If none are found, reset the electronic parking brake. Turn on the car key, press the foot brake, then press and hold the electronic parking brake down for 5 seconds, followed by pulling it up for 5 seconds. This will initialize and reset the electronic parking brake. ABS pump damage: Damage to the ABS pump prevents the car from starting. Solution: Replace the ABS pump with a new one.

Last time I encountered an automatic parking brake failure, the car just wouldn't start no matter what, which was extremely frustrating. Generally speaking, this issue might be related to the battery. The automatic parking system requires sufficient power, and if the battery is aged or drained, it can get stuck and fail to start. Alternatively, it could be a bug in the electronic control unit—like a failed software update causing signal conflicts, where the system mistakenly thinks the car is in parking mode and prevents the engine from starting normally. I've experienced this before. First, I tried checking if the wiring was loose, then restarted the system by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it. If that doesn’t fix it, it can disrupt daily commutes, so I suggest not delaying and heading to a professional shop for diagnosis immediately to avoid getting stranded on the road.

As someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, I believe that automatic parking malfunctions causing failure to start often stem from minor issues. For example, aging and corroded wiring harness connectors can cause short circuits or false signals, making the control system think the car hasn't been released from parking, thereby locking the starting function. Another common factor is errors in the key anti-theft system; improper matching can trigger the protection mechanism. When I encountered this issue, I used a multimeter to test the voltage myself and found the battery was fine—it might have been a software problem, and refreshing the program solved it. Regular maintenance should focus on cleaning connectors and avoiding parking in humid areas to reduce the occurrence of faults.

As a working professional who frequently uses my car, I'm most concerned about safety when encountering automatic parking failure that prevents ignition. Common causes include dirty or stuck system sensors, which send incorrect signals leading to vehicle misjudgment; or insufficient power supply with rapid battery drain affecting startup. I remember one morning when I was in a hurry to leave, my car wouldn't move at all - I was terrified of being late until the tow truck technician diagnosed it as a software conflict. My advice for similar situations: don't force it, check if warning lights are on, try simple resets like disconnecting the battery cables, and most importantly don't delay - seek professional repair assistance immediately.
