What is the solution for electronic parking brake lock-up?

Solution for electronic parking brake lock-up: You can turn off the engine, release the parking brake, kick the locked rear wheel a few times with your foot, and then manually rock the vehicle back and forth. Remember to rock it back and forth according to the vehicle's natural oscillation period. This will gradually increase the amplitude of the vehicle's oscillation and help free the locked rear wheel. The ABS system enhances driving safety and improves the safety factor during emergency braking. When a vehicle brakes suddenly, wheel lock-up can easily occur. Once locked, the friction between the wheel and the ground decreases. If the front wheels lock up, the vehicle's steering becomes uncontrollable, while if the rear wheels lock up, skidding is highly likely. The function of ABS is to continuously adjust the brake caliper pressure to prevent wheel lock-up.
I've encountered the electronic parking brake locking up a few times, usually due to low battery voltage or sensor errors. For solutions, first check if the battery cables and connections are loose, try restarting the engine, and repeatedly press the parking brake button to attempt release. If that doesn't work, most cars have a manual release device near the spare tire in the trunk - just use a small hook to pull and unlock it. I managed to fix it myself last time in a parking lot. For prevention, avoid parking on slopes for extended periods and keep the system updated to reduce faults. Aging electronic components can also cause this, so regular maintenance saves trouble. Safety is paramount - never force the car to move. If you can't handle it, contact a professional repair shop or tow truck immediately.
