What to Do When the Volkswagen Electronic Parking Brake Fails?

[LeLaura]

Turn on the car key, step on the foot brake, then press down the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds and subsequently pull up the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds. After pulling the parking brake lever to the braking position and releasing it, inspect by first pressing and releasing the lever head, then gripping and releasing the lever handle. Perform up and down movement tests to check if the lever is bent, stuck, or if the spring is broken. If no issues are found, examine whether the sector teeth and gear teeth are worn. If no problems are detected, check if the dust shield is colliding with the brake drum due to deformation or improper fixation. Readjustment may be necessary.
