What to Do When the Volkswagen Tiguan's Electronic Parking Brake Won't Release?
1 Answers
Reasons and solutions for the Volkswagen Tiguan's electronic parking brake not releasing are as follows: 1. Issues with the electronic parking brake system. Solution: First, use a diagnostic computer to check for error codes. If there are any, note them down. If there are none, disconnect the battery cables and let the system sit for about 5-10 minutes before reconnecting and testing again. If there's still no effect, the brake actuator might be faulty. 2. Parking immediately after washing the car in winter, causing the brake disc, brake pads, and calipers to freeze together. Solution: Pour boiling water over them to thaw. 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 handbrake, both relying on the friction between the brake disc and pads to control parking braking, except that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
