Why is the Electronic Parking Brake Light Always On?
1 Answers
The reasons for the parking brake light staying on include the parking brake not being fully released and insufficient brake fluid. Specific explanations are as follows: Parking brake not fully released: The parking brake is not truly in the released position; Insufficient brake fluid: Lack of brake fluid, with the brake fluid level below the safety line; Brake pulling: If the parking brake light is on accompanied by the vehicle pulling to one side during braking, it is caused by uneven wear of the brake pads or uneven force distribution by the brake calipers. This situation requires immediate repair, as it can compromise driving safety. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, functions by providing resistance to prevent the vehicle from rolling when parked, effectively locking the drive shaft or rear wheels.
