Will the Electronic Parking Brake Light Stay On?
1 Answers
Electronic parking brake light does not stay on. It only lights up when the brake is engaged and turns off when released. Additional Information: There are generally two reasons why the parking brake light stays on, as detailed below: 1. Parking Brake Light Switch: This switch is responsible for turning the parking brake indicator light off when the brake is released and on when engaged. If you disassemble the parking brake assembly, you will find a white switch—this is the parking brake light switch. Essentially, it functions as a grounding wire: it grounds when the brake is engaged and disconnects when released. If the switch is faulty or the wiring is damaged, the parking brake light may stay on. 2. Issues with Brake Fluid: This can be divided into three scenarios: 1) Insufficient or no brake fluid: In this case, the parking brake light will stay on. If the vehicle's brake fluid is within the standard range, this issue can be ruled out. 2) Faulty sensor in the brake fluid reservoir: This sensor monitors the condition of the brake fluid and alerts the driver via the brake indicator light if any issues are detected. 3) Problem with the brake fluid sensor connector: If this connector short-circuits, the brake indicator light will also stay on.
