Fault causes of electrical parking brake and solutions

11-25,2024

EPB (electrical parking brake) is an important part of vehicle intelligent safety systems. It is composed of EBCM module, EPB switch, brake switch and other key components. Once any one of the components fails, it may lead to EPB failure, and the warning indicator will light up, indicating a threat to driving safety.

Fault analysis of electrical parking brake

Common fault causes of EPB (electrical parking brake) include the blockage of park switch by foreign matters or water spots that can result in impeded signal transmission, poor line contact that affects signal transmission, damage to EPB brake motor or servo mechanism, and the fault of the parking module.

The core working principle of EPB is to simulate the braking of mechanical hand brake through electronic circuit, so as to ensure that no manual operation is required when the vehicle is parked.

Fault elimination of EPB

When a fault indication occurs, the procedure to disarm the EPB fault indicator is relatively simple: depressing the brake pedal and pressing the hand brake button for half a minute, then releasing the hand brake, which helps to reset the system. However, it is important to known that fault indicator going out does not mean that the problem has been resolved, and it is best to have further troubleshooting by professionals using diagnostic equipment after resolution to ensure that the problem is completely resolved.

Interpretation of EPB warning indicator

The indicators on the instrument panel are divided into three colors: red, yellow and green. Red indicator represents serious fault, and the vehicle must be stopped immediately for inspection; Yellow indicator indicates that there is a fault but does not endanger the driving, so it should be repaired as soon as possible; Green indicator indicates normal function. In the event of a fault, follow the instructions and professional recommendations to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
