The electronic handbrake is also known as the electronic parking brake system. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both of which control the parking brake by the friction between the brake disc and the brake pads, replacing the mechanical handbrake lever with an electronic button control. Many car owners have reported the problem of the electronic handbrake being pressed and unable to be released, and want to know the solution to the electronic handbrake jamming.
If the car owner encounters the situation where the electronic handbrake is pressed and cannot be released, there is no need to panic too much. Unlike the mechanical handbrake that may be forgotten to be released when driving, the electronic handbrake can generally be automatically released. The car owner just needs to try to fasten the seat belt in the car, start the car, put it in D gear, and gently step on the accelerator, and the electronic handbrake will automatically release.
Currently, due to the convenience of the electronic handbrake, many models have replaced the traditional mechanical handbrake with the electronic handbrake. In addition to automatically releasing when driving, it can also automatically activate after the driver stops the car, turns off the engine, and releases the seat belt.
If the car owner still cannot release the electronic handbrake jamming status after trying the above method, it means that there is a fault in the electronic handbrake system. They need to call a tow truck to transport the car to a repair shop, read the fault code of the vehicle parking brake system through a computer, and then specifically judge and analyze the fault point based on the fault code. Or, they can ask a repairman to come and unplug the backup cable of the electronic handbrake, and then go to the repair shop for inspection and repair.
