What should I do if the brakes of the electronic handbrake fail
The failure of the electronic handbrake may result from a malfunction in the vehicle's braking system. The coping strategies are as follows:
When brake failure occurs while driving, the first step is to reduce the vehicle speed, switch from automatic transmission to manual transmission mode for downshifting, and use the traction force of the engine to assist the car in decelerating. When the vehicle speed gradually decreases, try to gently pull the electronic handbrake, but make sure to operate only when the speed drops to a safe range to avoid the risk of the brake disc seizing up.
If the vehicle speed is high and normal braking is impossible, it is advisable to consider using external force to assist in stopping. Rubbing the bumper against roadside obstacles is an emergency measure, but it will cause certain vehicle damage.
When brake failure occurs while going downhill, friction can also be utilized to slow down the speed. Look for suitable obstacles or come into contact with them through one side of the vehicle body, gradually reduce the vehicle speed, and ensure operational safety at the same time. Please ensure that preventive measures are taken when dealing with such issues to guarantee driving safety.
Malfunctions in automotive electronic systems may stem from various factors. The following summarizes eight common problem points:
Improper car washing: The surface of the engine is prone to accumulate dust and water stains. If water accidentally enters the engine or electronic components during the cleaning process, it may cause a short circuit. At this time, the vehicle should be sent to a professional 4S store for inspection and repair.
Neglect of maintenance: Electronic systems are composed of sensors, control units, actuators and wires. Lack of maintenance may lead to signal distortion and affect driving performance. Regular maintenance is the key to preventing such problems.
Private modification: Additional electrical appliances installed by non-professionals may cause confusion in the wiring, increase the load and trigger short circuits. The solution is to remove the additional equipment and send it for repair and inspection.
Improper maintenance: Automotive electronic technology is complex. Unprofessional maintenance may introduce errors and cause damage to the control unit. Be sure to find a professional to reconnect the problem line.
Electronic handbrake malfunction: As a part of the vehicle's braking system, a problem with the electronic handbrake can also affect the entire electronic system and requires specialized repair.
Brake wear: The wear of brake pads can affect the performance of the electronic braking system. Replacing worn brake pads is a necessary measure.
Problems with the system itself: If the electronic system malfunctions, it may be necessary to have it diagnosed and repaired at a professional 4S store.
Battery power supply issue: Insufficient battery power or unstable power supply may cause the electronic system to fail to work properly. The solution is to charge the battery or inspect and maintain it.
Please note that for any malfunction of the electronic system, it needs to be handled by professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
