I’m very grateful for finding this video. We just purchased a brand new Toyota with the same Parking break. We didn’t notice until 2 days later that it makes that kind of loud sound. We called Toyota and was so upset because we thought we got a defective vehicle. This video educated us that it’s normal. Thank you so much for making this video. ☺️

Hi Steven, thanks for the post! I recently have the message “ EPB shift interlock function activated” appears on the dashboard right after the engine started and then goes away with 16K miles on the car. I have the automatic EPB feature on always but had no this message before, wondering why I do see this message now. Any of your thoughts on this will be much appreciated!

If on level ground is the parking break necessary? Fear overuse of the parking break will burn out the motors constantly engaging/disengaging.

What about a 2022 Toyota Corolla L model I exploring and now I don’t know if I did something to the car

There is not a way to do that. You are better off to get a traffic cone and place it in front of the sensor or even something like a block of wood

Can it be used as an emergency brake if your hydraulic line ruptured if driving downhill at 60 mph? If so, will it lock up the rear wheels?
