I always wondered.....how are the repo guys able to tow modern cars? My parking brake turns on before I shut the engine off (so it's on pretty always)....a tow truck would have to disable that before towing right? Help me with this, please

I want to add one more thing. My Nissan once shut down while I was driving. The engine stopped, the vehicle kept rolling. The steering wheel locked, so I couldn’t steer it to the right to get off the road. I was also surprised that the brake pedal stop working—I wasn’t able to stop the vehicle with the regular brakes. The only thing that helped was the handbrake. newer vehicles now use electronic parking brakes, which may not be as practical in an emergency like this.

you can literally disengage the parking brake with a 12 volt battery and 2 wires

But you can disengage the EPB. I think you have to push on thr foot brake and hold down on the EPB switch for a few seconds.

man of Pootis :
makes sense, the most stolen cars are kias and whatnot so they're kinda secure just out of not being a target

Electronic parking brakes can be released for towing, there is usually an emergency release breakdowns

They have it in Europe btw bc its law. Im gonna delete my cars steering lock tho bc it can brick the whole car if it fails. and it also has electronic parking brake and electronic immobilizer. if those dont stop a thief its not worth trying.

steering lock was a waste of materials on modern cars. if they want your car that bad, they can put the wheels on casters. they can do the same to override the EPB. 🤷🏻♂️as a tech, if I have the car in the air, I often need to turn the wheels. having to KOEO to unlock it just drains the battery
