Do you need an electronic parking brake on an auto transmission car?

How can I deactivate the parking brake on my Popstar?
In settings on the stereo you can deactivate the parking brake. I then unhooked my battery to do a computer reset and it worked.

What’s the problem with the electronic parking brake?
This model has the electronic parking brake. There is a switch inside the car that is supposed to engage and disengage the parking brake. The problem is that the parking brake will engage but not disengage. So right now the left rear tire is locked up. Both the switch and the left rear caliper have been replaced and that did not solve the issue.
Why is the parking brake warning not working?

What to do about the electronic brake warning?
Try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 45 minutes and reconnect. This seems to fix general sensor issues. If it persists, take it to the dealer. Hope you get it solved! Purchased my Trailhawk and started having a problem in the first day. When I am driving, the electronic brake warning comes up and the red brake light flashes.
