Electric parking brake malfunctions

[oovvutt]

Just wanted to leave this here:
If you get a “brake fault service now light” on the dash, or your ebrake is acting up; not engaging or disengaging, it’s either going to be problems with the brake motors on the rear callipers, or the wiring that goes from the motor to the main harness. You can use forscan or any other program to get codes, most likely it will be c1034, c2007 (right motor failure) c2008 (left motor failure). If you are in a pinch and the brake does not disengage, you can remove the motors (2 Allen bolts per side) and then use either a star or allen to turn the the brake bolt clockwise to disengage the ebrake manually. Hope this helps someone in the future. Cheers!
