Just an update on this... Got a used epb sitting waiting to be put on BUT... After staring at my reader for too long some things popped out. Checking live data my steering angle was 3oo n odd degrees while driving in a straight line ! My yaw rate jumps from -20 to +30 while parked and my lateral...

I may take it off tomorrow for a little looks myself lol It won't be hard to get off as its only been on for less than 200 mile !

Will give them a check tomorrow. I would have to get one with a weird fault, couldn't have been a broken wire or stripped cogs in the motor lol

The red brake light is flashing as soon as I stick key in but strangley I get prompt from cluster to " apply handbrake " the yellow brake light is also on but I can clear that with reader. Red light won't clear.

I haven't checked can bus wires. It is also hard wired from what I have found which should over ride can bus if its not working.

I can see the switch on my reader when pulled saying on, idle, off so seems to be working OK.

Yep....all feeds going into the box check out. Lives and earths.

I think it is goosed. Doesn't seem to be anything coming out of it , communications or power ( checked the power cable to clutch sensor at the epb plug n nowt coming out. Its not communicating with other modules so pressure the circuit board is toast. It was a recon unit that has lasted 3...

I have had stuff from gentleman of salvage before. The repair bloke on ebay sticks some new cogs in motor that cost 20 quid n charges 125 quid for the job.....not sure he repairs anything else on them regarding circuit board or anything.

All the wiring checks out at module plug. From what I can see it is still latched but yes it is released, as in not applied. Don't know if emergency release was pulled as it was like this when I got it. Going to check voltage tomorrow when switch is pulled/pushed just to confirm whats going on...

Checked with mm and a headlight bulb for load. The force sensor is showing 61n with the brake off ( don't know if thats right or not )

The story....mmmmm Bought it after it had stood for months. It has had a recon epb unit fitted that initially worked ( application count on diagnostic says 3 times lol ) then the motor stood for months with a flat battery. New battery fitted n now yellow and red flashy light. Doesn't even try n...

After much wrestling n developing of swear words inserted where they had no place to be I am presented with this ! Anything glaringly obvious wrong with this picture ? Does nowt when I pull switch.

New here be gentle.....got my self a doo er upper d3. Bought with faults but its a thing with me lol. Anyhoo 1 of the faults is the epb ( not another one they all shout ) after lots of searching i think I have come to the conclusion it has never been registered / coded.....or whatever the damn...
