Another EPB problem, but slightly different |
|
Hi
bought car but found handbrake shoes were lying loose inside disc, replaced both sides but now now red light just flashes. i can hear the modulator working, no screaching ,sounds like it is operating and is trying to tighten up cables but they are too long. showing fault on dash display, pulling up the switch 4 times does not reset it pushing down puts on yellow light. worked fine once when shoes were done, then red light constantly flashes.
Any help greatly appreciated

was it from a dealer? if so take it straight back, otherwise a trip to disco_mikey at Strathearn may be in order! Other option would be to check Bodsy's brake bible, just to check that you have done everything right, it is linked from his signature block, just find a post by him. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Was the handbrake module working previously, before replacing the shoes? Even if it was screeching
Could be something simple like a faulty switch. Have you had the fault codes read yet? My D3 Build Thread

got fault codes read on launch x431, only showed up motor power supply.this then cleared.red light was steady when we collected car. we replaced back brakes , but could not get it to work. then ran it at 10mph and pulled on handbrake and it stopped car. after this it started flashing and cant get it to operate now. when you pull lever up you can here the module working but it does not seem to be tightening the cables, could this be stuck in mounting mode?
