Electronic Parking Brake

An electronic parking brake replaces the traditional lever or pedal with a simple button and electric motors that hold your car in place. When it malfunctions, you may see a warning light or find the brake won't engage or release. We diagnose the motors, switch, and wiring, then repair or recalibrate the system so it works at the touch of a button.

Frequently asked questions

My electronic parking brake light is on. What does it mean?

A warning light usually points to a fault in the actuator motor, switch, or wiring, or sometimes simply low battery voltage. We connect a scan tool to read the trouble codes and pinpoint the exact cause before repairing it.

Do you need special tools to service an electronic parking brake?

Yes. The system has to be put into service mode with a diagnostic scan tool before any brake work, and recalibrated afterward. We have the right equipment to do this safely so the brake works correctly when we're done.
