C30 electronic parking brake failure

My 2006 Volvo C30 diesel has an electronic parking brake that's completely stopped working at 216309 km. The error memory has a fault stored, and the warning light is on. I suspect the electric motor in the brake caliper. Has anyone else experienced this?

That sucks! I had a similar issue with my Renault Megane a while back. The symptoms sound pretty familiar. Did you check the brake sensor?

Thanks! Which brake sensor are you referring to, and where is it located? Is it easy to check myself?

I honestly don't know exactly which one it was, sorry. I'm not that technically gifted. But the symptoms were very similar to yours. I ended up taking it to a workshop, and they sorted it. Probably best to get it checked out properly!

Okay, I appreciate the input! I've booked it in for a diagnostic check at a local garage. They've quoted around 505€ for the repair, which seems reasonable considering the electric motor is likely defective.
