Defective electric handbrake on 2015 Toyota Avalon: experience and solutions wanted

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Toyota Avalon year 2015 gasoline engine, driven already 212326 KM. The electric handbrake doesn't work anymore and I think it might be a malfunction of the electric handbrake. Has anyone had experience or similar problems with this? How was your experience at the mechanic? I didn't have such a great experience last time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A similar problem was resolved for another Toyota owner by replacing a defective control unit, which restored the braking system's functionality.

Hello, I understand your difficulties. I recently had a problem with the electronic brake on my 2018 Toyota Corolla. Something similar happened to me. During a fault diagnosis, it was finally determined that the control unit was defective. It was certainly a serious problem as it affected the entire braking system. After the control unit was replaced, everything worked perfectly again. Sometimes it can be really annoying, but the important thing is that it could be solved. Hope this helps you. Greetings!

Hello, thank you for your reply! Good to hear that the problem with your Toyota has been resolved. Do you happen to remember how much it cost you to replace the control unit? And has anything else caused problems with the brakes since then? Thank you for your help!

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! So, I paid €1000 for the repair of the control unit. It wasn't exactly a bargain, but things have been running smoothly ever since. And as for the electric handbrake - since the mechanic's visit, the malfunction has been rectified, so there have been no further problems. It's annoying when such a small thing involves so much effort, but the important thing is that it's now working again. Hope this helps you!

Hi, wow, a groundbreaking 1000 euros, but probably better now than stranded on the road later. I'm glad to hear that there have been no problems with the handbrake since. Your information is really helpful. I will go to the mechanic tomorrow morning and hopefully it will be fixed quickly and efficiently. Thanks for the advice and support!
