Patrol Electronic Parking Brake Failure

I'm having a nightmare with my 2005 Nissan Patrol diesel. The electronic parking brake has completely given up. The handbrake isn't working, and I've got an error light glaring at me. The OBD reader is throwing up a parking brake error. Anyone else had this?

Sounds familiar! I've got a Patrol too. Had a similar issue a while back - electronic handbrake went kaput and lit up the dash. Did the error code point to anything specific?

Yeah, the code suggested something about the brake calliper motor being dodgy. Did yours say the same thing? Was it a big job to sort out?

Yup, that's exactly what mine was! The garage said the electric motor in the calliper had packed it in. To be honest, I just took it straight to the workshop. Paid around 500€ for the fix, I think. Worth getting it checked out properly - brakes are kinda important!

Cheers for the heads up! Sounds like I’m heading to the workshop then. At least I have some idea what to expect price-wise. Will post what happens once it's sorted. Thanks again!
