Peugeot 208 Electronic Parking Brake Failure

Hi, I have a 2018 Peugeot 208 diesel, and the electronic parking brake has stopped working. The error is stored in the memory, and the warning light is on. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Sounds like a pain! I've heard the electric motors in the brake calipers can be dodgy on those. Have you tried checking the brake switch?

No, I haven't checked the brake switch. Where exactly is it located, and how would I test it?

Honestly, messing with brakes is risky. Given the error code and warning light, plus the electronic handbrake issue, I'd strongly suggest getting it to a workshop. Sounds like the motor, and that's not something you want to get wrong!

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right - the electric motor in the brake caliper was defective. The repair cost 505€ Appreciate the help!
