RCZ electronic parking brake failure

Alright, Peugeot RCZ owners, gather 'round! My electronic parking brake has gone kaput at 228582 km. Error light's on, error code's stored, and the brake itself? Completely useless. Is this really the electric motor in the caliper, or am I missing something obvious? It's a 2013 gasoline engine.

Sounds familiar. Had a similar brake fault with my old Volvo. Though, mine was a system glitch. But with those symptoms, could be the motor, yeah. Did you do brake diagnostics already?

Diagnostics were run, confirmed the error, but is it really the calliper motor at fault? Or could it be, I don't know, a fuse? A relay?

Could be a fuse, but I doubt it. When the electric motor is the issue, the symptoms are exactly what you described. I suggest you go to a workshop. If it is the motor, then it will be expensive.

Turns out, it was indeed the calliper motor. 505€ later, and the parking brake is working again. Thanks for the confirmation and for making me brace myself, I appreciate it!
