Safrane electronic parking brake failure
Summary of the thread
The 2000 Renault Safrane's electronic parking brake failure is likely due to a malfunctioning electric motor in the brake caliper, as indicated by the error message and warning light. This issue can occur without prior warning signs or unusual noises. A qualified technician should perform a thorough assessment, and replacing the faulty motor typically resolves the problem, as confirmed by a successful repair.

No, I didn't notice any weird noises before it went completely. It just stopped working one day. Was yours the same?

My experience is the same. It failed without any prior warning signs or unusual sounds. I would recommend seeing a qualified technician for a thorough assessment. Sounds like brake diagnostics are needed.

Thanks, I appreciate the confirmation. Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on – electric motor in the calliper. New motor fitted, error cleared, and all working fine now!

I own a Safrane too. I experienced a similar issue some time ago. It happened the same way, with the electronic parking brake failing and the warning lights coming on. Did you notice any unusual noises before it failed?
