Seat Tarraco problems with the electric handbrake

Electical handbrake is not working

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my 2019 Seat Tarraco Diesel. The electric handbrake no longer works. Could "malfunction of the electric handbrake" be the reason? Has anyone had similar experiences? How was the problem solved in the workshop? Looking forward to your tips and experiences!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2018 Seat Ateca, so same brand, just a bit older. I only have some experience with cars, but maybe it will help you. In my case, it was because the control unit was faulty. I then went to the garage and they replaced it for 1000.00 euros. After that, everything worked perfectly again. Can you describe in more detail what your car is displaying or what error codes may be appearing? Then I might be able to give you more information. Regards

Hey, thanks for the info! The message "Malfunction of the electric handbrake" is shown on my display. The mileage is now 198765 and I haven't had the fault codes read out yet. I'll do that next and then report it here. Greetings

Hey, all right, thanks for the additional info. Yes, the "electric handbrake malfunction" message sounds pretty similar to the problem I had back then. It could actually be the control unit. I would definitely recommend that you have the error codes read out as soon as possible so that you get a clear indication of the problem. In my case, the control unit simply stopped working properly in general, which resulted in the electric handbrake either not reacting at all or reacting incorrectly. The garage was able to fix the problem by replacing the control unit, and since then everything has been running smoothly again. But it could also be that other things are playing a role in your case, such as defective sensors or problems with the brake pads. That's why the error codes are really important. Keep us up to date on what the codes say. Maybe we can then help you more precisely! Regards

Hey, all right, thanks for the tip. Yes, I will have the error codes read out as soon as possible. Hopefully it's "just" the control unit, even if it will of course be expensive. But it's good to know that it worked for you again afterwards. I'll get back to you as soon as I have the information and hopefully I'll be able to say more. Until then, thanks and I'll keep you up to date! Regards
