Skoda Scala Electronic Parking Brake Problem

I am experiencing an electronic parking brake malfunction with my 2019 Skoda Scala, diesel engine, with 207416 km. The electronic handbrake is non-functional, an error is stored in the error memory, and a warning light is illuminated in the speedometer. Based on initial brake diagnostics, the likely cause is a defective electric motor in the brake calliper. Any insights would be appreciated regarding this vehicle safety issue.

I had a similar electronic brake problem with my old Peugeot some time ago. The symptoms were identical: parking brake malfunction, error light, and a stored error code. Did you check the brake control module for any obvious signs of damage or corrosion before suspecting the calliper?

I appreciate the suggestion. I did a quick visual inspection, but did not see anything obvious. What kind of damage or corrosion should I specifically look for on the brake control module?

In my case, there was some minor water ingress, leading to corrosion on the connector pins. However, if you've already checked that, it's quite likely the calliper motor itself. Given the error code and mileage, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop for proper brake diagnostics. Replacing the calliper yourself can be tricky and might affect vehicle safety.

The brake diagnostics pointed to a defective electric motor in the brake calliper. The electronic brake unit was replaced, resolving the issue. The repair cost 505€. Vehicle safety is restored.
