SM3 Electric Parking Brake Failure

The electronic parking brake on my 2018 Renault SM3 electric vehicle is completely inoperative at 173597 km. Diagnostic checks reveal an error and a warning light. I suspect a defective electric motor within the brake calliper.

I had a similar issue with my SM3. Is the system making any unusual noises when you try to engage or disengage the parking brake? Could be a simple system glitch, but also could be a more serious issue with the brake control module.

Thanks. There are no unusual noises. Did you encounter any temporary functionality before the complete failure, or any other symptoms preceding the error?

Nope, no warning signs at all, just stopped working. Best get it checked by a workshop before it becomes a vehicle safety problem. I ended up paying around 500€ for the repair, so prepare for that. Good luck!

I appreciate your insights. I will proceed with an inspection and repair at a qualified workshop, anticipating a cost in that region. Thanks!
