Hi

This Jaguar came to me with an issue with the electric parking brake.
Once reset would work for a few times until failing with a fault showing on the dash.

The reset accordingly to the owner, was unplug the motor from the module and apply voltage to the motor wires/plug to release the brake, then disconnect the battery and the brake would work again, but only for a few times...

I could see that the brake disks and pads were fairly new, and I wonder if the calibration was performed correctly in the first place...

Follow me on this video to understand what the problem actually was and how I have sorted it out.

Hope you enjoy the video and that you find some good information on it.
Any questions or comments, put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!
