Well done James

As youre full of xmas spirit any chance you are offering a discount on labour charges?!

Just had the infamous EPB issue and after the 'emergency park release' Im guessing the occasional grinding noise sounding like a disintegrated park brake shoe from the rear wheel means a very expensive Xmas for me

Mark, I am not sure your problem is with the EPB Module, however I hope the following will help...

Quote:

PARKING BRAKE MODULE

The parking brake module monitors external and internal inputs and adjusts the tension of the brake cables to operate the drum brakes and provide the required parking brake function.

The parking brake module is installed on a support bracket attached to the front of the spare wheel carrier. Two rubber mounts, installed on lugs on the underside of the parking brake module, locate in holes in the support bracket.

The top corners of the parking brake module are secured to the support bracket with rubber mounts and flanged nuts.

The main components of the parking brake module are:

*A PCB (printed circuit board) incorporating the ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) for control of the parking brake.
*An electric motor.
*A gearbox.
*A spline shaft.
*A force sensor.

The spline shaft and the force sensor are connected together by a latch on the end of the spline shaft. The spline shaft rotates on the latch and moves axially in the gearbox. The latch and the force sensor slide in a channel in the body of the parking brake module.

To apply or release the drum brakes, the parking brake module runs the electric motor, which drives the gearbox. The gearbox turns the spline shaft to increase or decrease the tension in the brake cables. The parking brake module monitors the load exerted by the brake cables using the input from the force sensor.

The EPB issue started the day before the grinding so could either/both so covering all options!
Anyway will start another thread if I need help save creeping all over the 'Well done Lookers Park Royal' one.

Thanks again!
