Service Parking Brake Issue

[slowshift]

Started my 4BW this morning to head out to work and was greeted with the attached message. The parking break did not respond to the release button, nor would it release automatically upon trying to move like it should. Tried a few restarts and the caliper remains seized!

Has anyone run into this or found a fix? I ran a search on the forum and found reference to someone needing to get codes cleared at the dealer, but I’d like to avoid a tow to the dealer if at all possible.

Is there a fuse for it?

Hopefully you get the issue resolved... Even if you have to pay the dealer a visit.

Hahaha damn, that is embarrassing. Fixed for ease of search for anyone else who runs into the issue!

You are not alone and we all have our share of embarrassments. ; )

As a last resort before involving the dealer, I would do battery disconnect for a half hour or so.
