Parking Brake Warning
Every few months, I get a Parking Brake Warning flashing on my dashboard. I open the hatch, pull the cable in the left compartment, and it resets.
Came back on today.
Is there anything to do to stop it?

Replace the EMF actuator and two Bowden cables, probably the hat components, too. The EMF actuator and ita connector are located above/on top of the rear differential on the rear subframe. I don't recommend an aftermarket EMF actuator.
