Even if the motor is dead, I'm sure there has to be someone in your town that can repair it for less than $1000. |

New update
Well after resiging myself to go to the dealership i thought I would borrow a freinds $8,000 Snap On scan tool. There were 4 codes, one was that there was a sporadic malfunction and another that said error comminicating with DSC. I cleared all EMF codes and everything is back to normal. Been driving for two days with no errors. I was waiting for my new cable so I could do this myself with NCS Expert. I bet anyone can do this with NCS Expert which is what I would do if I get the error again.

park brake issues
Hey every one, my name is mike and I'm new to this site!
I have an 08 4.8 sport x5 and the park break is malfunctioning so I did some reading on this site and found out that its a pretty common problem and also learned how to take the actuator out, at this point i have the actuator out of the car and i have no issues that i can see (bad connections burnt trace wires on the board ect., I tested the motor and it works great and i tested the pwr at the plug and it is present so im wondering if anyone knows what all the diferent wires do? which one triggers to set, release ect. i would like to test it out of the car to see if its a problem with the board in the actuator box or if the problem is in the wiring of the car? any help would be great thanks |

Hi all
thanks for all your posts re E70 parking break actuator. I have a question re fitting the cables back in. When my actuator broke, it sheared the cables as well. Now that I have the parts and am ready for the mechanic to put it back together, he was wondering how far to screw the long threaded cable end (drivers side?) into the actuator to ensure that when it is switched on it is not too tight and so snaps the cable? Has anyone any suggestions as the best way to do it? Thanks in advance |

replaced the actuator with a refurbished but no luck
Got an indi mechanic to replace the actuator but error message won't go away and resetting it is not working.
Also looking for guidance on how to make it work. Also can I sell the broken one ? I am sure there is a company interested to refurbish them. |

Anyone know what to do?
Changed motor and fuse in the emf module, during driving I can use the handbrake module but once I release it it doesn’t stay on the parking break. Orange parking light still on, does the emf module has a error that it keeps in memory and needs to be reset ? |

Not trying to resurrect an old thread, but as this is one of the first ones that comes up when you search E70 Parking Brake Actuator, I want to say thanks by adding a few items.
First thanks to DarkMesa8 for the original post. It allowed me to do the repair in a couple of hours. Mine had the negative spade on the motor broken clean off. Simple problem, not really an easy fix. There is small hole next to the spade. I used a small drill bit to enlarge it, then pushed a wire inside (next to and in contact with the broken spade), then soldered it. Not pretty but it seems to have worked. https://photos.app.goo.gl/MYTaT3H4Fobj7GxZ7 2nd Tip - The Ebrake reset procedure. I have seen it a few times online and on Youtube. For my X5, it only works when in DRIVE. I tried it a bunch of other ways: Ignition on, engine off, foot on brake. Engine on, tranny in Park. Unhooked the battery for an hour. Nothing. I could get the park brake to work while driving, but still had the error, until I tried doing the reset procedure in Drive, foot on the brake pedal. It cleared the dash error after holding the switch down for 5 seconds. On a side note, using bimmergeeks ProTool, I did not have any parking brake codes stored in the module once clearing it after the fix. But still had the error as soon as the truck woke up. Hopefully this will help someone else out. Steve |
