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?

Clean the connections.

Exactly what connections? Is there an additional sensor, a d if so, where is it located?

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.

You can try running the maintenance routine through ISTA
