Fix BMW X5 E70 Parking Brake Malfunction

[@richardhooper3362]

Top post! Had this problem for a while assuming it was the actuator. Tried the reset and it worked first time without having to clear the fault code. Thanks so much for your post.

Thank you!

I have a volvo and same thing happened to me. Left the car parked with a weakish battery for 9 days while i travelled. Came back to this error. Don't know why these manufacturers switched to an electronic system for this when the reliable mechanical system really didnt need to be changed.

Thanks for this video. Where can I get that special cable from any links?

[@GrzegorzDurda]

Did you ever get the fix on the your tire pressure monitors?

[@drs214tx]

Were these the errors you saw? 4EC8: position sensor 4EC9: parking lock 4ECA: parking lock 4FF5: Shift-by-wire EGNER counter

Hi my bmw 5gt making big noise when you press parking brake, find out that driver side cable broken, how do you think what could be issue? Is it sensor or relay?thanks

[@VV-yh3ni]

Hi. What do you mean by big noise? My 2011 530D GT gives me an error that the parking brake is not working but it's actually working. The gong keeps going on though.

[@avaz8855]

The issue was a broken cable lol it could happen because it was old or when they adjust the cable to tight

[@Cy4niide]

@@VV-yh3ni Did you solve your problem? I have the exact same issue...

[@ArniesWorkShop101]

the cause on that was the contacts on the fuses were dirty/faulty. by removing and reinstalling, the fuse, it got a better contact. i would replace the fuse or clean the contacts w/ Sandpaper

Thank you for sharing this DIY

On this video you said the reset method of pedal and parking brake button. How do you do that? Not familiar with system.

[@mikex5m241]

Press and hold the brake pedal, lift e-brake liver up, on a dash you will see a indicater light coming on. You are done. To release: press and hold the brake pedal again, push the liver down. You done.

Where the fuses located

[@Otrebor0707]

Did you head a very loud screeching noise after unlocking the car? Mine did & after replacing with a refurbished one, it did the same thing. I have a new one this time to install.

[@SD-bj9cy]

Taga Carael Did you fix it?

[@Otrebor0707]

Yes fixed with a brand new unit from dealer

[@Ybfly10]

Will just resetting the code solve the error?

[@sinanalhamdani9316]

Hi, could you tell us how you coded the error step by step please. Thanks

[@weldingjunkie]

He guys I bought the cheapest cable on Amazon: BMW K+DCAN USB to OBDII OBD2 Car Cable Diagnostic Scanner Tool I paid about US $20 for it. Used the driver software that came with the cable and also here: www.bimmergeeks.net/downloads Once you get the cable connected properly, the INPA software (downloaded from link above) should detect the car. Follow the software menus to reset the parking brake.

[@mydc2200]

Reset all the time and the parking light keep coming back

[@karihakala9777]

I had the error code 006023 and the yellow parking brake light was constantly on display. It dissapeared after error code reset with Carly and resetting the parking brake by pressing brake and pushing down the parking brake switch. Similarly as i the video.

[@suffyxx8662]

When fitting the cable back in how far must it be screwed in

[@brightmdrum9561]

Have a car with the same issue

[@pegcity4eva]

The reset works for me for like 5 seconds then comes back. Oh well

[@marcshah3282]

Did anyone even try to just disconnect the negative battery cable for 30 minutes?? That would make more sense to me instead of doing all this work for no reason.

[@petertwiss356]

The codes are permanent in flash, this is an old school method which does not work anymore
