Braking and parking-brake diagnosis
An electronic parking-brake warning may reflect actuator mechanics, cable tension, switch or module faults, while ABS and stability warnings may arise from wheel-speed sensors, tone rings, steering-angle data or supply voltage. Read the correct controller, inspect mechanical components and compare live sensor signals. Do not force a jammed parking brake mechanism or replace an ABS module before circuit checks.
Manufacturer-specific considerations
Older LR3/LR4 electronic parking brake systems differ from later integrated rear-caliper designs. Identifying the chassis is essential before choosing repair and calibration procedures.
Repair confirmation
After repair, verify secure parking hold, normal release, brake operation and absence of stability warnings.
A parking brake that will not apply or release can involve actuator, cable, mechanical brake components or electrical control issues.
How the concern should be diagnosed
Confirm the warning and mechanical state before operating the vehicle; scan relevant modules and inspect applicable hardware. Avoid repeated activation if the system is binding.
