Applies to the following models:
9 modelsS60 (2011–), S80 (2007–), V40 (2013–), V40 Cross Country (2013–), V60 (2011–), V60 Cross Country (2015–), V70 (2008–), XC60 (2009–), XC70 (2008–)
What does this fault code mean?
The parking brake module (PBM) supplies the right brake caliper directly and checks the braking force in it. The fault code is stored when the braking force is insufficient for a longer period, which means the caliper cannot reach the position it has been commanded to.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance, oxidation or open circuit in the connections
- Battery voltage too low
- Mechanical fault in the right brake caliper
What you can do
- 1Read the fault code, clear it and test drive the car using the parking brake to see whether it returns
- 2Check that the battery is charged and that its terminals are firmly fitted
- 3Check that the connectors to the right brake caliper are firmly fitted and not corroded
- 4Use a multimeter to check that the wire to the right brake caliper has no open circuit
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop check the caliper mechanically and replace it if it is damaged
- 6The parking brake is a safety function: have a workshop check it if it does not work as it should
Symptoms you may notice4
- The parking brake warning lamp lights up or behaves abnormally
- Yellow warning symbol and text message in the display
