I have not seen this problem before and my mechanic is stumped. It starts and runs fine in gear. If I use the parking brake it stalls when I release it.
Anyone with any ideas please
Thanks

 

Was there anything happening with the vehicle before this happened? Any recent repairs? Try doing a hard reset of the battery and see if that changes things.

 

The rear brakes were replaced, pads and rotors

Hi and welcome.

does the car stall or stop running?
did the mechanic reset the hand brake calibration because this not done automatically?

After completing any mechanical service work on the Park brake actuator, Park brake cables or http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=calipersthrough which the Park brake operates (including brake pad replacement), the Park brake must be re-calibrated to the
procedure in this bulletin. Failure to do this may result in incorrect operation of the Park brake, with warning lamps
illuminating and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) C1801-00 or C1802-00 being stored.

1. Reset the EPB module as detailed below
a. Switch off the ignition.
b. Disconnect the battery for 30 seconds (see TOPIx
Workshop Manual, section 414-01).
c. Re-connect the battery.

2. Start the engine.

3. Firmly apply and release the five times.

4. Confirm that the message 'NOT CALIBRATED' or 'APPLY FOOT
AND PARK BRAKE' is displayed on the instrument cluster
message center. This indicates that the parking brake is in
calibration mode.

5. Lightly press the pedal.

6. Apply the parking brake by using the EPB switch.

7. Release the parking brake.

8. Release the .

9. Confirm that the brake is no longer illuminated on the
instrument pack and that the 'NOT CALIBRATED' message is no
longer displayed in the message center.

10. Apply and release the EPB five times to ensure no error is present

Make sure that the mechanic resets Windows, kick down, and has the radio codes.
will try and post a link to all of the procedure later.

 

thank you

 

Did it work?

 

Do you mean the engine stops running if you manually apply then release the EPB while in gear?

If so, given there is no mechanical connection between the brake and engine, this is an electrical problem. Miscalibration will not cause this.

Does the EPB operate normally when not activated manually?
