Damaged wiring near the parking brake connectors can cause this error. It may be intermittent.

EDIT: CSP 22P31 has been released for this issue.

Apparently this TSB does not exist here yet, but this happened to my car. Looking at the green stuff it has been going on for a long time before it actually broke off completely.

This is so much a common issue I cannot understand how they can just keep using this kind of taped wire harness and not a flexible spring tube or anything else on these wires going through the moving suspension.

Hint for those experiencing this suddenly, if parking brake is applied and it suddenly can't be retracted, just moving the wheel up and down on the suspension by jacking or moving slowly to even or uneven area, just to move the suspension may "fix" this issue enough to retract the brake to avoid having to tow the car away. (Read last paragraph before doing this!) The connector going to the caliper can be unplugged by hand through the rim after it is retracted to avoid being automatically applied until it can be fixed. The brake can also be disengaged mechanically by turning a bolt on the back side of the brake motor.

The electrical connection is used only for parking brake, but be aware if disconnected that if in auto hold or one pedal drive, if left for a long time in drive and stopped with brakes applied the car will switch to parking brake automatically without park being applied, so it may automatically switch to using just one or possible no brakes if car is used with one of the parking brakes disconnected. Use this to drive to a shop to have the wires spliced only, and consider turning off one pedal drive and auto hold.

Wish I had seen this last week. It wasn’t on RVAtom’s list of TSBs so I wasn’t properly armed when I went to the dealer. My dealer insisted on doing the BlueCruise update to see if it would solve the intermittent park brake issue. In doing so they not only didn’t get BlueCruise installed, I now get continuous “low battery service soon” messages and my warning chimes now sound like an Atari 2600. But with the update “completed” (according to them) they finally took a look at the wiring.

Edit: I went ahead and added this to the list.
