If your code and warning lights/message do not return to normal after install, you may need to manually move the brake calipers. Take off the motor, use a torx driver of an appropriate size and manually move the caliper from where the motor would attach. Put it in a middle position and then reinstall the motor. If this has helped, please like and subscribe.

The Foxwell scanner I use can be ordered from Amazon here:
amzn.to/43VThwd
Launch X431 Elite 2.0 Mercedes: amzn.to/3RMQtgL
Discount code RPNGNSYM
This is a very easy replacement taking less than an hour. Minimal skill and minimal tools required. Diagnosis requires an OBD II code reader that can access live data on parking brake modules. This will allow you to find the correct motor to replace. I used a Foxwell code reader.

Very helpful video. Thank you! Had same issue with my 2018 GLE 43 AMG. Bought parts from Amazon and had a local mechanic replaced it for $20. Total cost of part and repair was about $60. Thank you for sharing and thanks to KZfaq for this platform.

Great video. Similar issues on our 18 GLE. Looked up part number and ordered off Amazon. I went ahead and replaced both since I was already jacking up etc.. One thing of note is I don’t see how anybody could do this without removing the tire unless they had a full lift. Needless to say $100 or so later and both replaced with all warnings cleared. Thanks again!

@letsrolldiyauto1532 Жыл бұрын

Yes, you'd need a lift. Definitely easier to remove the tire.

I wonder if you can just swap out the actuator and the code will disappear? The scanner is more expensive than the parts and it’s only for clearing it. Great video though, really informative🤙

Yes the code will disappear.

@cwpaters Ай бұрын

Hi Frank, this video is great, i have 2 actuators sitting in my garage ready to fit both or just the drivers side if the issue resolves with just 1 actuator. I do have a question though which would help greatly, my drivers side is locked on, if i change the actuator on that side donyou know if the replacememt position of the actuators are in an open or closed position? Or does it not matter?

@letsrolldiyauto1532 Ай бұрын

Shouldn't matter. But I's put both actuators in the Parking Brake Off position. If one actuator is faulty, the you may need to double check manually to see if the parking brake is actually off before fitting the new one.

@letsrolldiyauto1532 4 ай бұрын

The Mercedes parts website shows that this is the same part number for your AMG, so the answer is yes.

I believe it is a different part. But call the Mercedes dealership parts department and ask for the part numbers for both your model and a 2016 W166.

@letsrolldiyauto1532 Ай бұрын

There really isn’t a need to calibrate. Just activate and deactivate the break a purple of times. If it won’t go, then deactivate and manually open the brake (the motor needs to be off the vehicle). Replace the motor and it should be good.

@letsrolldiyauto1532 11 ай бұрын

Take the motor off, then use a torx or hex driver that will fit into the caliper portion. Manually rotate both directions until it stops. Then put it half way. Now, re-install the motor and it should work. I replaced the one on the other side and the same thing happened. When I did this procedure, it worked fine.
