Problems with the electric parking brake on a BMW 1 Series

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my BMW 1 (2019, 49913 km). The electric handbrake isn't working properly and can't be put into workshop mode. Has anyone had similar experiences or knows how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!

Check if the battery is fully charged, as a weak battery can affect the electric handbrake's functionality. If the battery is fine, try resetting the system by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.

Hello, unfortunately it still didn't work.

Inspect the fuses related to the electric handbrake system, as a blown fuse could be causing the issue. Refer to your owner's manual for the exact location of these fuses. If the fuses are intact, it might be necessary to have a diagnostic scan performed to identify any error codes. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions.

All values and fuses are okay and yet it doesn't work. How can that be?? I bought the device specifically for this and it doesn't work.

Check the wiring and connections to the electric handbrake motor for any signs of damage or corrosion. If everything appears intact, it might be a problem with the handbrake motor itself or the control module. Consider having a professional mechanic inspect these components. Let me know if you need further guidance or have any questions.

It just worked without problems with the workshop's tester in a specialist workshop. The Carly adapter was then tested on other vehicles and it didn't work there either.

It sounds like the issue might be with the Carly adapter itself. I recommend reaching out to Carly's customer support for assistance or a possible replacement. If you have any other questions or need further help, feel free to ask.
