Electronic Parking Brake Screech / Noise from Parking Brake
Drum / Shoe Drag – Diagnostic Procedure
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
LR3 (LA) VIN: 5A000360 - Onwards
Model Year: 2005 - Onwards
Range Rover Sport (LS) VIN: 6A900129 - Onwards
Model Year: 2006 - Onwards
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: Vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following issues:
o A rubbing / squeaking noise from the rear / parking brake when the vehicle is moving.
o Evidence of parking brake shoe-drag (heat build-up / excessive parking brake shoe lining wear).
o A screech noise when applying or releasing the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) while the vehicle is
stationary. The EPB warning lamp may be illuminated and DTC C1A43-00, C1A53-68 and / or C1A46-62
may be stored.
The parking brake shoes may be corroded, worn or incorrectly adjusted, causing excessive lining wear and /
or noise and heat. If the condition has been present for a while, the internal components of the EPB actuator
may have over-traveled and may be jammed.

NOTE: If the root cause of the parking brake issue is incorrect adjustment related to a previous
repair, a Warranty claim may not be made for the repair.
Action: In the event of a customer concern of any of the above, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic
Procedures outlined below.

PARK BRAKE SQUEAK WITH VEHICLE MOVING

INSPECT AND SERVICE PARK BRAKE

CAUTION: A Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Power Supply must be connected to the vehicle battery
during IDS diagnosis / module programming.
1. Connect the Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Power Supply to the vehicle battery.

NOTE: IDS must be loaded with latest software release DVD Patch File.
2. Connect the IDS to the vehicle and begin a new diagnostic session by entering the correct VIN for the current
vehicle.
3. Using IDS, place EPB actuator into mount mode.
4. Remove EPB 30A fuse 'LINK FL8' from the Battery Junction Box.

NOTE: Global Technical Reference (GTR) lookup Figure 1

sequence is as follows:
GTR Home > NAS > Model > Service Information > Model
Year > Workshop Manuals > 2: Chassis > 206: Brake
Systems > 206-05: Parking Brake Actuation
5. Refer to Workshop Manual (GTR) Section 206-05 (70.40.09)
to remove the parking brake shoes.
6. Inspect the general condition of the parking brake shoes,
springs, and back plate:
• Look for evidence of brake drag. This may be evident
through excessive shoe lining or drum wear. There may
also be evidence of heat build-up on the shoes, drums or
other internal components.
• Ensure shoe hold-down clips are not damaged.
• Remove any build-up of brake dust from the drum / shoe
interface. ('A' - Figure 1)
• Inspect shoe lining minimum thickness (2.0 mm [0.08
in]).

CAUTION: Care should be taken not to over-compress the hold down clips during installation.
Ensure parking brake shoes are held against the back plate.

NOTE: Use Molyguard GS2039 (SYL500050) to grease the park brake shoe / back plate platforms.
('B' - Figure 1)
7. Refer to Workshop Manual (GTR) Section 206-05 (70.40.09) to install the park brake shoes.
8. Install EPB 30A fuse 'LINK FL8' into the Battery Junction Box.

CAUTION: The parking brake shoe and lining adjustment procedure must be carried out completely.
Refer to SSM34964 for video clips of procedure.
9. Refer to Workshop Manual (GTR) Section 206-05: Parking Brake and Actuation (70.40.11) and perform the
Parking Brake Shoe and Lining Adjustment procedure.

6. Inspect the general condition of the parking brake shoes, springs, and back plate:
• Look for evidence of brake drag. This may be evident through excessive shoe lining or drum wear. There
may also be evidence of heat build-up on the shoes, drums or other internal components. If there is
evidence of excessive heat build-up (brake shoe lining separation, significantly discolored discs), the
brake discs should be replaced.
• Ensure shoe hold-down clips are not damaged.
• Remove any build-up of brake dust from the drum / shoe interface. ('A' - Figure 1)
• Inspect shoe lining minimum thickness (2.0 mm [0.08 in]).

CAUTION: Care should be taken not to over-compress the hold down clips during installation.

8. Verify the parking brake cables are not seized: Figure 3

• Inspect cable ends for heat damage.
• Check that the brake cables are correctly attached by
releasing the outer cable retaining nuts from the back
plates, and pulling on the cables. The cables should not
detach from the brake.
• Ensure the E-clips are installed to the outer brake cable
ends in the correct groove. (Figure 3)
• Install the outer cable retaining nuts and tighten to
8 Nm (6 lbf. ft).

CAUTION: The parking brake shoe and lining

adjustment procedure must be carried out completely. Refer to SSM34964 for video clips of
procedure.
9. Refer to Workshop Manual (GTR) Section 206-05: Parking Brake and Actuation (70.40.11) and perform the
Parking Brake Shoe and Lining Adjustment procedure.
10. Using IDS, clear all DTC's from the EPB Module fault memory.
VERIFYING EPB ACTUATOR OPERATION
1. Select transmission gear position 'NEUTRAL'.
Select transfer case range 'LOW'.

NOTE: If the repair has been successful there will be no abnormal loud screeching noises coming
from the EPB actuator while carrying out this operation. If there are abnormal screeching noises, the
EPB actuator may have suffered internal damage and may require replacement. Perform the
UNJAMMING THE PARK BRAKE procedure prior to replacing the actuator. Carry out as a separate
warranty claim.
2. Using the EPB switch inside the vehicle, apply and release the parking brake three times.

NOTE: If any DTC's have been logged, further investigation is required into possible causes of
these DTC's. Refer to the IDS DTC Help Text for further guidance to investigate any DTC's set as a
separate warranty claim. If the repair has been successful the DTC's listed at the start of this bulletin
will not have logged and the EPB red warning lamp will no longer be flashing.
3. Using IDS, check for DTCs in the EPB Module.
4. If any DTC's have been logged, carry out as a separate warranty claim.
5. If no DTC's have been logged, exit the current session.
6. Disconnect the IDS and the Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Battery Supply.
