C060FLeft Park Brake Actuator Stuck On
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- C060F is the reverse of C060E: the left actuator does not release, or the module cannot confirm that it has. An Advics patent recognises release by watching motor current while the motor runs backwards: once the current stops changing after a minimum time of around 200 ms, the clamping force is taken as zero and the motor runs on briefly to set pad clearance. A release that never shows this pattern, or a motor that stalls, fits a stuck-on fault. Seized pistons, a corroded spindle nut, pads frozen to the disc or a broken gear stage are typical. ZF's workshop guide requires the scan tool maintenance mode before the actuator unit is replaced. Driving with the brake applied overheats the rear brake.
