17B60

17B60 is a diagnostic trouble code, or DTC, that indicates a problem with the electric park brake system. This code is often related to a malfunction in the actuator that engages or disengages the parking brake. The electric park brake system uses an electric motor to apply and release the parking brake, and if this motor or its associated components fail, the DTC 17B60 may be triggered.

Symptoms associated with the 17B60 code can vary but often include the parking brake not engaging or disengaging properly, or an illuminated parking brake warning light on the dashboard. In some cases, a warning message may also appear on the vehicle's infotainment system or driver display. The severity of the issue can range from a minor inconvenience to a safety concern, depending on whether the parking brake is functioning at all.

Diagnosing the 17B60 code typically involves inspecting the electric park brake actuator, checking its electrical connections, and testing the motor itself. Other potential causes could include issues with the parking brake control module, wiring harness damage, or problems with the brake calipers themselves, as the actuator is often integrated into the caliper assembly. Repairing this code usually involves replacing the faulty actuator or addressing any identified electrical faults. It is recommended to consult a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair.
