Electric handbrake motor Mercedes-Benz W222, W166, W292

Even in such reliable German cars as Mercedes-Benz, various spare parts and components fail. If you are a happy owner of a car from this concern with a W222, W166 or W292 body, and the handbrake has stopped functioning normally, then it is highly likely that the problem is in the breakdown of the electric motor inside the unit. This can be indicated by the following 2 factors:

1. The P symbol appears on the instrument panel.
2. The car does not enter the handbrake mode (and is not removed from it).

If it so happened that the car does not get out of the handbrake state, then an effective method of freelance unlocking can be applied, after which it can be used for its intended purpose. To do this, you need to get a red emergency key from the tool kit that comes with the Mercedes-Benz W222, W166 and W292 cars. Then you need to open the trunk and find the emergency release cable there, to which the key is attached, after which you need to pull until it clicks.

This is a useful method in such an unpleasant situation of blocking the car in a state of impossibility to remove it from the handbrake, but such actions still do not solve the problem. Because, as a rule, the reason for the malfunctioning handbrake is associated with an electric motor that tightens and relaxes the brake cables. It is he who often burns out or otherwise fails. Complete replacement of the entire unit from the original manufacturer is a rather expensive undertaking, which, moreover, is not mandatory. It is only necessary to replace the electric motor separately so that the whole system works stably and comfortably.
