C10E2 on Volkswagen
Control Module for Electronic Parking Brake: Electrical Failure
C10E2 on Volkswagen vehicles indicates control module for electronic parking brake: electrical failure. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Volkswagen model — most commonly on Touareg. C10E2 is a VAG (Volkswagen/Audi Group) chassis fault code stored by the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) control module. It indicates an electrical failure in the EPB system (subcode 01), or in the related variant (subcode 54) a missing calibration/basic setting. It typically points to a problem in the parking-brake motor circuit and often presents with a flashing parking-brake switch LED and a warning message in the instrument cluster. Typical repair costs on Volkswagen range from $300 to $900, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of C10E2
- •Faulty wiring, corroded connectors, or poor ground in the EPB motor circuit
- •Defective electronic parking brake actuator/motor (caliper motor)
- •Low or weak battery voltage damaging or disrupting the EPB module
- •Missing basic setting / calibration not performed after a brake or caliper service (subcode 54)
- •Failed EPB control module
- •Air gap not reset after rear pad/caliper replacement
C10E2 on Volkswagen by Model
Volkswagen Touareg(1 issue)
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator / Module Electrical Failure2011-2018
The 7P-generation Touareg's electronic parking brake can fail electrically, with a flashing yellow light on the EPB switch and a 'Park Brake Fault' dash message. In some cases the brake will not disengage, leaving the vehicle immobile, or it locks on due to actuator air-gap tolerance issues. The fault is typically traced to one of the two rear caliper park-brake motor/actuators or the EPB control module. A common scan code is C10E2 (Electronic Parking Brake control module electrical failure).
