Electric handbrake died (u1119, u1319)

Unread post by michok2 »

I have a Citroën C5 X7, and one day, after removing and refitting the front left wheel, the electric parking brake stopped working.

The fault codes are:

BSI: F01F
ABS/ESP: U1119 and U1319
To be able to continue driving the car, I had to manually release the parking brake

Here’s what I’ve checked so far:

The fuses near the battery seem fine. I measured 11.99 V on both sides.
The connector doesn’t appear to be damaged.
With the connector unplugged, I measured 6.66 V across the two largest pins.
I have two questions:

Does anyone have any other ideas about what I should check?
Should the wiring loom for the electric parking brake be fully covered by suitable corrugated conduit? At tight bends, is it normal to have electrical tape wrapped around the conduit, or should it be protected in some other way?

It may jog someone's memory if you look up the fault codes and post the definitions here. :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Hi,
