Motor for Electric Parking Brake (EPB). Porsche 981 / 718 (982) Boxster & Cayman  ❭  29860940

Motor for electric parking brake (EPB).
The parking brake actuator motor translates signals from the vehicle’s electronic control module or EPB switch into mechanical movement that engages or disengages the parking brake. As part of the braking system, this motor helps hold the vehicle securely when parked - even on inclines - and works seamlessly with other vehicle safety systems.

These parking brake actuator motors are factory-original Porsche units engineered to control the application and release of the electric parking brake. They are part of the EPB system that replaces traditional mechanical cables with electric servos that clamp the rear brake pads when the parking brake is activated. These components are designed and built by Porsche, ensuring perfect fit, correct electrical characteristics, and long-term durability.

Function:
•   Electric actuation: Uses a motor to control lever or caliper movement for the parking brake.
•   Precision control: Provides consistent braking force without manual cable operation.
•   System communication: Interfaces with the vehicle’s onboard control modules to ensure accurate brake application and release.
•   Durability: Designed to withstand repeated operation and exposure typical of parking brake use. 

A failed electronic parking brake actuator can lead to:
•  Parking brake that will not engage or release
•  EPB warning or fault messages on the dash
•  Loss of hill-hold or auto-hold functionality
•  Reduced parking safety.
Replacing a faulty actuator with the correct Genuine Porsche part restores proper EPB operation and maintains the vehicle’s original braking performance and safety levels.

Consider replacing the parking brake actuator motor if you notice:
•  EPB system warning lights 
•  Parking brake that won’t engage/disengage
•  Unusual noises during park-brake operation
•  Loss of related safety functions (hill hold, auto-hold).
