The dealership told me that I need a new EPB actuator Module , does anyone know if I can just replace the module itself and can I put one in from a quatroporto.my car is a 2011 Gran Turismo and I was looking on ebay and a guy has one fro 350.00 with the cable , I noticed that the module looks exactly like mine . can I just swap the module ,or is he electronic circuit board different. Also can I just replace it and not replace the cables . the cable seems very easy to disconnect from my old unit and attach to a new unit . and lastly will I have to have it recalibrated ,or will it just be a plug and play . any comments will be appreciated

You can probably just swap the circuit board and use your old stuff if the cables are good...You are gonna need a scan tool to do a calibration of the thing after installation...It is not plug and play....Jason

are you talking about the brake actuator or the convertible top warning and blinking audometer ? if i don,t press the park off button on dash the brake light comes on and when i restart it i get a warning message park brake failure bring to dealer . as for the convertible top warning and the audometer blinking I seemed to fix that issue, my problem was in the steering wheel controls and back lit lights,(they stopped working a while ago and thats when my convertible top was giving me problems , so I discconected a lower ribbon wire from inside the steering wheel and my problem with that went away. Im debating weather to by a used working steering wheel but just like mine developed an internal problem ,I dont know when and how long the replacement will last. for now I am living with controls not working on steering wheel and I just remeber to press park brake off button. I really dont use or need the EPB no hills here where I live

I was talking about the brake actuator part. My abs light, brake and ecs? (I think will stay lit)

I am not sure whats causing this problem my problem is different then yours , I would bring it to an independent shop that has the proper scan tool ,to see if a fault code comes up ,may be brake actuator module or problem with a component in the abs system.
