    Hi,

    Handbrake is electronic .
    I would start with diagnostic computer to see if the car is communicating with the park brake module.

    If it is, see if it will go into service mode (that you use to change the pads)
    You will probably need to find someone with the correct diagnostic tool.

    Same issue, also stops cruise control.

    Was the cause of the issue found?
