Automatic Parking Brake Stuck

[jnoremac]

After parking my car and setting the parking brake and going in the house, I came back out after about an hour and released the parking brake. I heard it retract as it normally does but when I put it into reverse it moved very slightly and abruptly stopped. Putting it in drive yielded the same behavior. I tried to put the brakes in and out of service mode and still the same issue. I took the rear left wheel off and it looks as though the parking brake is still engaged. I’ve also tried activating it and deactivating it a few times and still no luck. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the car moving? Do I need to take the electronic parking brake off and manually depress it? I apologize, I am not familiar with electronic parking brakes.
TIA!

Just to make sure, did you have the door open when you tried to move the car?

 

[jnoremac]

No, the door was closed because I know it puts it into park if you try to roll away

Did you, by chance, just finish doing some spirited driving that heated up your brakes?

I forgot to respond here but yes I did, and after leaving the car overnight and turning the parking brake on and off it seemed to be fine. Never had that happen to me before. Thanks everyone!

Ah, so pads were sticking. Same reason not to put e-brake on after a track session.

Ohhhh I see, I did not know that. I have not gotten the chance to track the car yet but that is good to know. Thanks for y’all’s help
