I was having mine show up on the scanner, but with no issue working if was pulled on.
Guessing my issue was from always keeping it from engaging, when removing the key.
Pulled the key out a couple times till it started to engage properly.
Cleared the code, & so far so good, i still keep it from engaging most times.
I hope this helps.

Worst case, read its codes which will tell you why it's unhappy.

May just need to be recalibrated, it should be done whenever the rear brake pads and or discs are replaced, or it can lose its positioning, if the battery goes down.

Its something like, Start the car, apply the footbrake,keep the footbrake on and apply the handbrake, you should feel the brake pedal pulling away from you slightly as the handbrake engages.
