Hello. I know I'm almost 5 years late getting here. But I'm curious to hear how this problem finally got resolved.
In my S80 2007 model the "Park Brake Not Fully Released" message kept coming up on the dashboard with the red triangle signal and the audible alarm kept going on and on even though the car was obviously moving and I was wondering why the onboard computer could not figure out that since the car is moving normally that must mean that the Parking Brake had already been fully released. IMHO what an idiotic electronic parking brake system causing so much tension to the user.
The Volvo "specialist" I took the car to said some "module" was faulty and would have to be replaced. He also said there was nothing that could be done to stop the audible alarm in the meantime while waiting for the part to be ordered.
So I went back home completely ****ed off with the nutcases back in Sweden who designed the system. What? No way to disconnect the audible alarm?
I opened up the Manual and looked up fuses. Refer here :

and go to page 210, then page 215 to refer the fuses in the rear trunk. Scroll down to Module B (White) Fuses No. 11 and 12.
That's what it says in the Manual. But what I found is that actually the Fuses No. 11 and 12 are in the middle set, i.e Module A. Plus the fuses are installed upside down compared with the diagram in the Manual. At least that is what I found here in Malaysia. Just one more of the many, many things wrong with this miserable model.
Well I just pulled out the 2 fuses. That's all and now the audible alarm has stopped, although the warning message still comes up on the dashboard. Meanwhile something strange is that the "Parking Assist" function has also been disabled. Which, according to the fuses layout has nothing at all to do with Fuses No. 11 and 12.
Anyway I can now still drive normally without that damned noise going off all the time. Still waiting for that "module" to arrive.
