In many ways its a lot more simple than the mechanical handbrake - just an electric motor on the back of the caliper. Much easier to only change pads and disks with the EPB - just put it in "service mode" and then work on the brakes.

Do you think part of the problem is people with automatics sometimes dont bother with the hand brake and just leave the car in P and though lack of use the EPB jams up ? Jules |

You can do it without a reader if you search the forum, as I remember seeing it on here. A cheap reader is unlikely to do it. |

More than likely, as the foot handbrake on my Mercedes starts to seize up if not used. |

Have looked TooBlue & failed, matters not so much as I can do it manually. |

No, Reader is not the way. Putting electric hand brake into service mode before changing pads. Procedure is: Ensure its in park or neutral and the park brake deactivated and ignition turned on. 1. Press and hold the parking brake switch in the release position. 2. Wait 2 seconds 3. Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position. 4. Wait 2 seconds 5. Turn ignition off and on immediately whilst still finger on park button and foot on throttle. 6. An audible noise will confirm service mode, it will also be displayed on dash. You will hear the brake motors activate for a while. Deactivation with ignition on. 1. Press and hold the parking brake switch in the apply position. 2. Wait 2 seconds 3. Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position. 4. Wait 2 seconds 5. Turn ignition off and on again. keeping finger on park button and foot on throttle. Jules |
