10. Benefits of the EPB service and reset tool The EPB service and reset tool allows interaction with the vehicle brake management electronics for maintenance and troubleshooting operations. The following functions may be available according to the type of vehicle and its build options: - cylinder opening/closing for vehicles equipped with electric parking brake to replace the brake pads; - electric parking brake pressure force adjustment; - electric brake disabling to replace brake pads; - braking system service reset - brake bleeding - brake system fault code reading - fault code reset from the control unit once the cause has been removed. Thanks to the integrated full multiplexer the instrument does not need adapter cables to move communication lines on different pins of the EOBD J1962 diagnosis connector. During all operations the vehicle dashboard must always be on (key ON but engine OFF). Otherwise the instrument will not be able to communicate with the vehicle onboard control unit and the relevant error will be triggered. Pay attention to those vehicles that switch off the dashboard after some time to save the battery. Vehicle models differ one from the other so for this reason operations available on one vehicle may be completely different from those available on other models. 11. Vehicle selection From the main menu select the vehicle brand, model and version/year. After this selection all available functions for that type of vehicle will be displayed. 12. Functions 12.1. Cylinder opening for vehicles equipped with EPB Make sure the vehicle is on level ground, so not liable to involuntary roll away. Always engage a gear, or in case of automatic transmission put in park position. During these operations the brake related mechanical parts will move. Make sure to keep all personnel a safe distance away from the electric parking brake working area. By selecting this function the instrument will open the cylinders to allow replacement of the brake pads which would be otherwise clamped up tight. After selecting the vehicle, enable the "EPB cylinder opening" function and follow the displayed messages carrying out the indicated operations. You will hear the EPB mechanical parts moving and some warning lights may blink in the cabin to indicate the opening operation in progress. As cylinders open the electric brake is released, so pay utmost attention to the vehicle position, and the safety of all nearby personnel. In case of system faults it may not be possible to activate the function correctly, these 12.2. Cylinder closure for vehicles equipped with EPB Once the brake pads have been replaced it is necessary to go back to the standard electric parking brake operation. During these operations the brake related mechanical parts will move. Make sure to keep all personnel a safe distance away from the electric parking brake working area. After selecting the vehicle, enable the "EPB cylinder closing" function and follow the displayed messages carrying out the indicated operations. You will hear the EPB mechanical parts moving and some warning lights may blink in the cabin to indicate the closing operation in progress. For some vehicles after replacing the brake pads it is necessary to adjust the electric parking brake tightening torque as described in the following paragraph. This operation is compulsory on vehicles provided with it, otherwise the electric parking brake may not operate correctly. 12.3. Tightening torque adjustment for vehicles equipped with EPB During these operations the brake related mechanical parts will move. Make sure to keep all personnel a safe distance away from the electric parking brake working area. As the cylinders open the electric brake is released, so be careful regarding involuntary vehicle movement and the possibility of incidents as a result; always conduct these operations on flat level ground or take precautions to stop involuntary vehicle movement. After selecting the vehicle, then select the "EPB tightening torque adj." function and follow the displayed messages carrying out the indicated operations. You will hear the EPB mechanic parts moving and some warning lights may blink in the cabin to indicate the opening operation in progress. 8 9
This operation is compulsory on vehicles provided with EPB it compensates for routine wear in the brake components; otherwise the electric parking brake may not operate correctly. The tightening torque adjustment is useful also in case of worn pads/discs that do not need to be replaced. 12.4. Electric parking brake disabling for vehicles equipped with EPB Make sure the vehicle is on level ground, so not liable to involuntary roll away. Always engage a gear, or in case of automatic transmission put in park position. For some vehicles it is not necessary to open the cylinders to replace the brake pads. Despite this, it is important to disable the system to avoid a brake accidental activation (e.g. door opening, brake activation, etc.) while working near it. After selecting the vehicle, enable the "EPB disabling" function and follow the displayed messages carrying out the indicated operations. You will hear the EPB mechanical parts moving and some warning lights may blink in the cabin to indicate the opening operation in progress. As cylinders open the electric brake is released, so pay utmost attention to the vehicle position. 12.5. Electric parking brake enabling for vehicles equipped with EPB Once the brake pads have been replaced it is necessary to go back to the standard electric parking brake operation. After selecting the vehicle, activate the "EPB enabling" function and follow the displayed messages by carrying out the indicated operations.
