Service procedures

EPB - Enter Service Mode

Starts or stops Service Mode on either one or both Electronic Parking Brakes (EPB). Service Mode fully retracts the caliper piston. For this routine to run successfully, the brake pedal must be pressed to enter Service Mode. To stop EPB Service Mode, run this routine again with STOP input or manually apply the Parking brake in the Control Safety settings. Brake Pedal must be pressed.
