VAG Electronic Park Brake Tool

The new VAG EPB service tool has been designed to allow a safe environment to service braking systems on the newer vehicles in the VAG range. From simple caliper retraction on Passat to the more involved pad calibration required on the newer A8, the SP Diagnostics EPB reset tool will do the job. Tilt Angle calibration is required for vehicles with the Auto Hold parking brake control, this could be after crash damage or sensor replacement, calibration is required for the correct operation of this system.

Functions

Open Calipers - Retracts calipers to allow access to the pads and disks safely, also required when fitting a new caliper, park brake motor, wheel hub etc.
Close Calipers - After servicing the caliper can be returned to the correct poition.
Basic Setting - Cycles the braking system 3 times to allow correct movement and function to be checked.
Open Caliper With Pad Change - For the A8 the wear indicator is also reset by entering the pad thickness either after new or cleaned pads have been fitted to the vehicle.
Close Caliper With Pad Change - For the A8 the wear indicator reset is confirmed using this process.
Tilt Angle Calibration - For vehicles fitted with "Auto Hold" systems this sensor can be recalibrated after removal or replacement.
