How to Retract the Electronic Parking Brake Caliper?
1 Answers
To retract the electronic parking brake caliper, a diagnostic scanner is required. Before replacing the rear brake pads on an electronic parking brake system, the rear caliper piston must be retracted using a decoder to allow the caliper removal for pad replacement. For vehicle brake adjustment, input group number 007 to activate the caliper. When replacing brake pads, input group number 006 for reset, and the electronic parking brake button must be pressed. The electronic parking brake is a technology that electronically controls parking braking. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake—both achieve parking brake control through friction generated between the brake disc and pads. The only difference is that the control method has shifted from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
