Where is the electronic parking brake module of the Tiguan located?
2 Answers
The electronic parking brake module of the Tiguan is located inside the area below the left side of the steering wheel. Here are some details about the Tiguan: 1. Tiguan Overview: The Tiguan is an SUV model equipped with standard ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and ASR traction control. Some less common features like EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, auto hold function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring system are also standard configurations. Front dual airbags and front side airbags ensure passenger safety, and the standard child safety lock emphasizes the safety of children. 2. Handling: It offers a broad field of vision, light and precise steering, and smooth gear shifting. The chassis is solid and stable with firm suspension; however, the initial part of the brake pedal travel is somewhat soft, and the thick A-pillars slightly obstruct the view when turning. 3. Space: The interior provides ample space, with the extended wheelbase offering good legroom. The only drawback is the slightly limited trunk capacity, but overall, it is quite suitable for family use.
I've been repairing cars for 20 years and know the Volkswagen Tiguan inside out. The electronic parking brake module is usually hidden under the center armrest or behind the gear shift cover, specifically positioned near the driver's side and connected to the brake control unit for convenient wiring routing. This area is designed to be compact and hard to access. If the module malfunctions, such as unresponsive buttons or strange noises, never attempt to disassemble it yourself. The module contains sensors and motors, and rough handling could cause short circuits or damage other circuits. Based on my experience, when a fault is detected, first use an OBD scanner to read the error codes for confirmation, then leave it to the 4S shop for professional handling. During routine maintenance, ensure the area stays dry to prolong its lifespan. I recommend car owners have technicians periodically check the module's condition to ensure driving safety.
