Activate and initiate!

8 August 2012  

An electronic parking brake tool has been introduced by Laser Tools to help when servicing the systems on a large range of VAG and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. When plugged into the EOBD socket, the EPB tool retracts the caliper pistons, allowing the pads to be removed and replaced. The calipers can then moved back to the original position, wear indicators can be initialised and the pad thickness can be entered. On Audi A6 and A8 models, the tilt angle can be recalibrated if needed. It is also useful when fitting new park brake motors, calipers, discs and wheel hubs.

The SBS system on covered Mercedes-Benz models can be activated/deactivated and error codes can be cleared.
