Coding

Important Note: Coding may zero after mechanical repairs to the rear brakes! We believe this the end result of a significant Air Gap discrepancy between specified and the actual adjustment of the parking brake shoes. Saving a complete Auto-Scan BEFORE any rear brake repairs is critical.

Coding for this Control Module is normally done via Software Version Management (SVM). If the old Control Module is still accessible read/copy it's Coding to the new Module. If this is not possible each coding inquiry has to be configured per vehicle based on the complete Auto-Scan and vehicle repair history. Registered Customers can email directly with each request.

The Security Access code for Coding Enabling will appear in a pop-up balloon when connected to this module with VCDS.

Rear Brake Pad and Rotor replacement

Due to the conventional nature of the hydraulic rear calipers and brake pads, diagnostic steps are not technically necessary to replace the pads or rotors but we strongly advise the following:

• Run and Save a complete Auto-Scan before any repairs!
• Add the following Advanced Measuring Value data to a log with the EPB released:
  • IDE04435-MAS01849 Air gap-Left
  • IDE04435-MAS01850 Air gap-Right
  • IDE05272-MAS01849 Air gap before calibration-Left
  • IDE05272-MAS01850 Air gap before calibration-Right
    

After rear brake pad or rotor replacement the Air Gap needs to be checked, and adjusted if necessary, using the specifications found in the factory level repair manual. The before and after Advanced Measuring Value data can be used while following the repair manual steps.

If the 53-Parking Brake control module lost (zeroed) coding the original condition Auto-Scan can be used to re-code the module back to the factory condition.

Output Tests

We do not have a detailed plain text Output Tests Grind-In procedure to offer after mechanical repairs to this Electro-Mechanical Parking Brake (EPB) system at this time but this video demonstrates the procedure:

Replacement

After Replacing this Control Module these Steps have to be performed in the following Order:

• Code Parking Brake Electronics (J104) Control Module
• Delete Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Air Gap Adjustment
• Function Test

In case you are having trouble with procedure please contact us directly and we will assist you with the Coding Process. Every inquiry on this topic has to include a full Auto-Scan as well as which parts have been replaced and why, also make sure the Auto-Scan includes the complete VIN of the vehicle in question.
