Coding

Note: When replacing this Parking Brake Control Module it is necessary to save a complete Auto-Scan before repairs. The ABS Module coding will be lost when the Parking Brake Module is replaced and you you MUST have a record of the existing coding or you won't be able re-code the ABS module!

  • 0000057 = Parking Brake with Auto-Hold (Rest of World / PR-UH2)

Basic Setting

Caution!

  • Do not perform any of these Basic Settings while the brakes are disassembled! Opening, closing, function tests, and otherwise cycling the Electronic Parking brakes should only be done with the pads and calipers properly installed on the rotors.
  • Please follow the procedures EXACTLY. There's a reason for every step. If you skip any prerequisites or other steps here, you are likely to experience "issues" for which no documented resolutions exist, in which case we will not be able to help you resolve them.
