● Per fo rm brake cable replacement and electric parki ng br ake replacem ent – allows to fit
in or remove the brake cable s afely, adjust brake cable’s tension and calibrate the electric
parking brake replacement.
● Save and write clutch pedal programming on Renault EPB vehicles – allows to save
clutch pedal programming on Renault vehicles fitted with manual gearbox. After this
command is activated, the tool allows to "flash" the electric parking brake unit with the saved
clutch data.
● Perform control function and reset function on Opel EPB vehicles – allows to
apply/release park brake cable service, provide park brake cable service replacement
procedures and calibrate the parking brake systems after brake service.
● Sensor calibration on Honda EPB vehicles – allows to program the current output value of
each sensor into the electric parking brake unit.
● Provides parking brake unjam procedure and perform longitudinal accelerometer
calibration on Land Rover E PB vehicles – allows to drive the electronic park brake so it is
unjamed in the releasing direction and then drive it into mounting position or the latching
position; also allows to perform longitudinal accelerom eter cali brat i on.
● EPB systems must be deactivated before carrying out any maintenance/service work on the
brakes such as changing of pads, discs and calipers.
● Use proper tools to avoid the risk of body injuries of mechanics and technicians and damage
to the brake system.
● Make sure the vehicle is properly blocked after deactivation of the systems.

called ‘Service $xx’. Below is a list of OBD diagnostic services:
● Service $01 - request current powertrain diagnostic data
● Service $02 - request powertrain freeze frame data
● Service $03 - request emission-related diagnostic trouble codes
● Service $04 - clear/reset emission-related diagnos t ic inf orm ation
● Service $05 - request oxygen sensor monitoring test results
● Service $06 - request on-board monitoring test results for specific monitored systems
● Service $07 - request emission-related diagnostic trouble codes detected duri ng current or
last completed driving cycle
● Service $08 - request control of on-board system, test or component
● Service $09 - request Vehicle Information

● System Sta tu s
● Read Codes
● Freeze Frame Data
● Erase Codes
● Live Data
● I/M Readiness
● O2 Sensor Test
● On-board Monitor Test
● Component Test
● Vehicle Information
● Modules Present
● Code Lookup
NOTE
Not all function options listed above are applicable to all vehicles. Available options may vary by
the year, model, and make of the test vehicle. A “The selected mode is not supported!” message
displays if the option is not applicable to the vehicle under test.

5.2 Read Codes
Read Codes menu lets you read both stored codes and pending codes found in the control unit.
Typical menu options include:
● Stored Codes
● Pending Codes
Diagnostic trouble codes stored in a control module are used to help identify the cause of a
trouble or troubles with a vehicle. These codes have occurred a specific number of times and
indicate a problem that requires repair.
Pending codes are also referred to as maturing codes that indicate intermittent faults. If the fault
does not occur within a certain number of drive cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears
from memory. If a fault occurs a specific number of times, the code matures into a DTC and the
MIL illuminates or blinks.
To read codes/pending codes from a vehicle:
1. Scroll with the arrow keys to highlight Read Codes from Diagnostic Menu and press the
ENTER key.
Figure 5-3 Sample Diagnostic Menu Screen
2. Select Stored Codes/Pending Codes and press the ENTER key to confirm. A code list
including code number and its description displays.
