2. INTRODUCTION
Essential tool for extinguishing the service indicator and resetting Electronic
Parking Brake on Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles. Simple push button
operation allows EPB cable to be released and re-attached and, in the event
that the emergency hand brake has been activated, allows the user to reset
the system, and clears codes that may have been generated as a result of the
emergency cable being pulled. It also allows the EPB to be un-jammed when
the vehicle has entered a state of brake screech when applying the parking
brake, where the rear brakes squeak or rub when the vehicle is moving or
there is evidence of shoe-drag. Powered by connection to the vehicle.
