The EPB reset feature helps you clear that annoying warning and reset your electronic parking brake after maintenance or pad replacement.
If the system isn’t reset, it can lead to brake malfunctions, causing your car to roll unexpectedly.
You might encounter error codes like P0571 or P0572, which indicate issues with the brake switch or the electronic control module.
