Astra Electric parking brake

[BZone1]

The spanner light is an indication that fault codes are present and need to be read, diagnosed and rectified. A suitable code reader is needed such as Opcom.

Thanks I'll find out but the mechanic i took it to is a Vauxhall specialist and on his computer it told him the parking brake switch is faulty..

Electronic Parking Brake Control Module

Note: Verify the rear brakes are clear of any obstacles before starting the calibration procedure. During the procedure the rear brakes will cycle several times, stay clear of all moving parts until the process is complete.

Perform the Parking Brake Calibration procedure in Module Setup.

Calibration without Scan Tool

1.Ignition ON, apply and hold the brake pedal.
2.Push and hold the electric parking brake switch down for 5-6 seconds.
3.Release the electric parking brake switch.
4.Momentarily push the electric parking brake switch down.
5.Remove the EPB MODULE fuse and reinstall. (Engine fuse-board fuse 29 30A K83 Parking Brake Control Module (J71))
6.Apply the electric parking brake.
7.Release the electric parking brake

If this fails please as I stated before get the fault codes read and let us know what they are.

Thanks will try this later and I will be going back to mechanic and will let you guys know what error codes come up on his computer.
