FastCheck36Ford – Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) systemTwo Electronic Parking Brake systems are currently supported on the service tool:Ford Focus C-Max 2003 - present:There are two test functions available under the calibration section of the EPB menuthese are described below.Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) calibration function testChecks the EPB is working correctly. This test should be performed after work hasbeen completed on the EPB or vehicles braking system.The test removes any air gap from the brake pads and checks the EPB pressure.Pre-Test conditions:• The vehicle must be stationary• The vehicle must be on level ground• The brake fluid level is correctThe operator will be asked to perform a number of actions before applying the EPB.The service tool reads and displays the EPB pressure. With the EPB applied the EPBpressure should be approximately 1100 Newtons.The operator will then be asked to unlock/release the EPB. The service tool reads anddisplays the EPB pressure. With the EPB released the EPB pressure should be 0Newtons.If either of the above tests fail (pressure reading not correct) the EPB assembly shouldbe removed and re-assembled.Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) emergency release calibrationChecks the EPB emergency release is working correctly. This test should beperformed after work has been completed on the EPB or vehicles braking system.Pre-test conditions:• The vehicle must be stationary• The vehicle must be on level ground• The brake fluid level is correctThe operator will be asked to perform a number of actions before applying the EPB.The service tool reads and displays the EPB pressure. With the EPB applied the EPBpressure should be approximately 1100 Newtons.The operator will then be prompted to pull manually on the emergency release. Theservice tool reads and displays the EPB pressure. With the emergency releaseactivated the EPB pressure should be 0 Newtons and the vehicle should be able tomove freely.If either of the above tests fail then the EPB assembly should be inspected andrepaired as described by the manufacturer’s instructions.
