Rear Brakes, EFM, and ODBii ?
Sorry, newbie question, maybe. I read a lot about using the ISTA program(s) to access the car via ODBii and ICOM tools and the procedures to replace rear brake pads with 'manual' removal and rewinding of the EFM (Parking Brake). However there are many videos and procedures on how to 'electronically' rewind the EFM (Parking Brake) via some "Diagnostic Tool". I have used two of these tools and they do not seem to have access to this 'maintenance' function, the latest being the Foxwell NT5200 Pro.
Is a 2011 535i xDrive excluded from the list of models that can have their EFM rewound electronically? Or am I missing something? Would setting up the Rheingold SW give me access to this reported function? I have already replaced my front pads and rotors and have a fair amount of car-repair experience. I was hoping to not have to take apart the EMF, and learn more on how to access the car's electronics through the OBDii. Thanks in advance. Allergen Update: I went ahead and performed the rear brake replacement. I had to manually remove the Electronic brake motor and rewind the cylinder by hand to complete the project, on each side. All is well, but I still would like feedback regarding my original question. Big thank you to all those who have posted useful posts and videos! You are a great help! |
