Jaguar and Land Rover Electronic Brake Release |
Jaguar and Land Rover Electronic Park Brake Release 
The DA-Dongle connects directly to the vehicle OBDII (diagnostic) connector and is a stand-alone product that requires no other cables during operation. The device does not need to be used with IDS/SDD.
Once connected to the OBDII connector it will perform the Electronic Park Brake Release via diagnostic communication to the EPBR module. This will force the brake to move to its mount mode and effectively release the pads from the disc in readiness for replacement. In the case of Land Rover vehicles it will perform an un-jam function before moving to the mount position.
How does the DA-Dongle operate the EPBR process?
The DA-Dongle EPBR device is simple and easy to use
- Ensure the vehicle is not in a position to roll prior to exercising the following procedure.
- Connect the EPBR device to the vehicle OBDII connector (the device powers from the vehicle).
- The device enters trigger mode – flashing red/green status (STS) LED.
- The trigger is for the operator to switch on the vehicle ignition or run the engine.
- The application begins to run, this is shown by a green flashing Status (STS) LED.
- Once complete the status (STS) LED turns solid green and the device omits a constant high-pitched audible tone to ensure the operator removes the device from the vehicle.
- The task complete approximately within 10 Seconds.
- To restore the park brake to its normal operation the park brake switch should be turned on.
How does the DA-Dongle get updated for future Model Years and New Vehicles?
The DA-Dongle can be updated simply and easily by connecting the DA-Dongle to a laptop/PC via the USB cable that is provided with each DA-Dongle.
A PC software update application is available to download below. This application once downloaded and launched will be responsible for identifying what version of software is on the device, and whether a new version is available for update.
By connecting the device to the PC when the software update application is running, the application will read the device and connect over the internet to determine if an updated software is available and download this to the device if a newer version exists. This process takes approximately 3 minutes to complete. The device will then be updated and ready to be used on the vehicle.
