  • Scan/service tool for Grand Sport

    Anyone found/got a hand held scan tool that will retract the parking brake on a Grand Sport?

    There are a few on the market (Autel Maxicheck etc) but don't know if any will do the EPB for new Vauxhalls.

    Will need to upgrade my old code reader now they have electric calipers.

            Can the h/brake be put into 'service' mode like the electronic h/brake on previous Insignia's?

                Insignia A was a cable onto caliper, GS has electric motor built into caliper

                  If there is no definitive yes/no I will get it connected to my car and see what it says anything to confirm.

                    Did you get a chance to try it on handbrake ilunn?. Could do with cleani g up brakes before winter sets in.

                      Yes it give me the option to test the actuator forcing park brake on and off. sound like just the one actuator doing both sides so possibly not work with dual actuators unless the scanner changes functions after detecting what car has connected to.
