EPB DIY or FKD ?
EPB locked up with usual sound effects.Went through the usual routine , lever held down before key insert etc but it didn't help ( has before).I released it with the emergency cable.
Question is by using the cable release have I disposed of the option of resetting it myself ,using the methods described in a thread posted here a few weeks back
or
Is it a job for the professionals ?
Thanks.

After the emergency release cable has been used to release the parking brake, the next time an apply selection is made with the parking brake switch, the parking brake module automatically runs through a latching procedure to reconnect the spline shaft with the force sensor. The parking brake module turns the spline shaft so that it moves towards the force sensor. The pawl of the spline shaft then re-engages with the spigot of the force sensor. A second apply selection with the parking brake switch is required to apply the parking brake.

I think once it's been released, provided it hasn't actually broken anything, then you siould be able to adjust it & should set it back ok. If annythings stretched though, could be a different story.
