de-active the electronic parking brake

[peteryspang]

Hi, understand that, for the golf mk7 with electronic parking brake. we need to de-active it before remove the caliper. Do we still need to keep connected the battery with battery charger as well at the same time ?

Yeap, don't see any reason why you should remove the battery

It's not perfectly clear but it seems to say you leave the battery charger connected until you're done? Does it say reconnect it, or, is it still connected? I would email Ross-tech for clarification of their warning box.

I did read VCDS Ross-tech information, they mentioned, before de-active the parking brake.
"Connect a battery charger as per repair manual."

Since the battery still connected in car, Does it means, I need to install the battery charger even I didn't remove the battery from car.

After putting the parking brake into service mode, I normally unplug VCDS and turn the car off. Then I'll do the work, turn the car back on and use VCDS to re-initialize the parking brake.

They want you to put a battery charger on because they are expecting you to keep VCDS plugged in and the car on while you work, I guess.
