How an EPB Release Tool Works
The core working principle of an EPB Release Tool is to bypass the vehicle’s electronic control system and directly provide a controllable power supply to the electronic handbrake actuator motor.
By simulating the release command from the control module, the tool drives the actuator motor in reverse so the parking brake can be released. This helps technicians move the vehicle or service the brake system without forcing the caliper or damaging the motor assembly.
Bypasses ECU Failure
It can operate when the normal electronic control path cannot release the parking brake.
Controls the Actuator Motor
The tool provides controlled power to the electronic handbrake actuator motor.
Simulates Release Command
It reverses the motor action to release the electronic parking brake.
Protects Brake Components
It reduces the need for forced disassembly that may damage gears, pistons, or brake sub-pump components.
Why Choose the AUTOOL BT10 EPB Release Tool?
The AUTOOL BT10 is designed for electronic handbrake troubleshooting, workshop maintenance, vehicle movement, and road rescue. It helps technicians release or apply an electronic parking brake quickly when a vehicle cannot respond through its normal control system.
Multiple Application Scenarios
BT10 can be used for electronic handbrake troubleshooting, workshop maintenance, car moving, road rescue, and other service situations.
Dual-Channel Forward and Reverse Control
The dual-channel forward and reverse function allows one-key operation for releasing or braking the electronic handbrake.
Useful for Towing and Repair
When a car needs to be towed after an unexpected accident, or when the brake system is being repaired, BT10 helps release the brake efficiently.
Multi-Circuit Protection
Reverse polarity protection helps prevent equipment damage if the connection is reversed by mistake.
Automatic Self-Test
After power-on, the automatic system self-test and green indicator help show the current working status clearly.
5A Fast-Blow Fuse
The built-in 5A fast-blow fuse can cut off the circuit during over-current conditions to help protect the motor and brake sub-pump.

How BT10 Helps |
| Electronic handbrake troubleshooting | The EPB locks due to sensor, control module, motor, wiring, or circuit failure. | Releases the brake to support maintenance and troubleshooting. |
| Emergency roadside assistance | The electronic brake locks after an unexpected accident and the vehicle needs to be moved. | Releases the brake so the vehicle can be towed or moved more easily. |
| 4S shop or repair shop vehicle movement | The vehicle locks because of an electronic handbrake power or circuit failure. | Helps avoid damage caused by forcibly moving the vehicle. |
| Brake caliper service | The technician needs to service brake calipers or rear brake pads. | Releases the brakes to reduce the risk of motor and brake sub-cylinder damage. |
