EPB yellow light but its not faulty

[charlie2008]

Hi


My EPB has a flashing yellow light and my autohold isn't working, the EPB works manually using the switch, i've had both wheels off the ground and are both working as they should.


This started when i accidentally pulled fuse 2, I did exact same thing a few years ago and spent 2 days going through forums and found some reset procedure but cant remember it.


From googling i've tried the "hold brake pedal 35 seconds, epb switch 10 seconds, start engine", "hold brake pedal cycle brakes with EPB twice" and the remove battery for 10 minutes fixes but they have no affect...


im sure it was something simple like this to fix it last time, i should have bookmarked it.


Thanks

It needs a fault code read, probably a faulty switch (control head).

This is the only fault code stored

Parking brake

Component: J540 EPB3 VW-13
Coding: 10000 (decimal)
Fault codes:
01042 Control Module Not Coded

To start with it needs recoding, if your car is serviced by a good garage they will have a copy of your previous scans stored on their server so the coding can be compared and restored.
