Brakes stuck in service mode!

Right foot only!

I have read somewhere on the forum, that the activated parking sensors can prevent the parking brake to come out of service mode. Try turning off the parking sensor - left side of the steering wheel ( may need to turn off Park Sense in the Driver Assistance Menu) and then cycle thru the Brake Service Mode again. Another option park the car away from any obstacles so the park sensors don't activate and cycle the Brake Service Mode.

Tried all of those options, no joy unfortunately, the next step is to get my hands dirty and inspect the brake calipers.

Do you still have the warning light for the parking brake?
You may need to get Multiecuscan and a compatible OBD reader. It will probably show you any fault codes for the parking brake. The brake service mode can be turned on and off via Multiecuscan.

Checked the calipers today, all clear and wound back the pistons, still no joy on resetting the parking brake, guess its going to be a visit to the dealer

What was the diagnostic on the brakes?
