AUTOOL BT10 EPB Emergency Release and Reset Tool | Roadside Rescue Tool

The AUTOOL BT10 EPB Release Tool is a compact 12V handheld tool that drives the electronic parking brake motor directly, so you can release or engage the rear calipers whenever the vehicle's own EPB system won't. Whether a car has come in on a flatbed with the parking brake locked on, an EPB control module has failed, or you simply need to wind back the rear pistons for a pad change without hooking up a scan tool, the BT10 gets the brake open with a single press.
Electronic parking brakes are now fitted to the majority of new vehicles, and when they fail the car is going nowhere - it can't be pushed, towed on a dolly or moved out of a bay without dragging the rear wheels. The BT10 was built for exactly that situation. It runs off the vehicle battery or any 10-14V DC source, connects to the caliper motor via the supplied EPB terminal lead, and uses dual-channel forward/reverse motor control to retract or apply the caliper on demand.
Safety is built in. A power-on self-check with a green status light confirms the tool is ready, reverse-polarity protection guards against incorrect battery hook-ups, and a built-in 5A fast-blow fuse cuts the circuit instantly on overcurrent to protect both the tool and the caliper motor. An automatic 1-second cut-off prevents the motor from being over-driven.
Perfect for:
- Roadside rescue and towing - release a locked EPB after an accident or breakdown so the vehicle can be winched or towed without damaging the tyres or drivetrain.
- EPB fault-finding - release the brake quickly while you inspect the handbrake motor, sensors, switch or wiring.
- Workshops and dealerships - move vehicles that have locked their parking brake due to a flat battery, blown fuse or module failure.
- Brake service - retract the rear calipers for pad or disc replacement without a diagnostic tool.
Features
- One-button release and engage - rocker switch selects forward (release) or reverse (engage); no scanner, laptop or software needed.
- Dual-channel forward/reverse motor control - drives the EPB caliper motor in either direction.
- Universal 12V operation - works from DC 10-14V; clip the supplied battery clamps to the vehicle battery or a jump pack.
- Multiple circuit protections - reverse-polarity protection, overcurrent protection and a replaceable 5A fast-blow fuse.
- Automatic 1-second cut-off - prevents overload and protects the caliper motor.
- Power-on self-check - green indicator confirms correct connection and tool status before you operate.
- Compact and rugged - 102 × 55 mm main unit fits in a toolbox or glovebox; ideal for tow trucks and mobile mechanics.

Important notes
- The BT10 is an emergency release/service tool - it is not a permanent repair for a faulty EPB system.
- Switch the ignition off and do not run the engine while the tool is connected.
- Always confirm the fuse is intact and the polarity is correct before use. Stop immediately if the motor rotates in the opposite direction to what you selected.
- Keep away from moisture, heat, and oil.
