Electronic Parking Brake Issue - VCDS / OBD11
« on: 29 July 2026, 19:05 »
Hi Folks,

I’ve just replaced the drains and pads etc. on my 2013 mk7 GTi along with a new set of aftermarket rear calipers.
Using my free account OBD11 I put the EPB into service mode. Once I had completed the job I took it back out of device mode, however it has thrown a fault. I am currently getting fault C10E254 - stating No Basic Setting.

I’m assuming with the new calipers they need to be calibrated to suit? The EPB and Auto Hold are working as they should. I’m based in Dunfermline, Scotland and was hoping there might be someone local with VCDS that might be able to sort it out for me if that is the issue.

Many thanks

Did you use an "app" or via the menus?
Have you tried re running the start lining change mode, and end lining change mode again?

Thanks Rowlers,

I used the ‘apps’. Having finished and having the fault, I have ‘opened’ and ‘closed’ service mode a couple of times with no change to the fault.

When trying to go through the basic settings via the menus to start/end the lining change mode it’s asking me to upgrade to PRO. I’m happy to pay for it if need be, but as I haven’t need Pro for the 8 years I’ve had the car, if I can get around with a little help from someone it would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah you'll need Pro or VCDS then.
