Hi, does anybody know the correct procedure for testing the EPB on a 4x4 2012 Chevrolet Captiva? I'm persuming it'll be the usual method, so using non-ATL RBT, vehicle in neutral, engine off, ignition on, run each roller singularly, and pull the EPB switch. But I thought it'd be best to check first.

There should be no problem testing the park brake in the rollers running both rollers running together or single,engine off -ignition on.
I can't confirm regards testing the service brake in the rollers so I would advise deceloromter for service brake and rollers for the park brake.
Unless you can tell us otherwise would be helpful after you've tested it

I might not be the best,but i was always in the top one

I usually stick to the decelerometer for the service brake, but will have a look next week when its booked in.

Engine off, ignition on petegroover. You just have to switch off ESP too on some vehicles like citroen's.

Typically after been organised and asking about the epb in advance, the vehicle didn't turn up for its MOT. But thanks for the help anyway nitros44.

most modern 4x4 use solenoid operated thorsen/viscous couplings or similar instead of an old solid state transfer box.ignition off=no 4x4 on a lot of em.
