EPB Service with Autel AP200

[jobbins50]

I picked up an Autel AP200, with the intention of putting the rear parking brake into service mode, to change the rear pads. Downloaded the IOS app, plugged into OBD port, connected, did the bind process, and selected "Acura" as my free of charge model (it makes you download a separate IOS app for the diagnostic services).

The issue I run into is that when I try to select the Acura model, the Integra is not listed at all.
See screenshots. It lists various Acura models, but no Type-S, not even a generic Integra is shown.
I even went to the Autel website to use their coverage lookup tool, no Integra.
Even if I choose one of their high end scanners/tools, it does not list Integra as an option.

Has anybody successfully used the AP200 on their ITS?
If so, what model did you choose within the tool menu.
Should I just choose a generic Acura model (MDX/TLX/iLX), and hope the EPB service command is generic, and will work?

Do they offer a selection for the FL5?

Civic SI. essentially looking for any model that has the electronic parking brake. I know my local mechanic had the same issue when using his expensive scanner. I think current Gen civic was the one he used.

All versions of the TLX going back to 2015 have the electronic parking brake. If you can’t switch from Acura to Honda I’d give that a whirl.

FYI - you do not need a reader to do the rear brakes. You can remove the electric motor with two bolts and wind the piston back manually with an E12 socket.

I just swapped my pads this week doing so and many others have as well.

You can pick the regular non-ITS integra, and go through it that way. Is the auto selection not picking up the vin #/car? If not it just might not have it yet and will have to wait for future update.

Update:
I tried using a TLX option and an RDX option.
Both worked, was able to enter the brake service menu.
Pads replaced successfully.

So in summary, the $60 AP200 can be used to enter EPD service mode for the rear brakes.
Don't panic if you don't see the ITS listed (or FL5 if you are going Honda).
Select any of the newer Acura models (RDX for example), and away you go.

@bisquick : Yes, i could have gone the manual route, pulled the e-motor off and wind in by hand. But for $60, I figured why not save myself some hassle.

@Integra23 : The FL5 did not show up on the Autel selection menu either (when using HONDA). But same deal, choose a generic model, and it will work.

@StingertimeNC : Correct.

@Gregg : Correct, generic EPB system, can be accessed by choosing modern acura/honda model.

How easy is it? What other tools do I need? I don’t mean to sound ignorant. I’m new to working on my own car and trying to do brakes. Can you explain in depth? To help the newbs
