Hi, i'm not quite sure what you mean by 'switch on basic settings'. I go into basic settings to run the function test after the pad thickness adaptation, maybe this is what you mean...

My understanding of the process is:

Connect charger.

Cycle epb on and off again.

Open epb fully in basic settings, group 007, wait 30 seconds then close controller.

Change pads, pump brakes when done to get everything snug

Close ebp fully in basic settings, group 006, wait 30 seconds then close controller.

Put in new pad thickness in adaptation, group 006.

Run function test in basic settings, group 010, ebp moves in and out 3 times, wait 30 seconds then close controller.

Ross tech says you may need to run the adaptation and function test a few times until you can clear the pads worn code. I've done it maybe 15 times now!

Other people are saying you need to then turn off ignition, lock steering, epb left off. Lock car and epb should move and calibrate itself. This last bit definitely doesn't happen on my car.
