Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Brake test

General information
The drive is provided by the test rig.
For the test, ensure for vehicles with a manual gearbox that the gear lever is in neutral, and for vehicles with an automatic gearbox that the selector lever is in »N«.
When conducting the test, observe the specifications provided by the manufacturer of the test rig.
  Note
The brake regulation systems do not function when ignition is off.
   
Checking vehicles with front-wheel drive
The brake test must be carried out on a single-axle roller dynamometer.
The maximum test speed must not exceed 6 km/h.
The test rigs authorised by Volkswagen fulfil these requirements.
   
Checking electromechanical parking brake, vehicles with front-wheel drive
Activate »TЬV mode«:
Seat belt is fitted
Rear axle on single-axle roller dynamometer
Ignition remains switched on
Auto-hold is switched off
Front wheels must be stationary
Rear wheels must rotate for at least 5 seconds at a constant speed between 2.5 and 9 km/h.
When entering »TЬV mode«, the yellow electric parking brake and handbrake fault warning lamp -K214- will light up.
  Note
In »TЬV mode«, the electromechanical parking brake does not close fully when the button is first pressed.
The tension is increased gradually by actuating the electromechanical parking brake button -E538- 4 times in succession.
Actuating the electromechanical parking brake button -E538- a fifth time releases the electromechanical parking brake.
