Activate the electric parking brake in the Audi A4 in service mode

Good day, I own a 2012 Audi A4 with a diesel engine and 200,000 km mileage. I'm having problems with the electric handbrake, which isn't working. I want to put the electric parking brake into service mode to change the brake pads. Can someone explain how I can do that? Thank you very much in advance for your help! Sincerely.

To put the electric parking brake into service mode on your 2012 Audi A4, you will need a diagnostic tool that supports this function, such as VCDS or a similar OBD-II scanner. Connect the tool to your car, navigate to the parking brake module, and follow the instructions to enter service mode. If you don't have access to such a tool, consider visiting a professional mechanic. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any questions!
