Customer statement / workshop findings: The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) control unit cannot be coded when using a diagnostic machine with Windows 10 in conjunction with a VAS 6154 dongle. Technical background: Should Windows 7 and/or VAS 5054 no longer be available the retailer must conduct the following: - Raise a technical DISS query stating the EPB control unit cannot be coded as access to a diagnostic machine with Windows 7 and a VAS 5054 dongle is no longer possible - Await a response via DISS regarding all applicable next steps. Do Not raise a DISS if the operative has access to a diagnostic tester with Windows 7 and a VAS 5054 dongle as the EPB control unit can be coded by the operative without raising a DISS query.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240551-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240551-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10240551","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null},{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"parking-brake","name":"Parking brake","parent":"brakes"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL GT","year_from":2004,"year_to":2013,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2004_bentley_continental","2005_bentley_continental","2006_bentley_continental","2007_bentley_continental","2008_bentley_continental","2009_bentley_continental","2010_bentley_continental","2011_bentley_continental","2012_bentley_continental","2013_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL GT CABRIO","year_from":2013,"year_to":2015,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2013_bentley_continental","2014_bentley_continental","2015_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"FLYING SPUR","year_from":2014,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_bentley_flying-spur","2015_bentley_flying-spur"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
