Default Park Brake Fault - 05 Super V8

Hi

I replaced worn pads on EPB. My mistake is that I didn't check service manual and just simply replaced old pads with new, retracted pistons & reinstalled everything. Engine from EPB is running but once you put it in park it stuck every single time. To avoid unnecessary questions (I checked already all thread)
- Battery is in good shape it is not battery fault. Low voltage can give PBF
- I tried to recalibrate it how it is suggested in service manual. Didn't help.

Do I need to replace pistons cause I damaged it or do I need to go to dealer and maybe they can just connect it to computer and recalibrate system.
Right now I just simply disconnected lines that go from engine to pads so I could drive. Please advise.

Sounds like you have the Brembo brakes as you have a separate park brake caliper. I am not sure the service manual re-set instructions cover these calipers, can you confirm. If they do, it sounds like off-to-dealer time.
