2015-2021 Lexus NX200t NX300h EPB Release - Rear Brake Service Mode, No Scan Tool Or Battery Needed
Master Technician Viktor G shows the DIY how-to procedure.
Please note that no matter how you retract the rear parking brake piston screw (using the procedure in the videos, using a 12 battery to supply power directly to the EPM motor, using the factory computer or mechanically winding it back using a Torx bit after unbolting the motor), there is a small chance of setting a fault code for the brake system. If the fault code is set, it would have to be cleared with a good quality scan tool.

Thank you for the suggestion. I don’t have an NX to work on at the moment, so it might take some time until I can make that video.

Great video…much better option if you don’t have tech stream than doing the 9V battery.

Hey. Great video. If the fault code for the brake system is triggered, what scan tool would we need? A bidirectional one or just any scan tool that can read and clear codes? for example will an ANCEL AD310 or bluedriver work to clear the code or do we need a expensive bidirectional scanner? thanks

Hi, there are so many scanners out there and they all have varying capabilities. I’d recommend to contact the scan tool manufacturer or read its owner’s manual for details on what it can do.
It worked. Only in my 2017 NX it is literally 2 words *BRAKE* and *PARK* and not the *P* sign

@@Viktor_G_AutomotiveBTW, I still needed to remove the electric brake motor because to take out top bolt you need a skinny wrench/socket. Full removal not needed but you must turn it few degrees. Craftsman 14mm wrench wouldn't go in. Another interesting thing, caliper bolts had thread lock. But in Highlander there is no thread lock.
Hi Viktor, thanks for the great videos! A few requests not related to breaks system but about nx - any tips or tricks how to improve windshield, side doors windows and side mirriors visibility during rain? even during a small rian, my side windows and mirrors are full of drops so I can hardly see anything. Replacing wiper inserts helped a lot with my windshield. My dealers offers aquapel treatment but I would like to know your opinion on the matter. May be an idea for the next video? :) Again, thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge!

Thanks! You could try Rain-X, dealerships offer various treatments, but I really don’t know if the effectiveness justifies the price.
Hello Viktor! The videos you make are very good! Thank You! Maybe you can help me? My handbrake nx300h 2015 makes a loud, screeching sound when in use. What could be done with it?
@Viktor_G_Automotive

I haven’t seen that problem before. Maybe the ebrake motor is damaged or worn out. Maybe the caliper itself is faulty. Determine which side it is coming from and start methodically inspecting to determine the cause.
Hi this video is also for Europe?Or how can I calibrate the rear brakes on Lexus NX 300h AWD year 2017.I changed the pads and the handbrake works ok.But the pads are very little stuck to the disc.At 50 km distance the back discs get hot.Thank you

Hi, unfortunately I don’t have access to European market vehicle information. There is no adjustment for the parking brake, it is automatic. Possibly something was assembled incorrectly.
T hank you chief. does the procedure work on 2018 NX 300? Thank you

Hi Joe, yes, it works on all 15-21 NX models. Cheers!
Is this what allows you to simply compress the caliper piston without having to “wind” it?
@Viktor_G_Automotive

That is correct.
I got done but don’t hear it winding back and I have the park written not the p sign

Hi Viktor, i managed to get myself into maintenance mode and heard the breaks turning out. I can’t do the second part. Getting out of maintenance mode. I get a “electronic parking brake malfunction” on the dash.

Hi, you would need to scan it for fault codes with a scan tool and clear them or diagnose as required. Sometimes the procedure can set a fault code, even if you do everything correctly, but usually it would happen if some step was missed. I mention that in the description below the video.
