How to change rear brake pads with electric park brake using no scanner tools

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

To replace rear brake pads on a car with EPB you need to electrically wind back the calipers with a scan tool. Here I will show you how to do this yourself without using expensive scanners. This only applies to cars with the motors on the calipers.

    Just to clear up some confusion. I have had a lot of questions regarding putting the epb into service mode. Basically, all you need to do is make sure the brake will not come on half way through the job. It is unlikely but you never know. Best way is to disconnect the epb motors on the calipers. Make sure they are plugged back in before turning the ignition on or pulling the switch to avoid any fault codes.

    hi mate i have a skoda superb and need to change the rear pads. do i HAVE to put it into service mode, or can i just leave the car running, turn the park brake off, then take off the motor and then disconnect the wires then do the work, then do the reverse of it all to put it back on?

    Saving this tutorial brother... My wife took her 2020 Mini Cooper to a shop and they wanted to charge us $1000 for brake pads and rotors I brought it home and checked the rotors nothing wrong with them and pulled the caliper off the back and the damn rear pads are still good I replaced the front pads for $65 and I just wanted to know what I was getting into to get that caliper on the rear done whenever the rear ones do go out I really appreciate it brother...this video is a $$$$$ saver!!!!

I can really only say one good thing about electric parking brakes.. there's many parking pawls finally leading a long stressless relaxed long life, with associated auto tranny bits all lasting longer cuz it ceased to mix broken off chunks from time to time from Walmart parking lot bumps. Do you guys have Wal-Mart's? I guess not..but you'll have similar probably. Although you probably have far few bump stops than we do cuz you guys are generally more disciplined and skilled than here. I've given up trying to get friends and family to use the dang parking brake on hills and everywhere to save the tranny. Only 1 ex-girlfriend actually adopted the habit and still does it to this day..bless her soul.. Come to think of it, she still blows the cold off her evaporator 1 minute out before parking too..a fine fine woman. 👍🙏

Undone the caliper and took off the motor same as you, but I also disconnected the cable to the motor to stop it coming on half way through the job. Once done put it all back together, no faults on the dash and all worked well.

    Hey Kurt! I'm about to do the same on my 2019 3008 SUV, most videos are for the older MPV style 3008 and it seems the EPB is different and you shouldn't use a piston kit alone to push back the piston (as seen on the older car) but you should have it un-done either via the motor's socket or via the method you describe. So essentially, on the newer car, there is no need to really use a piston kit? you can simply push the piston back after it's wound-back with a screwdriver pushing the pad against it?

It's been a few months since I did it but what you're suggesting should most likely work. Good luck.

    I had my rear pads and disks replaced on KIA Sorento 2015, and EPB started showing on the dashboard. A week later, EPB completely blocked a parking brake, and the car had to be towed to a mechanic, who said that changing rear brakes and disks is not related to EPB. Now I am waiting for maybe the worst news that the EPB module has failed and needs to be replaced..... any advice, please? Thank you

    Is there not a risk then of having the piston in a random position with respect to the zero position of the motor ?

  • @pistonbroke

    The motor either has a torque sensor or a current sensor so the ecu knows when it's on or off regardless of the piston position.

    Before putting the motor back on, you should have would it back counter-clockwise until it bottoms out against the back of the piston so the computer does not know what happened

    Lastly when rewinding caliper back with the t45 torx on the rear . Are you just pushing the caliper from the front? No need for a wind tool?

    Yeah, push the piston, don't wind it. You can wind the torx till it stops then squeeze the piston back, you don't need to wind and squeeze at the same time.

    You've just got to make sure the park brake doesn't come on part way through the job. It's unlikely but it could happen. Did you connect the motors before turning the ignition on? Did you pull the switch before pumping the brake? You need to pump the brake first, then pull the switch and make sure the motors are refitted correctly and connected before turning the ignition on. The car used in this video is a Renault, I forget which model though. I've been doing it this way for years with no problems at all.

    I wouldn't. You need to put it in a service mode to prevent it coming on. Last thing you need is the ecu put the brake on half way through the job.
