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!!!!
After watching two other people replacing an ordinary handbrake operated calliper and they were total rubbish, it was great to see a pro doing the job properly on and electrically operated handbrake calliper. Thank you for posting this.
Piston Broke Garage sir - I must offer you my most sincere thanks for offering this video with it's extremely useful information. After viewing it, I was able to push the pistons back into calipers (rear) on a 2020 Nissan Rogue. You saved me much time, expense and frustration. If ever you find yourself in Canada( London ON), please send me a notification on TH-cam. The cold pints will be on me. Thank you again. Cheers.
Very useful I had air behind the boot also. I had allowed the piston to come too far forward, what a fiddle that was. Various vids I’d seen appeared to turn the piston back in, but your straight push tool was my break through. Thank you!
This is applicable for those electrical park brake system whose connector has only two wire connection for the motor. If there are more than two wires that means it has sensor should not recommend this then. 👍🏻 tutorial is great
Release handbrake and turn it off. Some cars will apply the brake again when you turn the ignition off, this is when you'll need to put it in service mode so that it stays off.
Thank you Pistonbroke for explaining how this system works. People might wonder the reason for electric parking brakes. Old cable operated systems rusted and stopped working after a certain point, also the cables, linkage, pedal and separate set of brake pads/shoes added to the weight of the vehicle.
I like the tool you used to compress the piston, I have a similar one but it's not air compressed like yours. May I ask where you purchased yours from?
Just got told by Mitsubishi a scan tool was definitely needed to do this ... I was thinking there is always a back door....and here it is in the video.....great explanation !!!!
Cool video! Next week I'm going to change my Grandland. I have a question, how do I put it into service mode? I realized that Grandland was also in the video. I will be grateful for your answer.
It wasn't a Grandland, it was a Renault something or other, I can't remember! You just need to make sure the park brake is off and stays off while you're doing the job.
@@pistonbroke Everything looks exactly like on my Grandland. Thanks for the video and answer! I live in Cumnock, if there are any problems in our area, write. Good luck!
Did a very similar job on Peugeot 3008 SUV. I put the ignition on, took of the electronic park brake but left the gearbox in P. 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?
@@Idontwantausernamist I think you can wind out the back of caliper and then use a caliper tool to push the piston, or do them both at the same time so the piston goes down as you're winding it out on the back? It's been a few months since I did it but what you're suggesting should most likely work. Good luck.
Very useful thanks - I’d add to remove the slider pins, they just pull out by hand, clean them, check the little gaiters for damage, grease with brake slider grease (not normal grease as it knackers the rubber) and refit. Saves stuck pins and wear.
Great tutorial thanks. Have heard that if the car is fitted with ABS that the bleed valve should be opened during compression of the brake piston to stop posible contamination going into the sensors. Was wondering if you can confirm? Many thanks
All cars nowadays are fitted with ABS. I've never undone a bleed nipple to push the pistons back, nor have I heard that it should be done. Sounds like bs to me, if there is contamination in the caliper then it would have already passed through the ABS unit to get to the caliper.
@@argonaut6386 you don't need to. Haynes also states to replace all brake caliper and master cylinder seals and flexible hoses at certain intervals too.
@@pistonbroke Haynes only copy what is in Vauxhall/ Opel's actual workshop manuals. So if GM say such and such has to be changed at certain mileage then Haynes will say the same. Most of the time they even reproduce the genuine manuals line drawings. They certainly do that on the LandRover manuals I have, along with the genuine LR manual.
If there is no motor but it has epb then usually the actuator is somwhere under the car and it uses cables to pull the calipers. In this case you would wind the piston back as you would on a normal manual handbrake caliper.
Did your motor have 6 or 12 teeth? Because im very unsure on which bit i have to use to rewind the mechanisms in the calliper. Some people use torx and others use hex.
I did it exactly like you did it on my 2021 ssangyong korando. After 2 weeks left one stopped working with an epb fault. The service said left caliper need to change as a whole together with the motor on it. Very frustrating.
@@pistonbroke Ok, thank you ! I supposed it is something similar, but some mechanics claim that it shouldn't be done without the VAGcom, because it's a risk to block the PKB....
@@robtay1983 Hello Robbie, first you have to excuse my bad english (i'm french 😁), I don't exactly understand your question : in my opinion, as you block your electric brake, your vehicle will be secured ... even when your engine is running ...
I did all of this and was able to reassemble everything but my brake light still stays on. Any suggestions. Need help. Brakes and parking brake work fine.
Thanks that, got me out of a bit of a hole last night on my X-Trail T32 with electric hand brake. I have found the pedal is a bit spongy now, is this normal I do I need to do a bleed as well?
What condition are the discs in? If the discs have a wear lip then the pads will need to bed in. You also need to pump the brake before applying the hand brake.
@@pistonbroke new discs and pads all round. I did what you said in the video, pumped the brake before applying the handbrake, all that worked fine it has just left the pedal a little on the soft side. Not sure why
@@tonyhobson9677 they might just want bedding in. Give it a drive and do some gentle braking. I'm assuming the calipers are not siezed, sliders are free and the pads are not tight in the carriers?
Have you run into a situation on a Ford where you used the service mode to wind back the calipers, replaced the pads, only to have the unit refuse to exit service mode?
Is this a nissan? Is the brake pad the same as manual parking brake model? I found some manufacturers (bosch) have two part numbers for power or manual parking brake. I am wondering the difference. Looks like it might be the back plate of the pad? It should have a spike in order to fit into piston. Thanks
It's a Renault but these calipers are used on loads of different makes & models. The pads are more than likely different and will depend on what car it is.
Stumbled across your channel really enjoyed it. Think you just need to change the name of the channel as you will then attract more subscriber's. 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
Nice video and very informative, however i have a question, on the ebc, is the motor on both sides or just one, looking to change the pads on my Jag xf.
@@pistonbroke replaced the rear pads on my 2011 preface lift jaguar xf and there was no motor on it, so don't think all models come with it, though it's electronic to activate in the cabin, it's completely hydraulic at the back end, even better for me.
Didn't work for me, my Kadjar has a dash like a christmas tree now, not happy. I followed the steps given. I assume what you mean by service mode is turn of the engine and take of the negative battery terminals?
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.
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.
So I'm using a manual (Schwaben) caliper crank piston retractor. It doesn't seem like the piston is retracting. Turn counterclock, or clockwise to retract? And on the epb, I turned clockwise all the way until it won't turn anymore. Any suggestions? And the piston boot is twisting.
Don't twist the piston. Do what i did in the video. Take the motor off, squeeze the piston and turn the part at the back of the caliper where the motor goes.
Great video Steve 👍 I have a question though, do you need to take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir before pushing the piston back? Or is it different on these ones?
I did this and now I have an e-brake alarm that randomly goes on. Brakes function properly, e-brake functions properly. I did my brakes before I came across this video and did the same thing. Advice?
@@robtay1983 no, depends on make and model. For example, with land rover you pump the brake and hold then push the epb switch and hold it for 5 seconds. You could just disconnect the calipers to stop the brake coming on.
@@robtay1983 In this video "putting into the service mode" means disengage the parking brake and make sure it is not on. So no scan/diagnostic tool is needed here.
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
Quicker to do it this way than piss about with wires and a battery. Less than a minute to whip the motor off and wind it back with a milwaukee ratchet.
What? If you don't know how to pump the pistons back out then you shouldn't be working on the car. I did say what to do at the end of the video if you care to watch it all.

Maybe the seal wasn't seated properly and water has got into the motor.
Can you just twist the piston back in only? without using the ratchet in the back like you did ?
No.
Is there not a risk then of having the piston in a random position with respect to the zero position of the motor ?
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.
