I would like to thank you too. I did the sequence to put my CX 5 in maintenance mode so I could change my rear rotors and as I was working on the first side I heard a bunch of chattering coming from the front. I don't know why or what it was but when I went to put it out of maintenance mode the car was completely dead! The only light in the dash was the airbag light. I checked and only had 3.6 volts in the battery and it would not take a charge. I let it set overnight with the battery unhooked and when I hooked up the battery it somehow returned to 12.6 volts. The car actually started, so I shut it off and followed your sequence and it worked! The only thing different was that I had to push the start button three times. Thank you so much for your help! You are a lifesaver!
I really like videos like this no frustration or confusion.👌
Glad you liked this one 😁
Very helpful!!! Excellent feed to you tubers. Called the dealer & they don't want to give that information...
Thank you so much for helping us. You're awesome.
So happy you found this helpful. Let me know what other types of things you might be interested in learning. Would love some insight so I can make more helpful videos. Thanks!
Thank you, this was a huge help! Kudos to you for taking the time to create the video and post it!!!
Thank you! Really glad this helped 🤙🏽
Thank you for making this video! It was so helpful!
Awesome! I'm glad it helped
Thanks for this simple illustration video, some minor problems are easy to solve by specialists, thanks again
Great man thanks for watching ✌🏼
thank man thant was helpful and easy take care 🤙💪
This is the secret sauce ... hahaha. Worked Perfectly. Awesome Help! THANK YOU! 😊
This helped me out tremendously yesterday. Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this, great help, nailed it on the 1st attempt
That's awesome! I'm glad it worked for you 💪🏽
Appreciate the help! I have a 2018 Mazda 3 GT and have to change my rear pads very soon
Glad this helped!
Is this necessary for front brake pad replacement
No it is not. Only rear brakes 👍🏽
Great video. Thanks. Just to clarify. I'm holding the accelerator the entire time all the down? Also, to retract the piston, is it possible to do this without the special tool? I have the general tool which pushes back normal pistons (front caliper pistons), but I don't have the one that allows me to turn the rear piston CCW. Thanks. (Just read below, c-clamp will work)
Hey yes accelerator down the whole time and NO special tool needed to push in rear piston. Just normal tool is fine, I know it looks like it but u don't need the spinny one 👍🏼
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for some reason it was easy get on,put remove the parking symbol it took me 10 minutes. Any more tricks,like can you get another 10hp out her?
Haha well I'm glad this helped. Tricks for more hp? Not sure if this will get you 10hp more, but if you want to start with some basic power gains I would go with an upgraded air intake from Corksport.
When you press or pull up the parking brake button are you holding it?
Yes. Hold the park brake switch down while cycling the ignition
Thanks
Thank you! This was awesome! Needed to find it about 10 hours sooner, though 😆.
How f-Ed up is this to go through though ? This secret “trick/protocol/procedure” I think is for the benefit of dealerships - “Oh, it’s waaaaaay to hard for you, the owner to do, bring it in so we can charge you $450.”
Haha yea I get it. Super glad you found value in this video. Just trying to help people save some time and money. Let me know what other dealership insight might be helpful for future videos. Thanks again.
well you need a procedure to disable the e-brake motors (for electronic e-brakes you always need to disable the motors so you can push the pistons back in). a lot of cars require something to plug in to the OBD-2 port (but even this is cracked in many cases). mazda is actually one of the better ones that let you do the service mode without a special tool.
That was great, very helpful. Thanks.
Glad that helped brotha. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
Do you do this when changing the front ones also?
No sir. Only for rear brakes equipped with electronic parking brake
I did this after taking the caliper off, now I can’t get the piston to go back in. Any advice?
Hmm if u have it in service mode you should be able to manually push in the piston with a tool
So have the car completely on or just on the on position and have foot on Petel?
Key on engine off, accelerator pedal all the way down 👍🏼
Helpful 👍
Happy this was helpful for you.
Same procedure for a 2019 mazda 3? I want to upgrade my brake bad
Yes sir
Same way with a manual just keep it in gear right?
Manual cars don't have electronic brake. You don't need to do this on a manual
@@f0lkblues Yes Manuals do have an electronic brake for the newer models. I have a 2019 Mazda 3 Manual.
As long as you have electric parking brake on a Mazda 2016 and up this should work. Doesn't really matter if car is in gear or not. This procedure is to be performed with key on and engine off. 👍🏼
Do you have the gas pedal depressed at all times or did you let go at some point?
Gas pedal down the whole time 👍🏼
Good question.
Real 👍
What do you do when you’re trying to shut it off but it says “switch operation not accepted, have the vehicle inspected”
To get it out of service mode, repeat this same procedure except instead of pushing the park brake button, pull it
I also have the ''switch operation not accepted, have the vehicle inspected''. The PB switch basically does not work anymore and you can't exit the service mode (or set \ release the EPB). What was the fix?
Replying to my own comment... Went to the dealership, service director sat in the car and tried many times to put the car out of service mode (while getting the ''switch operation not accepted'' message). He eventually succeeded and said one needs to be persistent and repeatedly try to put it out of service mode until successful. I did not count but it took several attempts.
Anyone know if i should prime the brake before taking it out of service or does it matter?
Yea I usually pump the brakes first before I take it out of service mode 👍🏼
Thanks for the quick reply!
what happens if you change them without doing this? because i did and now the two parking breaks are on :'( and the parking brake isn't working
Did you ever figure what to do to get the lights off?
I need to know aswell
Yea unfortunately you will probly have to get new parking brake motors for the rear calipers
@@roadstertech i actually followed the video and they work fine didn't have to change a thing>
What if it doesn’t wanna get off maintenance mode.
Make sure you are pulling up on the switch while cycling the ignition to get it out of service mode
Will this work on honda?
Not sure what the Honda procedure is for this but probably similar. Good luck. Sorry for the late reply.
Do I have to do this on an awd 2016.5 grand touring? To change the all the brake pads?
Yes if it has electronic parking brake.
Ewww, whoever car that is, GROSS! Thank you for the video though so I can do my brakes.
Haha sometimes cars that come in are pretty dirty yea. Glad this video was helpful for you.
Sweet
Can't you retract the motor manually? I saw another video where they removed the motor and turned a screw while compressing the piston.
I've heard of a couple guys that have done it but I have never tried honestly. Good question though.
I do it manually
while maintaince mode i should change rear padles brake then turn off the maintaince mode?
Yes you need to put vehicle in to maintenance mode, then once you remove the old brake pads, push in the brake caliper pistons so you can fit the new pads.
@@roadstertech then once i finish i get out of maintaince mode right?
thx very much (:
@@omkahledqubali4996 yup once you put the brake pads on and tighten everything up and put the wheels back on take it out of maintenance mode the same way except this time you will be pulling the button up instead of pushing down
Resolver Automotive the piston doesn’t need to be turned as it’s being pushed in? a C-clamp can be used?
@@FrostyCoug correct you do not need to spin the piston. Simply press it back in 👍🏼
Not in australia
😢
Will this work 2018 mazda 6 touring?
Hi, yes it will
how to disengage parking brake on mazda6 2017 manually without battery an emergency case?
Hmmm not too sure about this one. Sorry brotha.
Crowbar
Are the front and rear pads the same
You do not have to go through this procedure with the front brakes. The electronic parking brake is only on the rear 👍🏼
Mine won’t come out of service mode
Dirty middle console. Can’t imagine what the trunk looks like
Lol yea we see a lot of funky cars at the dealer
Hold down on what?
You are holding down the parking brake switch
Would help for someone else to record this for him -doin too Dam much
Nope, missing a step. Did not work
Too bad we couldn't disable that automatic electronic parking brake all together forever! They can make self driving cars but Mazda can't even make one that disengages the parking brake automatically. I'm always squatting down in reverse and had to make a laminated sign on my dash for parking attendants.
Every Mazda with electronic parking brake disengage automatically as soon as you touch the accelerator pedal if you have the seat belt fastened
Not so automatically and people moving cars around a lot don't put on seat belts.
Incorrect. While holding down the switch and gas, push ignition three times.
@R. A. Then you can't follow instructions.
Very unclear.
Sorry to hear that. Might have to make an updated video on this procedure
Doesn’t work.
Sorry to hear that. Make sure foot stays pushing down on gas pedal the whole time and start with ignition in the ON position.
Doesn’t work. Don’t waste time
