    The shop doesn't have the proper aftermarket scantool that can access modules. She has electronic parking brakes. You need to have the rear caliper piston retract during the brake job. As a Nissan tech I can personally say that it can be done this way. Our manufacturer equipment does this, but our aftermarket scantool that we use for other manufacturers also does this.

    Some cars including I believe Volkswagen. You have to put the brakes into service mode In the rear. You can't compress the caliper piston without doing that Some scanners have that service feature in them. Where you can put the brakes into service mode, but if it's not compatible with Nissan, you might need their software.

    Yes, its true that the rear brakes need to be replaced around 20-k miles on 2013 and newer Nissan Pathfinders. We're on our 3rd set at 82-k miles and second set of front pads on a 2015 Pathfinder. Many people on the Pathfinder forums have the same complaint. Could it be that the proportioning valves were installed backwards?

    If I'm not mistaken I think she's saying that RTD means that no one can make the repair without a program that will communicate a diagnosis or successful repair without a manufacturers key code to be updated on the vehicles computer. I could be wrong but this i believe is the future of automotive repair and diagnostics. I haven't worked for a dealership for more than 15 years now but I'm still mechhanically inclined. My mechanic ability is cancelled out when the mechanic can not update a module in the vehicles computer. This is the direction of the the future of automotive repair. Blame the manufacturers.

    Right to Repair Issues. As a Mechanic I've always had to buy the Tools to get the Job done. Some of them are expensive. The Subscription fees to make features work and Fee's to access computer Reprograming and Resets to Systems is pushing the Right to Repair Movement. John Deer and maybe a lot of other Manufacturers want the Service Work back at the Dealerships. The reset the caliper feature is using a Sensor. You should be able to reset it yourself through the in-Car Computer Access. Like resetting Your oil Life and changing Your Security Settings Ect. If TMPS is on the Dash. Your Brake Wear Indicator is on the Dash. You should be able to Air up Your Tires and Replace the Brake Components through the Onboard Compter System. Nissan is trying to get in Bed with John Deer.

  • @Andys_Auto

    Many vehicles have electronic parking brakes and may need software to put them in service mode. It's also possible that there was an issue with the electronic parking brake to begin with potentially causing a light drag on the rear brakes.
    The only things electric I know of on the brakes are the abs system, electronic parking brake, and brake light system.
    Some vehicles that have the auto shut off at stop lights may also apply the brakes for you so you don't have to hold your foot on the pedal. There may be electronics involved with that as well.
    In her case I would bet money they are referring to not being able to put the parking brake into service mode to reset the caliper pistons

Dealer will change everything recommended in the official book if you let them . As for the ecm ? Each programming tool has their favorite . I'm sure you'll need a few programming tool to cover them all . Unless you do like pine auto . He pay monthly and this garanty him is machine should work for the zone he is at . Like dvd zoning . Oh they try to implement mine my own my precious but last time any rubbed against right to repare . They lost a lot . So that subject is close . Take me . Nissan tell me a 7317 wont screw on my engine . It's a lie . The mechanic had a bias against the plastic core . Even tho my car has no warranty . Now , nissan loose oil change from me because their mechanic refuse customer request . I feel sad for nissan . I supply the oil the filter . Only a crush washer is required . Nissan dealer loose 130$ each time because their mechanic did not like filter lenght even tho they always over fill in last 2 year .
