2019 Chevrolet Traverse - how to retract the electronic parking brake without using a scan tool
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Great and simple How-to - This works for all GM (Chevy, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, etc) electronic parking brakes, as well as most Ford and other manufacturers. This is on my wife’s 2019 Traverse, but is the same for the most part on all of them.
Also a huge shout out to our friends Don Geary and Donnie Minut Jr at PowerStop Brakes!
Just did my brothers Traverse - the rear parking brake about kicked my ass. This video saved me! 👍
Great video! I was about to give up, and then i found your video! Thanks a bunch!
Great video!! I’m about to do this on my wife’s ‘18 GMC Acadia. I really appreciate that you have clear instructions on what to do AND the sizes you were using. It saves some guess work and knowing if you have these tools/sizes before starting the job and needing to run up to the parts store “again”. Cheers!!
Your the man! I was lost in the sauce. Thanks for the vid.
You’re welcome! It’s a great work around to show the OEMs to stick it.
Thank you so much for posting this! I was replacing pads and rotors on my 2018 Chevrolet Traverse and didn’t understand the electronic brake mechanism on the rear. We were pushing on the piston with a c clamp and nothing was happening. Grabbed the position rotating tool and still wasn’t working. I followed this and kept screwing until the piston retracted. We were able to do it without pulling the “red clip” off first.
Did you leave the power on the motor then
@@jasonv2911 We had the engine off
Worked a treat on my 2016 CT6
Try this method, works with Silverado trucks. With the ignition off press the brake pedal and then press parking brake button for 10 seconds, release brake pedal and button then press quickly press the parking brake button once again and brake should make a sound as the piston goes in. To cancel after finished, turn on ignition, step on the brake and press parking brake for 5 seconds. That's it.
Tried that on my 2019 Chevy equinox, it didn’t work.
Do you still have the compress the piston while turning it to get the new pads in?
My dad like unhooked the parking brake manually to change the brake pads and manually put it back on
@@stacythurlow6421 yes
I used a scan tool to retract the rear electronic brakes. I was able to push the piston back with just a c-clamp. Every video shows you having to use a brake piston turning tool. If i would have known this method i could have saved some money.
what scan tool did you use?
Worked great Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome!
Same shit diff smell👌🏻 and the chingaderia had me laughing bro thank you! Camaro brakes are done 😪
Glad you enjoyed!
Read that you have to calibrate the brake piston after completing the brake job. How do you get around this part without the diagnostic tool?
You absolutely do not. It self calibrates when you engage and then disengage the parking brake.
fyi this video is useless for the lame person .....
@@phillysauto4724 how so? If someone is that dense to not follow along, they have no business touching any part of their brake system, let alone even taking a wheel off or jacking up their vehicle. I would assume if you're watching this, you at least know the basics about changing brake pads...my 11 year old can do it....
Mine self calibrating. We after re assembly we bleed the brakes and engaged the e-brake. You’ll hear the gears buzzing adjusting to the new shapes
What kind of 3/16 bit did you use?
Good video! I did a rear brake job on a 2013 Audi A4 and used a battery with a wire connected to the positive terminal, and a wire connected to the negative terminal. I touched one wire to the brake caliper motor pin and the other to the second pin. It retracted the caliper. Then, to put it back I reversed polarity. Was wondering if that would work on the Chevy. Also, do you need to disconnect the negative battery terminal to do this job. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you! I never disconnected the battery during this project.
I may try it your way next time! That might be a fun one to try out for S&Gs! Would make a great video as well!
LOL! Thanks.
@@DezarovsClassics
vary good one ! thank you very much!
Just put it in service mode and release the ebrake and the compress the caliper. Look it up, easy peasy
@@deanhere actually DOES NOT work amazingly enough.
Homeboy you look just like Zach Galifianakis. You should name your Chanel “between two wheels”
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! maaaaaan!!!! Well played sir! 😂🤣
I turn in the piston clockwise on both sides to retract it? Thanks
How do you reset orange park light on the dash
Just cycle the parking brake once and it should go out
@@DezarovsClassics how else can you reset the orange parking light on the dash? I cycle the parking brake through but the light is still on every time I start the car and give me an error message.
@@74bsoles you ever figure out how to get the light to reset?
Do you go clockwise with your bit to get the parking brake piston all the way engaged, then use a C clamp to push it back? Or are you using your bit to retract it?
Retracted with the bit, then clamp or channel locks or spreader as you would normally.
Is the electronic parking brake on the rear or the front brakes of a 2018 traverse
Rear
Thank you
You're welcome
Anything special you have to do for reassembly
nope!
Did you show the bit you used at all? I don't want to get into it and not have the right bit.
A standard set of torx and Allen bits will have something that will work. Not lying that is cranked down with any level of resistance
@@DezarovsClassics thank you, I'm going to give it a go tomorrow and i have a buddy with a scan tool. For back up if needed
Do you need to turn the screw for the piston in the opposite direction till the piston start moving out or will it set itself when you activate the parking brake when it's complete?
It set itself with the parking brake
@@DezarovsClassics thanks for the info! Doing a full brake job on a '18 this weekend
You have to use the brake caliper tool to turn and compress the piston back into the caliper. You can damage the caliper if you don't.
Negative. Watch the video, once the electric BS is retracted just push the piston in. You’re thinking of those stupid ford pistons…
Thank you
You're welcome
My caliper gets stuck half way coming off. Do I need to just force it off or is there a way to get it off???? That's where I'm stuck at. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Front or rear? You need to make sure the rotor isn’t cocked and the piston(s) are all the way retracted
The rear tires.
If it is getting stuck then you have one of the following:
Rotor is cocked.
Pad is cocked.
Piston is not fully retracted.
Your piston may be bound. Email me some pictures if you can. Dezarovsclassics@gmail.com
Ok any idea of how I should about taking the caliper off?
Got my front brakes done yesterday and now it won’t go in reverse. Every time we drive forward the car slams on brakes on its own and the “r” on the dashboard keeps blinking. Would this video help fix the problem?
Nope. Who did the install? Very simple to install, shouldn’t be fucked up. Should not have any effect on the operation of the transmission…
@@DezarovsClassics Same thing I said. Do you have a possible idea what could be wrong?
@@shirlenejohnson497 possibly messed up ABS or wheel speed sensor?
he left out the part where he took electric brake off of caliper
...hello most important part ...remove and install electric
Maybe watch it again at 3:34...
Do you have torque specs front and rear for reassembly? Does it sync back automatically after your done?
When you finish, pump your pedal a bit before starting the car and then set the parking brake, it will reset itself and be good to go.
Ty man
OR, JUST PUSH with pressure the two tips of needle nose plyers in the 2 holes/divots on the face of the caliper piston and twist it counter clockwise retracting it back to the home position. A little comber-some having to turn it little by little but it works and no special tool or extra steps required.
Been doing that for years with Ford, Toyota, etc. have the tool kit, hate dealing with them. This is actually far easier than that nonsense
I unplugged and turned them in no prob what so ever
Lmao or just hold the parking brake button for 10 seconds
Teaches you at 3:20
STEPS TO PUT VEHICLE In service mode and fully retract parking brake motors to home position for brake pad servicing, by pushing and holding the parking brake lever. Supposedly works for Traverse and a lot of other newer GM vehicles.

Key word is supposedly. I have sense replaced the brakes again on our Traverse and have tried a few of the "Service Mode" tricks. I ended up saying the hell with it and doing what I did in the video. Far quicker than playing with buttons like you're putting a code in on an SNES!
