Thanks alot bro! You saved me about $1k to do my brakes. Really do appreciate you taking the time to do this and show this detail. Greetings from Chicago!👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻
Hi!! I have a 2016 Lincoln mkz and it keeps giving a “park brake limited function service required” notice and won’t let me disengage the parking brake or move. But I didn’t engage the parking brake, so idk why that’s happening. Do you know what might be happening??
If you didn’t apply the parking brake and its on by itself, that is not good, but its strange that it applied itself. Did you try to engage and disengage the system again?
New York City Rust from lack of use, then the rusty rotors kills the pads..but in this case ,she was tired of the mechanics telling her she needs rear brakes because of the condition of the rotors at every oil change interval...
Not sure how you forced the caliper piston back in, hopefully nothing was damaged. Check the wiring and connector on the caliper to make sure its not broken or not secured in properly then try again to put it in maintenance mode..both calipers are not moving? Did you do one of those hacks that are on the other youtube videos?
Mann, I’m working on it now. I didn’t know about the maintenance mode and I already took the pads out, now I can push the pump back in because the car say park brake malfunction service now. Any help with getting the pump push back in work be greatly appreciated.
@@alyoungcuda I just put everything back on, but it won’t let me move the car out of the emergency park. I put it in drive and reverse. It won’t let me move. 😢
@@trindon9439 you need to apply the epb and reset it, sometimes takes a few tries of on and off with the maintenance technique and apply and release the parking brake..
08 is not electronic, its mechanical like in this video on a Hyundai look at the 5 minute mark on how the piston is pushed back in..and thanks for watching.. ruclips.net/video/9YXQT2YtKYo/видео.html
Maintenance mode places the electric parking brake motors in neutral sort of speaking so you can easily push in the caliper pistons to accept the new wider brake pads. Once the brakes are replaced, you take it out of Maintenance mode and it grabs the piston with the motors gears so when you go back to using the parking brake, the motor spins,grabs the gears and moves the pads in to squeeze the rotors to apply the parking brake or release it. There are hacks out there that do other things like screwing the motors off or providing power and ground to the motors from an outside source, but why when you just have to follow a simple step, it makes it easier so you just have to push in the piston like its a front caliper...
Does this work with new models like 2017 n up?? I have a continental 2017 we ended up manually screwing in the caliper with vice grips 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ hope I didn’t f*ck anything up 😢
Yes it works on newer models and hopefully the worse thing that happens is that you mess up the gears on the motor or piston and the vise grip marks...

Excellent, glad it worked out and thanks for watching too...
This was a lifesaver, thank you!
You're welcome and thanks for watching...
Worked like a charm!
Excellent. I'm glad you did it the Proper way and not one of those Hack jobs they have out there...and thanks for watching...
Thank you , you help me out alot
No problem, thanks for watching...
Great video do you have to do this for the front brakes as well...
No, front brake caliper pushes in with just a regular tool

Just a fyi this also works on the lincoln mkx as well.
Good to know , thanks
@alyoungcuda no thank you this saved me when my scanner wasn't able to put it in service mode for some reason.
@@Rjj2721 awesome
Thanks!!!
And thanks for watching too...
Legend, thanks for this. It needed rear brakes at 15k miles?

Your the best my guy🎉😅
Thanks and thanks for watching too...
is the full accessory power active same as maintenance mode ?
No
It has to say brake maintenance mode is on
I didnt know about this and just changed my tear pads. Now its telling me parking break malfunction, but i cant get into maintenance mode

@@alyoungcuda had to put a battery to it and reverse polarity and it compressed itself
@@EddiePounds you did it for both sides or just 1 side the wiring is messed up
@@alyoungcuda both sides. I just had to unplug the clip then put wire to the prong, then plugged it back in
@@alyoungcuda dealership told me to unplug the battery for 20 mins but that didn't get rid of the warning indicator
Mann, I’m working on it now. I didn’t know about the maintenance mode and I already took the pads out, now I can push the pump back in because the car say park brake malfunction service now. Any help with getting the pump push back in work be greatly appreciated.
Can you reinstall everything back on with the old pads, then set it to maintenance mode
@@alyoungcuda I just put everything back on, but it won’t let me move the car out of the emergency park. I put it in drive and reverse. It won’t let me move. 😢

@@trindon9439 as long as you can hear the motors humming then you didn't mess anything up..it hums moving in or out
@@alyoungcuda thanks a lot man. I’m going to try that
Is there a how to video for a 2008 model?

@@alyoungcuda thanks l, brakes are working good now should be good 🤷♂️ but definitely helpful for next time
