You need to hold the parking brake button down longer (5sec) to fully disengage (there will be a dash message confirming). The green auto light means the piston is still active (it should also go off). Otherwise you risk ruining the car with the battery connection.
@@Cmunene thank you, everything worked out perfect on this vehicle, and on this vehicle you must use 12v battery wires to completely to retract piston.
@ really, i tried. Also make sure to apply positive alligator clip to correct pin side just like I did in the video, you don’t want your piston to pop out
Excellent video demonstration. Very detailed and explained it very well. Thank you and great job. I’m sure it’s not easy working and recording every step but you knocked it out of the park
@@franklinaguilar4837how much did it cost to get it fixed, and what was the problem? Because now it says Electronic Brake Malfunction and 2 other lights.

@@EonVPN-e8e this car is so stupidly reliable, there is nothing that breaks on it :-). Just regular maintenance, over 100k miles on it now
Great video, just used it to successfully change my rear brake pads! Thank you!!
@@tommurph4496 did you encounter any difficulty with the rear motors?
@@nazarettos6987 no I used a 9v battery and did exactly as you said and it worked perfectly.
Great video,
Can i use 9volt batt to retract piston or is that not enough power?
@@alhavana9426 no i tried 9volt and it didn’t work. Use 12volt
@ Ohh really ok i will use 12volt thanks man👍

Do you know the TORQUE SPEC for the caliper bracket bolt?
@@j0lla127 rear caliper bolt bracket 77 ft/lb front 101
U cost me money man!
U need to say if u have the 12v on the clips other way around it takes out the piston !
@@franklinaguilar4837 i did mention it to connect correctly or the piston will come out. Also I did use 12 volt
Watch your video you did not say if you have it the opposite way it will come out

He didn’t cost you anything… his instructions were perfectly clear.
