This service applies to all Kia and Hyundai vehicles and the electronic method applies for any, and all makes and models with an electronic parking brake. As for the mechanical way, I cannot confirm. I hope this helps.

This worked great on my son-in-laws 2021 hyundai tucson Worked exactly the way you described. 12v battery 15 seconds when started to turn stopped it push the piston in and that's it. Battery is the way to go. Got all the brakes done in 1hr 50 minutes. Great video. You the man. PS : Went in like butter! Lol

We did the mechanical method with an Allen key turning clockwise until it stopped. The piston needed a little persuasion to go back in, but when it started moving in it did very slowly and gently. Thanks for the video.

Great video, very thorough. I already did mine, using the battery method, but did not know the (so simple) method to reset the parking brake. Thanks!

Did you use a 12v car battery?

Great video thanks for making it but why not just wind the Piston back into the caliper using the slots on the face of the piston?

If you don’t electronically move it back you will damage it doing that. If you meant why not wind it back using the slots after electronically moving it back. You 100% can but I find most times I can just do it by hand 😂 or a c-clamp which im used to

I have an urgent question. My USA 2016 Kia Sorento Limited AWD supposedly has EPB because I do not have a pull handle or pedal to depress and there is a button on the shift console for engaging it and for the hold feature. However, when I took of the driver side rear wheel off today, I could not find any electric connector that would plug into the EPB module, and I could not find an EPB module. The caliper is one piece with no screws of any kind to remove a back plate and I don't know that the connection to it is electric; the piston has a hollow core. I have taken photos of this that I would love to share if possible to get your take on what the heck I have. Really hope you see this and can assist!

My apologies for viewing this late. In the situation where you cannot find an electronic parking brake module the odds are it’s a drum system or it’s a pump for the actual brake hose in which case you don’t need to do anything you need to really make sure that this is the situation. I’ve never seen it in a Kia before, so make sure. Hope this helps.

A 9 volt battery with alligator clips works as well. Thanks or the video.

Great video, thank you for posting this. Not much content around this. TY! - how was the brake pedal pressure? Spongy? And did you have to bleed the brakes?

@TOPAUTOSC Жыл бұрын

If you apply the ebrake 2-3 times and pump the brakes they shouldn’t be spongy. Keep in mind it sometimes takes a bit of driving for the brake pedal the get to it’s fully stiff position. No bleeding necessary!!!

Apologies, although if you are doing your own brakes I would hope you know how to unplug a sensor haha

Tried to do my brakes before i knew this was even a thing. I compressed the piston without backing off the motor first, now i have weak rear brake authority. How likely is it that my calipers are fucked even if the EPB still functions normally? Am i still able to back off the motor and then compress the piston and put everything back on to regain rear brake authority?

Definitely try to do it the proper way and see if it helps. But you might have just ruined the caliper and will need a new one

So all you need is a 12 volt car battery to actuate E brake to retract? I saw one use a charger and use the 2amp instead. I guess he didn't want to use 12v . Also i saw another video using a 9v battery with volt meter connectors. Is it safe to use a car battery? Thinking it use 12 v anyway. Just want to make sure of the volts beacause these other videos are making me think twice on the volts. Whst are your thoughts.i plan to change brakes on a 2020 hyundai tucson with E brake next week

@TOPAUTOSC 3 ай бұрын

I would use a car battery and keep the voltage the same. Lower volts would just retract slower but better safe than sorry those electronic components aren’t cheap

@adamgroves5016 Жыл бұрын

Can you reset the caliber piston by turning the piston itself back in, instead of removing the EPB module?

@TOPAUTOSC 11 ай бұрын

You have to bring the electronic portion back first before pushing the piston back. If you don’t you will ruin a very expensive caliper

@restinpiecesrc5528 2 ай бұрын

Does pressing the actuator button in engage or disengage the parking brake, im working on mine currently and it also has autohold, epb and brake light on, do the codes need clearing or is something else wrong

@TOPAUTOSC Ай бұрын

The odds are you had the ignition on at some point with it disconnected so it read a low-voltage. If you follow the procedure correctly, you’ll need a scan tool to clear that code and everything should work normally.
