How To Replace Rear Brakes | Ford Edge (Service Mode)

In this video my nephew "Surge" and I show you how to enter/exit "service mode" as this vehicle has EPB or Electronic Parking Brake system and it must be in service mode in order to allow rear brake replacement on these vehicles. This is not required for the front brakes however.
The 2nd part of the video is the actual rear brake pads and rotor replacement. I somehow lost the recording when we actually removed the old hardware so just follow in reverse order for removing the old pads.

Thx for the video. Made it a breeze to change the brakes on my parent's Edge (2015 MY).

Thanks for the vid. My local shop quoted $380 for this job, said I "MUST" have a computer to de-activate the E brake. I bought the parts for well under a hundred bucks. Looks like a one beer job to me. Thanks again. I LOVE the sound effects !!!!!

I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for the feedback ✌

Thanks for the video, it made me feel like doing the brakes on my 2016 Edge will be a breeze.

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Very easy to do as long as you have a good set of tools. Front brakes don't require the service mode, this only applies to the rear. Thanks for the feedback, glad it was helpful to you ✌

Thanks for the video much help sir!

This is for the 2015 model year which may be similar to yours: Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Service Mode Activation and Deactivation Activation WARNING: Service actions on vehicles equipped with electronic parking brakes may cause unexpected parking brake application, which could result in injury to hands or fingers. Put the electronic parking brake system into service mode prior to servicing or removing rear brake components. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury. NOTE: EPB service mode is also known as EPB maintenance mode. NOTE: Carry out the following service mode activation procedure to deactivate the EPB system. 1. Set the ignition to ON. 2. Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch to the RELEASE (downward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and EPB. 3. Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch. 4. NOTE: The EPB system will be deactivated, preventing parking brake application until service has been completed and service (maintenance) mode has been deactivated. The yellow EPB indicator will be illuminated and Maintenance Mode will display on the message center. NOTE: When replacing rear brake pads in service (maintenance) mode, the brake caliper piston must be compressed into the caliper housing. The brake caliper piston does not have to be rotated while compressing the piston. Set the ignition to OFF then release the accelerator pedal and EPB switch. Deactivation NOTE: Carry out the following service mode deactivation procedure to activate the EPB system. 1. Set the ignition to ON. 2. Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch in the APPLY (upward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch. 3. Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch. 4. NOTE: The EPB system will fully apply and release the parking brake to guarantee sufficient air gap between the rear brake pads and brake disc. Release the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.

This comment helped me more than the video.

This is what I needed. Thank you for the informstion

Out here doing God's work

You're not suppose to just push the piston back in. Those caliper pistons are suppose to be turned clockwise while being pushed in which is why you need the brake caliper tool that has adapters to fit in the notches in the piston to turn it as your push. Then once its pushed in you turn the piston back so with needle nose pliers so that the notches are are 12 and 6 o clock

[@rydn2lo]

I thought that they was on earlier models?

[@charlesdickey4827]

Thanks for this video mechanic tried telling me I need a scanner tool and it would be cheaper to pay him to do it for me

Glad it was helpful

[@janetyeoman1544]

Just watched and did rear pads and rotors on 17 Edge. Brake maintenance mode allows person to compress piston into caliper manually. I originally assumed the piston was automatically retracted in that mode.

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

The noise it makes when in maintenance mode is the electronic hand brake or E-brake releasing but yeah you still need to push the piston in to get the caliper off and pads on. Thanks for watching ✌

[@mattnieschwitz4727]

Does it matter as far as wear if my pads are flipped? The pad with the clip on top is on the outside

[@jasonhernandez6291]

I wantd to ask I have a 2017 ford edge and I don't have that type of dash I have the Se model how do I know if my vehicle needs to be in this mode?

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

If your vehicle has the electronic parking brake you will need to do this. If you have a pedal you push down for parking brake you should not need this step.

[@juvibro9913]

thanks I need to do them on my MKX black label but their is definitely no videos on the Lincoln.

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Should be the same, only the rear will require the service mode to release the e-brake. The fronts are normal. Thanks for the feedback ✌

[@DM-lb6hn]

Do I need to enter the park break maintenance to replace the front breaks or no ?

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Nope, this is only for the rear brakes!

[@seanny34]

I noticed you just compressed the piston. In everything else I saw online, it showed them as being the screw in type?

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Not for the sport anyway, it's definitely not the screw type. This is the 2016 model

[@seanny34]

@@BasikVids_4_Life yeah I think you're right. As long as you put it in parking brake maintenance mode! Nice video

[@mygt8a4re]

What years need this before doing brakes? I didn't see anything in the description on the years

2015-2018

@@BasikVids_4_Life ahhh, ok thanks! 👍

[@buzzn001]

Where I'd the removal part. This video makes no sense!

[@probegt75]

I didn't do that procedure I just changed them like normal hope I didn't mess'em up

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

If it's older than 2015 might not need to.

[@lockheedload]

why are you touching the pad material with your fingers?

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

Just to see if anyone would ask. Is that okay?

[@lockheedload]

@@BasikVids_4_Life From disc brakes 101: And remember: Never touch the braking surface of the rotor or pads with your bare hands because the oils on your fingers can decrease braking power.

[@AC-sc1pc]

@@lockheedload LMAO literally gets full of water and shit from the road and you're worried about a finger touching it. Don't smear grease/oil on brake components and you'll be fine.

[@lockheedload]

​@@AC-sc1pc Ok. I'll be sure to tell the experts they're wrong because AC from youtube said so.

[@djchriskiser]

@@lockheedload AC is 110% correct with the entire statement. I have never had an issue after touching the brake pads for the past 20 years...

[@2JWilliam]

Needs more fart juice on the pins.

[@Grantdaryn]

Whats he spraying on the rotar

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

It's an anti-rust spray to keep the rotors looking good. It's a good idea in states like ours that see snow/salt during the winter ✌

[@janetyeoman1544]

@@BasikVids_4_Life maybe don’t encourage anti rust spray on the brakes. It’s usually an oil based product. Won’t really help when you apply brakes. Brake cleaner is recommended.
