I just changed rear brakes pads on my 2017 Outlander and I cannot get rid of the "Parking brake service required" and "release parking brake" messages. It seems it may be stuck in maintenance mode. The brakes and parking brake are functioning, but I cannot figure out how to clear these messages. How do you clear these messages?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Did you set the service mode for the Electric parking brake before changing the brakes?

 

Yes I put it in service mode first, but it didn't seem to work. I manually backed it off by removing the motor and turning the 6mm hex socket inside.

 

Service mode ? pardon my ignorance. I usually do all the main. on my cars, however I just bought my Outlander 2019 and I didnt had the chance to service anything yet, So can you explain a little how to deal with the elct. parking brake while service the rear brake ? thanks :-)

 

This reply is for the OP

try holding the Electric Park Brake switch up for a few seconds. If this doesnt work you will need to use a scantool

Does not have to be a Dealer MUT3 one.Most Quality scantools that professional repairers use have the capability of this

 

Ok Thanks , but what should I expect to see, feel ? caliper Piston retracting fully by itself ?

 

I tried holding the release for up to ten seconds. It didn't work.

 

Then you will need to use a scan tool to reset

 

apparently that works also on Mitsubishi out , you will 2 leads and a battery

 

Can anyone confirm that this trick works on a 2019 outlander
