EPB reset brake open/close caliber
There is a risk to overheating the motors, which is the second most common failure of these calipers. The first being when wannabe mechanics try forcing the pistons back.
The signal from the EPB ECU is rapidly pulsed to stop overheating. i have heard of 9v batteries being used, but have no evidence of this

anyone have luck with this procedure. There is a good video on YouTube but I can’t duplicate the procedure.
i can get the EPb lockout message but then I can’t get the EPB to disengage before disco the battery.
Last time I changed pads the outlander beeped excessively at me until I got it reset at the dealer. Was free. Just don’t know how often they will do this for free.

1. Disconnect negative side of battery.
2. Disconnect the plug on top of the caliper for the EPB system.
3. remove caliper and old pads.
4. Use a 9v battery with alligator clips (test leads) to reverse the caliper direction.
4a. Connect the leads and see if the piston move outwards, if it does, reverse polarity.
4b. Connect leads u til it moves some, then squeeze it in with clamp. I used a ratcheting quick grip clamp.
5. Insert to pads into positon.
6. Check caliper fitment over pads.
7. Repeat steps 4-5 as needed until it is the right depth.
8. Reconnect battery.
9. Turn car on (not start engine).
10. Apply EPB emergency brake (pull up on switch). You will hear the EPB whine for longer than it normally does.
11. Release EPB.
NO TROUBLE CODES, NO ERADIC BEEPING, NO WARNINGS OF PARK BRAKE DISABLED.
supposedly there is a point where you can wind the piston too far and it locks in or bottoms out. I didn’t get to that point and not sure what happens if you do.
