2017 Mazda CX-5: Electronic Parking Brake Service Mode Info 

Nice and clean procedure, nicely explained and nothing's missing. Thanks!

Thank you for your video.. I just finished brake job for 2018 cx5 my daughter’s car I was struggling on caliper compressor ... Now I am 100% confident with your video!

Thanks for an easy to follow, straight to the point video. I've watched half a dozen on how to engage the EPB service mode, and they were all confusing/wordy/too long!

Oh man, saved me a world of trouble. Your tutorial is awesome, crystal clear. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you! This was a very well done and clear video. It worked like a charm on my 2007 Mazda3 Touring 2.5.

I just wanted to give a big thank you! For posting this information on RU-vid, just did my brakes today, and did not know about the e-brake service mode 👍

I know this is an old video, but I have to let you know you made this process much easier. Thank you immensely.

Hats off to you for this helpful tutorial! I appreciate your effort and know how!

Excellent step by step video . Thank you from a Brake tech in Australia!

Thank you! Straight to the point! Saw a couple of other videos and too much talking!!! Thanks again.

You're a lifesaver. Was working on my 2018 Mazda 3 and this was the trick i needed to get that blasted piston compressed. There is no telling how many times I rotated that damn thing and it was not compressing.

Awesome job at explaining the procedures for switching to Parking Brake Service Mode and Back!

This helped me change the rear brakes in my 2017 Mazda 6 Touring vehicle. Awesome video. Thanks a ton.

This was the first video that popped up for the question that I asked for resetting the parking brake as other people said before kept it easy kept it simple and got to the point fast without making a big production out of something stupid thank you

This information is invaluable. Thank you.

Wow! Very professional and to the point. Great video.

Thank you for the very informative video. Very clear and accurate info. Wishing you have a pleasant day

I had no idea. I am getting ready to do mine for the first time and had no clue about this. Awesome video, thank you

GREAT tutorial! I just completed all 4 pads on my 2016 1/2 CX5 and it went flawless thanks to you!!!!

Nice video. Short and sweet right to the point.

Excellent job. In 3 minutes I went from pre-warned and hesitant to understanding this Mazda's electronic maze and game cheating design. thanks for breaking the enigma code!

Perfect tutorial before I do a spring cleanup on our 2018 cx5. Thank you

Thanks for sharing this practical video..Changed my cx 5 rear brake flawlessly..saved me from buying piston compression tool..

I have referred to this video like 3 times already in owning this car thanks for the video man

Thank you for doing this video. It doesn’t get any more straightforward. Much appreciated!

thank you, thank you, thank you. this vid was well put together and made things so much easier. I got it first time around. big up yourself brother.

I've changed a lot of brakes on my older vehicles over the years but never heard of this operation before. I couldn't figure out why my caliper was so tight. thanks for sharing.

Thank you! You saved me today. Very straight forward.

Well done champ. Great explanation and direction. Keep it up.

You the man! I need to do the rear pads on my wife's '18 this weekend.

Just fix my daughter's car today 2/23/21 thank you for this helpfull video.. you are awesome!👍

Excellent thank you best tutorial I’ve seen on this works a treat.

very helpful had no idea how to put brake in and out of service mode thank you.

BANG,BANG THANK YOU MAN!!!!!! Thanks for posting this video, my brakes started vibrating after a hard braking I had to do. I think the rotors got warped as per mechanic and thanks to you!!!! now I can do it on my own. BY THE WAY MY CAR IS A MAZDA 3 2017 6 SPEED MANUAL AND THIS STEPS DO WORK ON IT!!!!!! Thanks...

Great video, well done and very helpful . Thanks

Good video professional and straight to the point

Thank you, I tought i had to call a tow but you saved my day!!

Just saved 350 dollars just for labour. Saved that money to buy new rotors and pads on all 4 wheels. Thanks Sir. ✌️👍🤜🤛

Excellent, excellent video. Thanks for posting. Clear and to the point...but more importantly, it works! I know your title states 2017, but it also works on my 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve.

Nailed it my man! Thank you so much! Don't understand why people could dislike this video, but screw the haters!

Super clear and informative. Good job !!!

thanks I love my Mazda and your tutorial was on spot

Thanks for the video very good viewing to repair breaks with epb

Great video! Thanks so much for this!

I have no idea how I got into service mode, could be cause I just installed a new battery; but this was helpful to fix it! Thank you!

Great video simple and helpful

I looked everywhere to find where the notches were supposed to be " 12 & 6" on the piston. I had rotated piston before learning about maintenance mode. Everything went back together fine, except i couldn't get the epb light to turn off. Thank u so much

worked on mazda 6 2017 as well. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for saving me time!

Superb! Very helpful. Thanks 😊

Thanks! I’m doing my parents this weekend and wasn’t sure about the electric parking brake

For anyone wondering this IS also the procedure for a manual gearbox with the E-Brake. Enjoy happy motoring.

Super.. The video helped a lot.. Thanks... Good day

Thank you 😊 Great video!

Thank you for this video. I just did all my brakes on the 2017 Mazda 3 and I thought I messed up the motor for the electronic brake

Super helpful thank you!!!

Bro ..... GREAT VIDEO.

Hey awesome video thanks for the info

SHORT AND SWEET ,THANKS YOU

Great info! Thank you!

Thanks 🙏 for show us this video

On a 2020, the instructions worked but the parking brake icon didn't show when in service mode like in the video. I did hear the parking brake motors actuate.

I have a 2018 Mazda 3 with a manual transmission is the same to put it in service mode

Great video, thanks

Sometimes it’s useful to give a lot off instructions to not mess it up, but in this case I like the straight to the point instructions. Watched another video for like 20 minutes just to get no information at all. You get a like. 👍🏽

Can I use this tutorial for my 2016 Mazda Cx-5 rear breaks?

After the fix brake pads , before activevate parking mode on position before brake pedal need to press or pump ?

Thanks for this vid

Good information. Thanks.

Great description - thanks! What should I do if I rotated the rear caliper out of the 12 and 6 o'clock position? Is there a way of determining which notch should be at 12 and 6? Maybe it does not matter.

👍🏾 Great instruction.

Question, what can happen if the rear piston is turned when retracting it (while in service mode). I helped a friend do his brakes and saw the notches in the piston so I figured it needed to be spun. I use a tool similar to what is in the video, (but with the adapter with pins that fit into the slots) and I slowly compressed the piston, but I could also feel the motor turning (so I went extra slow). Everything seems to be operating normally as far as the epb and rear brakes in general, but my friend is a little paranoid after reading you're not supposed to spin the piston.

I did all this but the maintenance mode (P!) Light stays on but everything works as expected... Any ideas how to get the light to go out? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this!

Very helpful thank you

you can push the piston in by sticking a screw driver between the outer pad and caliper housing

Great job!!!

Have this exact car and taking it out of service mode did not work for me. I repeated the steps till I heard the pistons doing their thing, but the light persisted to stay on. So, I ended up doing everything listed but only pushing the Start button twice and that finally got me out of service mode.

Really appreciate this, my modis lies thanks

getting parking brake malfunction after changing pads and following this.. any ideas?

does anyone know the torque specs on this model. Both rotor and caliper bolts?

Just change my rear brakes. Did all this correctly also take it out but somehow the P light is on and brake lighting flashing

Solid video thank you. I stepped into an aborted brake job (inexperienced diyer) pistons were all the way out. Saved them some cash and a dealer visit

Does this protocol also apply to 2019 CX5 AWD? What are the torque values for the caliper sidepins? Do you enable maintenance before or after jacking the vehicle? Thanks!

Thanks brother!

I got a 2017 CX-5 I’m doing the back brakes after I put it in maintenance mode so I need to turn the piston or is it like all the other pistons I just compress it with a old brake pad and C clamp

I have brake problem it flashing brake light and give 5min ride it well smoke from rear brake pad wired. how can fix that!

I have tried to do this but the service parking light does not turn on, is this a sign to panic?

Im stuck in maintenance mode. I messed up a piston. Now the other wheel is locked. Help please.

Do you pump brake pedal several times to set pistons close pads before taking system out of service mode?

When you press the brake pedal or depress the gas

Quick question, do you pump your brakes after reinstalling everything , before or after resetting epb procedure? Thx

I just finished the install of new rear brake pads on my 2017 Mazda CX-5. I put it in service mode when I started, but when I finished, I couldn't get it out of the service mode. I followed the steps exactly. The car turns on and I can drive it just fine. Brakes work and no longer squeak. What am I missing? Did I install something incorrectly and that's why it's stuck in service mode?

Sir I have Mazda cx 9 2020. Few days before I have changed my rear break pad a local automobile. After I changed the break pad the electronic parking break light comes on and goes out of sudden. What could be the issue?

Thank you so much.

open question... is it the same for 2017 Mazda 6 , as in no need to rotate the piston while in maintenance mode . compress piston straight in . appreciate anyone's insight on mazda 6 2017 ? thanks

Thanks for the great vid, do you know if you need to be in service mode to bleed the breaks? or can it be done like a normal bleed?

Thank you Sir!

I just did this job. I reactivate the electronic brake Nd I can then run for Boy -0 seconds then shut off. I release the gas pedal and electronic brake button but the red “BRAKE” light stays blinking. I did the disconnect electronic brakes then reconnect sequence again and same thing

Do you pump the brakes before trying to exit service mode to seat the pads?
