Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio | ABS Errors After Replacing CCM Rotors and Pads for Girodisc

The CCM rotors and pads on the Giulia QV can cost upwards of $15,000.00 when time to replace. I track Giulia, and since I don't have THAT kind of disposable cash, I decided to replace (preserve) my CCM brakes by installing the Girodisc replacements ( www.girodisc.c... ).
Well, I didn't follow proper procedure for replacing pads/rotors and ended the job with a Bazillion errors message. Here's why:
Without first disconnecting the negative lead, when pushing back the pistons to install newer (thicker) pads, the car will see excessive fluid flow (reseating the pistons/pads) and assume a leak, thus closing the leaking circuits to prevent total-fluid-loss (only two calipers work in this failsafe mode). This causes errors for apparent dependency systems as well.
* To recover from this, use MultiECUscan ( www.multiecusc... ) to connect to the ABS system and clear the codes. This is what I'm showing you how to do in this video.
* To prevent these errors from ever happening during a pad/rotor change (seems to have worked consistently)
-- disconnect the negative battery terminal.
-- perform the pad/rotor service.
-- pump brake pedal to reseat pads/pistons
-- reconnect negative battery terminal
-- perform procedure to clear codes caused by battery disconnect

Thank you, thank you for this. This just happened on my Stelvio when the mechanic changed my pads and rotors on the front and rear. I'm going back to him to show him your video.

@genyosai 10 месяцев назад

You're very welcome. Glad it helped someone!

You can also use a memory saver that connects to OBD2 port, then disconnect the negative cable to the car battery. This should help you get no error codes or check engine light issues.

@@Theycallmebritish I've had to do that before, but only because I was troubleshooting why my park brakes were in error and would not engage. Turns out the shaft in my rear right park brake caliper was broken and couldn't wind the piston. The PB motor just spun continuously which kept the PB system in error.

@genyosai 2 месяца назад

@@Theycallmebritish I diagnosed it myself. Pretty easy considering I could hear the caliper motor spin continuously. I knew which caliper it was, but I wanted to fully test it, so I disconnected the PB caliper harness from the body harness and applied 12v to the pins... reversing polarity to test each motor direction.

Hey bro thanks for the video the only guy that got right down to it and explained it without skipping anything out thr video we can all literally get the part and do the whole process with you in your video big thanks, my question is. Do it have to be the exact same bluetooth one you use or can it be another?

@genyosai 2 месяца назад

Hey! Always happy to help a fellow Alfisti! As far as the BT module... it doesn't HAVE to be the same, but it's the one that I KNOW works with MultiECUScan AND even works for cars that need the security gateway module bypass installed (2018+). Some BT modules don't work when the SGW module is installed, but this one does.

@agent4poyato956 2 месяца назад

@genyosai nice nice so last question, the bypass does it come with the module or do i just download it when i connect the bluetooth?

@genyosai 2 месяца назад

@@agent4poyato956 No. The SGW bypass is a physical module that you have to install in the car. It can be a pain to install (much easier in a Giulia than a Stelvio), but if your car is 2018+ and you're a DIYer... It's an absolute must.

@gongolie 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for your video. I do have a 2017 Giulia TI and a similar error happened to me after doing a break job. My mistake was that I pressed on the brakes when the front calipers were off hoping to release the E-brake to service the rear pads. The front pistons came out a lot and it started leaking brake fluid. The error is still there and car doesn’t want to brake properly. I believe it is currently on that brake safe mode. I’m just waiting for the gray cable to arrive to reset the ABS codes.

@genyosai 5 месяцев назад

@@mamadusylla1027 Yep. Watch the video on how to clear ABS errors after improperly doing a brake job. You'll need MultiECUScan (MES) software, preferably on iOS as I use in the video. You'll also need the gray MES cable to access the ABS module. If your vehicle is a late 2018 or newer, you will need what's called the security gateway bypass module which can be purchased from Alfissimo.

@VegaFIFA Месяц назад

Good info but if you disable the E-Break and put it into break service mode in the infotainment before doing your rear breaks you won’t have this problem

@genyosai Месяц назад

@@VegaFIFA Thanks. But, Actually it takes a bit more than that, but this is for people that learn the hard way that you can't just replace the pads on a QV the way you've changed pads on your other cars. Once you've pushed back the pistons to install the new, thicker pads, you absolutely cannot have the ACC on when you depress the pedal for the first time else the Continental ABS system sees the first time, excessive pedal travel as a fluid leak. Going into break service mode doesn't prevent this. You just have to make sure you pump the brakes before applying the ACC. But then, this tutorial also helps if you've fried your caliper seals and dust boots at the track and have to rebuild your calipers. Ask me how I know 😅😅

@VegaFIFA Месяц назад

@@genyosai wow. Thanks for sharing but now I’m scared to do my rear breaks by myself. I read the instructions on Alfaworkshop and only says “Disable the E-break and put it into break service mode” in order to don’t have this warning lights later 🤷‍♂️

@genyosai Месяц назад

@@VegaFIFA Is your car a Quadrifoglio? Are you also replacing rotors or just pads? If your car is a Quadrifoglio AND you are just replacing pads, you don't need to enter brake service mode because on the Quadrifoglio the e-brake caliper is separate from the brake caliper. If you car is NOT a Quadrifoglio, then your rear caliper is also the e-brake. Either way, you can follow these steps EXACTLY and be safe: "1. Enter Brake Service Mode (Infotainment) 2. Turn off car 3. Pull negative battery terminal 4. Do brake job *** 5. Pump brakes until all new pads are seated 6. Connect negative battery terminal 7. Turn on accessory mode (push start button, but don't start car) 8. Apply brake pedal 9. Toggle Parking Brake 10. Done If any codes are left over, just turn the steering wheel from lock to lock and turn off the car. Let sit for > 30 seconds, turn back on, rinse and repeat turning off/on until codes are gone." --JeFizz {Giulia Forums}

Did you need to install a SGW bypass module to use the MES? I'm dealing with the same issues right now, not sure if i need that module or if the code OBD, MES and Gray cable are all I need?

@genyosai Год назад

Only if your car is late 2018 and up. My Giulia QV is a 2017, so it doesn't have the security gateway module. My 2020 and 2021 Stelvio vehicles require the SGW bypass, which I've installed on both.

@genyosai 8 месяцев назад

@@abelsanchez9664 one thing about the iPhone and the mxLink+ is that the iPhone doesn't automatically connect to the mxLink. This threw me off at first. You need to go into your iPhone Bluetooth settings, find the mxLink in the list, then select it to connect to it. Once it's connected, switch back to MES and make the connection with JUST the mxLink first. After a successful connection, change to the Continental and brake system menu. Then MES will tell you to switch to the gray cable. When you make the switch, you need to change back to the iPhone Bluetooth list to reconnect to the mxLink. Then switch back to MES where it still says to connect the gray cable, then continue.

@patata2002 2 года назад

Thanks for share. If replace the brake calipers for update to 330mm the process will be the same?

@genyosai 2 года назад

Absolutely. Any time you push back the pistons to remove/insert pads, you need to do the following process to AVOID the errors I had to clear in this video: 1. Put brakes into service mode to release the parking brake (if replacing the rear rotors). 2. Disconnect negative battery lead 3. Do the work you need to do After the work is done and everything is back together: 1. Pump the brakes numerous time to ensure the pads have reseated to the rotor!!! This is the most important thing to do BEFORE reconnecting the battery. 2. Reconnect the battery 3. take the car out of brake service mode 4. Start the car, you will have errors due to the battery being disconnected. 5. Turn the wheel lock to lock a couple of times (right, left, right, left, center). 6. Turn the car off, then back on (errors should be cleared). Good luck!

@genyosai 2 года назад

Hi. For most brake codes you'll need the gray adapter to connect to the abs continental system. When you see me plugging in under the dash, I'm plugging into the ODBII diagnostic port. Simply look underneath the dash and it'll be easily visible and accessible. As far as resetting service and oil intervals, I can't remember even though i just performed this task on my car. MES will prompt you for an adapter if necessary, and for service/oil interval it's no adapter or gray. Definitely not another color.
