I have a 2018 toyota camry XSE with power assisted parking brake. I just removed the actuator which is 2 allen screws then used a clamp to provide pressure. And where the actuator goes into (looks to be about 15 splines) which an allen wrench fits into, just back it off as you squeez the clamp. To reinstall just line up the splines and put screws back in. There is no information about the Toyota XSE that i could find so i had to figure it out. There maybe another way but thats what worked for me. Took less than 10 minutes once i got it figured out.

Eric, next time your'e at the breakers yard just cut yerself a connector and a length of loom from the brake motor on a car Then you can easily lash that up to a booster pack and wind the motor on or off without any expensive scan tools. Also the recovery guy could make good use of this hack, especially where the fire dept. have cut the battery cable to for safety to stop fires in wrecks etc. He then cannot easily move vehicles as the parking brake may be locked on without any means to disable it.

I'm literally buying a 1, 000 scan tool so I can continue to do my own work! Had to take a 2016 ford edge in to have it plugged in for a wiper motor diagnoses. Crazy theres codes for wiper motors lol. anyways im looking at the 906 autel so ill have bi-direct controls and all the service fetures to do my own stuff. have a hard time trusting other people with my vechiles lol. Crazy how much ive had to learn to do so. challenged to say the least lol.

It's sad the avg Joe wont be able to DO work on their vehicles. I'd like to see u do a Prius Gen3 or 4 brake job. I saw a video where a young guy wanted to paint his calipers. Didnt disconnect battery & popped the caliper bc of degenerative braking. A true hero for posting so others dont make the same mistake. During COVID, I've been watching ur! Thanks! I missed ur brake clean sound effects.

There is a workaround by the way, I did brakes on an Audi A5 which is essentially just VW. Unplug the caliper and add 12v (power probe) to the caliper electric motor, hold until it stops and then compress the piston as normal. If it doesnt go in it means you have to switch polarity on the electric motor when you add power to it.

What does a scan tool do so special for the brake job? Does it just releases the parking brake? In that case one would have to pull connector off and apply proper voltage to proper pins and job is done. At least that is how I see it, system cannot be that much more complicated.

Wasn't the original intention of a parking brake, to be used as an EMERGENCY BRAKE. like to stop the car in an emergency?
What happens if there is an electrical failure? It's like wiring the emergency stop switch through a microcontroller-you just don't do it.

Hey bud you have some great vids and I was wondering why my friends 89 gmc pickup doesn't have brake light it's got blinkers and parking lights I checked fuses and looked at the ground it looks good and he replaced the break switch but still no break lights

There are a few items out there that are app based. Carista is one that charges about 10 for use for a week and it supports the brake service. It has other decent features too that make it worth the one time charge.
