You just saved my butt! This was driving me nuts after doing my brakes! Thank you so much!

Great video! I broke a seal trying to turn the piston in not realizing I had to put it in service mode. Found this video and it was a game changer.

Method worked great. EPB released like you said. No different than older model brake pad changes. Thanks!

worked like a charm...had a bunch of dash lights come on after though. Used OBDII scanner to clear and didn't work at first...then messed with some settings and managed to clear the code with ignition on but engine off mode. Now running like normal again

Thank you! I went out at lunch and tried to set the brake maintenance mode and it worked! 2017 GMC Acadia Denali. Now to go home and do the rear breaks.

I was searching for this video little more than two month ago.After replacing front brakes and rotors,got limp mode ,check engine light, service brake system message,and no brake booster.Deleted check codes with Launch,one by one,limp mode and messages gone itself,but still have check popping up every week or two since..Now I'm not scary to replace rear ones.Thank you very much. P.C. I'm not greedy person,but really cannot agree with price for brake service at local dealer,specially if I did this "simple" job since I bought my first car 30 years ago.Thanks again for shearing your experience.

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful, I saw the same issue with the inside pads & also noticed not all the clips were installed & the inside clips had spring tabs broken off. Fitting the new pads, they needed some grinding on the ends to make them fit and give the a little “float”.

I’m at 37k miles and need new ones, mine is shaking like crazy when I brake so I’m doing them today. Thank you!

Awesome video man All the in and outs for anyone with a Silverado no matter the engine the 2.7l,3.0l the 5.3l & 6.2l easy job without the dealer telling you that $800 is owed for a brake job 😅

I just confirmed it, it’s the same for 2023 Tahoe. Thank you!!

Thanks for the information, keep teaching me more things. I have had my Silverado z71 for almost a year. I need to change the front brakes. You have to do the same procedure.

Very helpful and great job explaining the process

Worked on a 2022 traverse LT! Thank you

Thanks for sharing this information,, please keep it up .

Just had my winter tires put on at the dealer and I was told that I needed a complete brake job...I found it very hard to believe it since I only have 35,000 Km on the truck....but after watching several videos on YT , it appears that the brakes are due for replacement for most people with roughly the same amount of mileage...even my sensor says I've got 82% brake pad life left... shocking! Great vid! Thanks for the brake service mode tip

Great video thank you. FYI the inner pad wears faster from using hill assist

First newer truck and Maintenance sucks. Thanks for this video bud

Worked like a charm on a 2021 GMC Sierra Elevation...THANK YOU !!!

2021 Chevy Traverse wearing the inside pad extremely fast. I have pads and just have not put them on yet. 30K miles. Thanks

Just finished the pad replacement and yeah the pad with the wear sensor was pretty much down to nothing and the outside pad was like new. Got 40k miles out of it. Easiest brake job I’ve ever done.

I must be lucky. 21 Silverado with 71,000km. Zero brake issues to speak of.. but my friend did warn me about this “brake service mode” you have to put the truck in. His truck went into limp mode and he said the dealer charged him $400 to fix it

My 2019 AT4 rear pads wore exactly like yours, also all of the stainless steel retaining clips had also broke! Thanks for the video, big help!

Did a brake service on a 2023 suburban and this worked

Life saver with this brake service mode.. thnax!! My insides were completely gone while the outsides looked brand new.. curious what would cause that?? Anyway.. thanx so much for your help!! Niagara falls Canada here in my 2019 with only 33,000 kms!!

Same! 2021 AT4, 100,000km on the truck and it’s in need of a second rear brake replacement. Same thing, pad with sensor is worn right down to nothing and the outboard pad is at 50% at least. Front brakes are still around 75%. Brake monitoring system is junk. Hoping aftermarket pads and rotors this time helps. Braking system is junk. With a heavy load, these “performance brakes” don’t seem to stop the truck well at all. Was starting to wonder if a per portioning valve or something hasn’t worked properly since new and caused the rear brakes to do most the braking as opposed to the front. Glad someone has the same issue as me so I know I’m not the only one!

Why does everything have to be electronic. Keep it the way it was

Thanks for the video, 2019 52,000KMs inside Pad on drivers side wore down to Metal, rest of the pads only 1/2 wore.

Very helpful Sir. What’s up with your fuel mileage though? Do you tow with it a lot?

My truck wore the pads on the inside much faster as well. My wife has a 2019 Acadia and hers did the same. With her car I pulled the slides out (where the caliper bolts on) and cleaned them and re-greased them with anti seize and it fixed it on her vehicle, so I will do the same with my Silverado. Seems like GMC uses crappy grease on the slides from the factory.

Thanks for shareing

Man i appreciate this bro. did you end up changing your rotors as well??

I just watched another video about changing pads and his inside (where the wear sensor is) was much more wore like yours. His was actually wore right down but outside looked exceptional, weird.

Yes. I have a 2019 Sierra. Inside brake pads wore away much faster.

It worked on a 2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali, have to release foot brake as soon as yellow light flashes, if wait too long it disappears

I do have a question. Do you need to put your truck in “brake service mode” to do the front brakes or just the rear? I must be lucky. 2020 Silverado 84,000 miles and I am just getting ready to change the brakes now, for the first time. I bought the truck with 7 miles on it. All of them wore evenly. Great video helped a lot!

Thank You!

I’m on my thrid set of brakes and rotors at 93xxxkms. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do the rotors warp after about a month. And as u know they ain’t cheap to replace

Yes I did I just forgot to add that into the video

New 24 Silverado 400 miles. Have the service parking brake light on randomly… any thoughts? Reboot engine, light disappear in a minute. Came back on driving 10-20min… also randomly combine a “service transmission now, unable to shift soon”. Car drives fine…

Hi do you know what do i have to do if i changed the front pads without knowing this before

Early in the morning I get a rubbing sound on my 2021 Silverado not bad as soon as I applied the brakes I don’t here it anymore brought it back they said they regressed the pins it lasted all summer now it does it again any suggestions thanks

Worked great for me. I ha to hold the button on the dash much longer for it to release.

It was easier & quicker doing it this way then trying to use the scan tool. Much obliged!

Did my front brakes on my 2020 Trail Boss and found the inner pad wore faster than the outer (of course the one with the sensor on it)

2020 trail boss with the same brake issue at only 23000 miles though.

My 2019 gmc terrain once I release the break after the service light comes on and I release the parking button and hit it again it doesn't stay lit

yes inboard pad worn out and outer pads lots of life left in them... found the inboard pad seized in anchor plate, Had to pry the inboard bad out of anchor, also noted no signs of any silicone brake lube on brake pad ears .

Worked on a 2019 gmc acadia

How did you reset the brake pad life meter on the dash after you changed them?

2021 GMC Sierra 1500...have the same rear brake pad condition ....inside pad wore to almost nothing ...outside pad like new...i am going to try to do myself as dealer wants $700...will let you know if i am successful :)

Does the rear caliper have to be rotated to compress the piston or just a straight compression with a c - clamp? Thanks

Question please help. A shop replaces the pads and rotors. Now wear passenger aide wheel is making a moaning noise when I drive. They said idk….dealer re calibrated the brake or whatever and it went away and came back a day later. They replaced the actuator , nothing, now they’re saying it’s the module which is a 1,000 fix I don’t think that’s true ….how did a shop just simply change my brakes and rotors cause so much trouble ?

how did u fix pads wearing out uneven

I was wondering does the check engine light come on or the abs light they were telling me if I change I would have to take to dealership to rest the brake life on dash I have a 2021 Silverado

My '19 Chevy Trailboss rear pads wore out the same as yours (48K miles). Have about a dime thickness remaining on inside (new outside), but rotor inside is grooved bad, not sure why if some pad is remaining. I wasn't aware of the brake service mode, so now I have a few codes to deal with. Truck is in limp mode and no power brakes. Should I disconnect/connect the battery and hope for the best?

Will this works for 2022 Silverado refreshed models? Thank you

How to do it if I have push bottom not the key ?

Does anyone know if this would work for just removing one rear side brake? I have a couple of wheel studs that are bad and need to be replaced, and I know that you would have to remove the caliper and rotor to get to it. THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

Stupid question, can all 4 wheels be done.? Not just the rears? Thx

Think this method will work on a 2020 chevy 2500?

I got the 'Service Brake Monitor' code that was popping up and then checked my brakes...rear pads AND rotors are gone at 32k miles. The wear indicator fell apart and was stuck in the pad and ground grooves into the rotors. Outside pads were like brand new. Hopefully Chevy puts out a TSB or recall on this.

wow thx mister gg

Hey I was wondering did you rest your brake pad life?

Does your truck have a brake pad life indicator? If so, how much pad life was showing when the pad started scraping the rotor?

Do you have to do that to do front brakes

I just did the pads and rotors on a 2019 high country. I didn't even know this service mode existed. So I did the 4 wheel brake job without being in service mode. Everything went well except the torx heads stripping out. So now the truck has a really hard pedal but barely any brakes with a abs and brake light on. So what's the process to getting it back to normal.

Please help disable service mode on Cadillac SRX 2014? The car now always has a blinking service mode indicator. How to turn it off (((???

Pads always wear more/faster on the side with piston

Will this work on a 2019 impala as well?

I have 2021 gmc sierra HD Denali 3500 duramax DRW not sure if that matters but you at least know what it is. I tired this I can get it to flash. But Then it goes out after a couple flashes. I’ve tried to the press/release method of the park brake button you stated and still doesn’t stay in service mode. So it’s like it hasn’t fully in engage into service mode. I don’t want to ruin anything.

Only thing is make sure the Parking Brake is off before starting the process…took me about an hour to realize why it wasn’t working

Mine went down to 14% and then started screeching. Only did the front. Got a brake system failure message.😮 Max speed i could drive was only 62mph. Scary with limited brakes. Took it by a shop, guy cleared codes and also bled brakes with scan tool. Thank goodness, back to normal, thought i was going to have to to dealership to reset dash service message. Cant figure iut how to reset, % of pad life left???

2021 GMC Sierra...I was successful using this procedure for my rear brakes. No codes or lights when I took it out of service mode. Only hiccup was after taking it out of service mode I got the message " New brake pads detected. Would you like to reset brake life monitor" (or something to that effect) I clicked yes but nothing was reset. Went to brake life monitor and wasn't able to reset it there either. There is a line for "rear brake pads installed" but clicking it does nothing (It's not highlighted). It kept repeating the earlier warnings. I disabled the monitor until I can find a fix (very limited info online for this issue) Anyone know of a fix? Very disappointed in GMC as this truck only had 24000 miles on it and it's a lease with 3 months left. Rear brakes should last longer than the fronts which are still good. Also the rotors were shot even though there was still pad (minimal) left. Not happy...:(

How about a 2019 Chevy equinox would it work on that?

Exact same thing happened on my 22 sierra at 40k km

Worked to release the park brake but once I was done and took it out of service mode my dash lit up like an Xmas tree. It’s in limp mode. Can’t go over 42, service trailer brake system and service esc

How do you resent the sensor?

I have a 2020 did this procedure. Tried to exit service mode and it doesn't work. The service light is solid now, no flashing. Any advice?

dude this is crazy i have the same problem i just finished changing my pads and rotors. I have a 2020 GMC sierra 1500 drivers side rear inside pad was at the metal and out side was at like 60%. It was the same for the right side too i only have 26,000 miles. There should be a recall because this to me is a manufacture defect.

Pad wear is from the traction control.

will this work on a 2019 GMC Acadia?

2021 Sierra 40,000 km and mine did the same , side pad on one side down to about 3mm , the other inside was about 6mm , all others over 8mm almost like new , just had them done today , contacted gm to complain dealer knocked $230 off , next time ill do my own .obviously something wrong with manufacturing , putting junk parts on

Can you damage the caliper if you do not put the parking brake in service mode?

Release the foot of the brake release you're foot off the button 😅😂😂😂😂. Well sir? Use my foot or finger lol

I changed front pads and RF pad sensor wire on a 2022 1500 3.0L. Now the Brake, ABS, Traction Control, and Engine lights all came on. The brake pedal has to be pushed hard for it to stop, like a power booster went out. And it's in "limp mode" and will not drive over 43mph! The SnapOn scan tool says must disconnect the Brake Fluid Reservoir Sensor Wire to do a six step sequence for automated bleed. You can barely see it let alone touch it. I scanned it and tried erasing all the codes but that still didn't help. Do you have any ideas how to get the brake pedal back to normal, take it out of limp mode and erase all the lights on the dash?

Do you have a video on how to reset the brake pad life?

How to reset the brake percentage

Actually it does work without the truck running just press the start button for 10 sec or so and then do what he did no need to have the engine running

What do you do if you didn't put it in service mode before taking off pads??

did i have to do the service mode befare i change the breaks? cuz i already change the brake and it give me like 3 diferents lights which is Service ESC/ Sevice Trailer Brake System/ Service Brake Assist/ Service Brake Pad Monitor and one that said 43 mph something. help.

Works on 21 Yukons too

Yes inside pad much worse than outside...indicative of insufficient floating or equaling through the caliper's own brace to the other side or pad.

The brake pads wearing unevenly is a GM thing I have a 07 GMC Sierra GMT 900 and I’ve had that happen to me a few times

I have a 2019 and had the same thing happen

Can I bypass the wear sensor by just tying the wires together?

How about a brake assit ligh

My inside pods was zero when outside almost new. 56000 miles

Whys oil pressure gauge go to 800??? And temperature gauge only 125?????

Works to turn it on. Won't turn it off for me

Does this work for 2020 Blazer
