In this video I show you how to replace your brakes on a 2013-2019 Ford Escape (Kuga) The pad replacement and rotor replacement is very typical. If you have done a set of brakes before this one is no different than most but I will walk you through their replacement bolt by bolt.
The rear of a 2017-2019 Escape has an electronic parking brake. I was working on a 2016 so I did not cover this. This is the procedure to put the rear brakes in Maintenance mode:
-Turn the ignition on but don't start the car
-Put the accelerator to the floor and hold it down
-Push and hold DOWN the parking brake lever
-Turn the ignition off
-Turn the ignition on
-Hold the accelerator and parking brake until the vehicle displays Maintenance mode on the information center.
To return the rear brakes to their normal mode:
-Turn the ignition on but don't start the car
-Put the accelerator to the floor and hold it.
-Pull UP on the parking brake
-Turn the ignition off
-Turn the ignition on
-Hold the accelerator and parking brake until you stop hearing noise from the rear calipers. Then pump up the brake pedal and start the vehicle how you normally would.
