Not my typical video. Trying to add some useful information that I couldn't find on KZfaq about electronic parking brake for the Chevy Traverse. Maybe this will help out some Chevy owners.

I will be replacing all of my brake pads and this video is a great help for those of us that actually have a electronic parking actuator module. This is my baby and so I want to take great care of it when handling sensitive electronic component. The worse thing you or anyone can do is destroying it by not researching it and they just go and start tearing things apart without knowing what can really go south quickly and will cost you an even bigger problem. Thank you very much for providing this great video guide that I have been looking for. These parts aren't cheap, so take great care of them when servicing it yourself. I much rather play it safe then sorry. I just got a recent code for right parking barrage actuator high voltage when I went to use my diagnostic scanner. It detected a problem with the parking brake actuator. Says it needed recalibrate probably because my brake pads are worn out. For now I just clear the code only until I get all the new pads in then I will go ahead and recalibrate it back to manufacturer spec. These electronic parking brake actuator are picky and prone to going out if you use it too often when it is unnecessary on a flat surface. They're only meant to be use temporary when you are parking in a steep incline road. They're not meant to be use all the time on flat surface road. I just found out a hard lesson to never use then unless it is necessary only in steep hill parking and not on flat road that are ground zero level.

Thank you for making this video, this saved me from having to pay hundreds of dollars to the dealer. I do most all of my own maintenance , (although I know my limits). I used this process on my wife’s 22 Chevy Blazer RS and this worked flawlessly! Thanks again!

This is the kinda videos that could be going viral. Not all that other dumb stuff. Great video dude. Helped me alot

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, All these other guys have you taking apart the entire brake but yours is quick and to the point….

Thank you. This was an excellent video. Changed the rear pads in about 30 min start to finish.

Worked for a 2020 Acadia - Thanks for the help!!

I tried this procedure on my 2023 Trailblazer to see if it works and it does Thanks 😊

Worked like a charm. 2019 Traverse. E brake releases, c clamp to compress piston. Thank you

Thank you ! Fellow 2020 chevy traverse owner !

Great video! Worked perfectly with my 2020 traverse.

Thank youuuu !!!

good help

Going to use this on my Blazer.

good to know thanks .

Thanks allot. I have a 23 traverse. I was worried in spending around $400 for something I can do myself

Nice video. Does this procedure also work for the 2021 2022 and 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer?

Did you shut car off when changing rear pads? Or did you leave it running the whole time?

Hí sir, when you set the park to put everything back, you press the brake then pull the botton to put the e brake and hold it, do you remove the brake pedal or wait until its all set? Thank you and I hope you understand what i mean..

I’m going to give this a shot. Does it stay in service mode still once you turn the car off?

Just got a 2021 Traverse and havent had to change the breaks yet but liked the vid for future reference. I did habe a question and wondering if u had any experience with this . So a few times I've gotten in the car , realized breaks have beem engaged or turned on without me doing it !! Bc i only use it when parking on a hill or something.. I've seen online some people have had same issue and many say its mentioned somewhere in the book but i couldn't find anything.. Only thing i can think of, they gave me three months free onStar trial and sometimes i have lokced or unlocked the car or turn it on/off and thinking maybe that's whats doing it .. Any thoughts? Thank you for ur vid, short and to the point im sure ill appreciate it more when its time to work in the breaks

Wonder if this will work on a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox?

Will I have to leave a reference to this video in my owner's manual. Can't think of any reason GM would have designed a system like this with such a convoluted procedure other than to try to prevent people from doing brake jobs on their own car at home, without a $10,000 scan tool.

Does your Traverse automatically set the parking brakes, when car is in park and not running?

I can’t get this to work for 2018. Any ideas? On Traverse.

So looks like you keep the vehicle running for the whole process?

What will happen if you don’t put the brake back on

does it work on a 2018 traverse?

Will it work on 2018
