Caution

• Perform the electric parking brake forced release if the electric parking brake cannot be released by operating the electric parking brake switch or performing a recovery operation using the ignition switch due to a malfunction in the system or a discharged battery.

• Perform a DTC inspection before performing the electric parking brake forced release, and perform the procedure after verifying the malfunctioning location. (See DTC INSPECTION.)

• If the electric parking brake was forced-released, do not reuse the electric parking brake motor gear unit. Always install a new electric parking brake motor gear unit.

• When performing the procedure while the vehicle is on the ground, block the front and rear wheels using wheel blocks. Otherwise, the vehicle may move when the electric parking brake is released.

Note

• The clearance between the disc plate and disc pads is expanded after an electric parking brake forced release, therefore operation of the electric parking brake motor gear unit when the electric parking brake switch is initially operated after the servicing may take longer than normal.

1.Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(US)].)

2.Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3.Disconnect the electric parking brake motor gear unit connector. (See ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE MOTOR GEAR UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Warning

• When removing the bolts, always support the electric parking brake motor gear unit so that a hand does not get caught. Otherwise, it could rotate by the motor counterforce and a hand could get caught causing injury.

4.Remove the bolts.
