This is a step by step walkthrough for the 2020-22 KIA Telluride AWD rear brake pads and rotors with the EPB (ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE) I did not use any sort of ECU tool or diagnosis tool, manually backed the EPB up and contracted the caliper piston.

Thank you for uploading this! This is really helpful. Cheers from Norway 🙂
So I was able to get this done but after driving it I have an odd noise when braking. Sounds similar to the e brake when engaging. Anyone have any idea? Any help thank you
Worked perfectly on my sportage, Saved me 400 dollar.
Does the electronic brake reset itself back into position or did you manually put it back to its original position ?!
Any body have issues with the epb light coming on after doing this?
9 volt battery… There are other video showing that you can use a 9-volt battery or a 12 volt drill battery to get the electric parking brake motor to retract itself now.
But this video is good to watch to see how everything else is done. Also if you're not comfortable putting a battery to the parking brake then this video is good for manual retraction.
Just an FYI, any brakes you buy at Advanced or any other local shop are complete garbage. Dealt with them for years and I always try to avoid them…. my OEMs ACDelco parts lasted 6 yearand multiples in miles compared to these junky parts. These last 2 years with very light driving.
Thanks for putting this video together. It helped me understand how to retract the caliper pistons on our 2020 telluride!
Thanks for the great video. I just finished doing just the rear pads. EPB is much easier if you jump 12v to it (after confirming polarity) and run it in while using a caliper compressor (no need to remove it from the caliper bracket). I had a cheap caliper compressor and since the caliper doesn't need to be rotated (like VW & Audi) you could even use a "C" clamp as long as you don't press against the EPB cover. Quickest brake job ever. Of course I did all the other usual brake job stuff.
kudos on putting this video together, extremely helpful and wouldn't have tried doing the brakes myself without seeing it first, thanks again….
Interesting I always thought it was sketchy to remove the epb motor thing lol but I’m sure there are ways to put it in service mode for real where the epb disengages itself so you can just compress the piston normally. I just don’t know how to on a Kia since I work at Toyota
Just hit 46k on my Telluride, just noticed my brakes squeeking and grinding. I'm glad I watched this video
Hard video to follow with the camera moving constantly and at bad angles. Plus you fast forwarded through a lot. You NEED to find someone to do the camera work (and hold it steady) while you work on the car.
Help !! Please!!
Thanks for posting this! If you have a 12v source you can use alligator clips attached to the spade connecors on the epb motor plug. Make sure the polarity is correct, if the caliper piston comes out when you connect your 12v source, just reverse the polarity and you can spin out the epb. Then you can press the caliper piston inwards like normal. Cheaper than a $6000 scan tool. Cars are getting way too over complicated.
Thanks bud, good video
Thank u and parts are hard to find
Good job on showing how to doing the brakes the only thing that I would recommend is first pull out the calipers slide pins clean off the old grease and re lube they with the proper high temperature grease make sure that they slide in and out freely and that the rubber boots are not torn or damaged and second get a brake fluid exchange or replacement every 3 to 4 years or around 75,000 miles to get the worn out and heat soaked brake fluid out of your systems that in the calipers area and the ABS motor areas this is a good maintaince tip if you plan on keeping your vehicle or if you live in a severe climate area or because of the temperature changes hot to cold, again good job on your video presentation
This was really helpful. Well done
