Boy, you're lucky! Give us some tricks how did you trigger the EPB warning lights?Just spoke with my Mazda dealer. The revised/updated EBP module is on order and will be here tomorrow morning.

lol I wish I knew. I noticed yesterday morning first thing. I do use my brake every time I park. I know some people don't do that.
i'd like to see a poll on EPB usage.... maybe i'll set one up if I feel inclined...
maybe something like:
1- I use EPB all the time
2- I use EPB when temps are above freezing
3- I sometimes use EPB
4- I never use EPB
Yeah that'd be interesting. I bought my cx5 back in Sept 2015, I have used by EPB every time.
May be a bit late. We should also find out if one release the EPB manually or just press the gas padel and let the system release it by itself?i'd like to see a poll on EPB usage.... maybe i'll set one up if I feel inclined...

So I get in my car today, go to release the parking brake and it's blinking orange. The actual electronic parking brake. Then I look up and on the dashboard, the red parking light is flashing red and then there was the orange one lit up. Tried turning the car on and off, nothing. Anyway, dropped it off at Mazda and they gave me a rental. They said they've never seen this before. Ughh.
Has anyone seen this before? Hoping just something electrical. Brakes actually still worked so I'm hoping electrical and not mechanical. Either way, not good to have this happen so early on.
Re-starting this thread! I have a similar problem with my emergency brake lights coming on. I just bought a used Mazda cx-5 from a mazda dealership in california. Car drove great during the test drive and the 75+ miles back to my house. However, 3 days later I found myself driving at dusk and when I went to turn on my headlights, both parking lights came on as well. Now, every time I turn on my headlights, regardless of the car being in drive or parked, both emergency parking brake lights come on and dont go away unless I turn the car and headlights off and start the car again.
This seems to be an electrical issue and i'm wondering if this would fall under a warranty? The car only has 39k miles on it as well...
Although your description of Electrical Parking Brake problem is strange, but if your CX-5 is 2016 / 2016.5 MY, your EPB problem should be related to EPB dragging issue caused by rear brake calipers. There're several TSBs for this EPB dragging issue because Mazda didn't figure out what was the root cause in the beginning. Mazda started to replace EPB control module with software fix, as indicated in TSB 04-005/16, just like cylinder deactivation issue with software fix on first try, and thiss what you saw in this thread for OP. Eventually Mazda have to revise the rear brake calipers to fix the dragging problem as indicated in TSB R052/16C.My bad, I was distracted at work while typing this. When I turn my headlights on, both of the parking brake lights on my dashboard come on. The parking brake doesnt engage until the car has been turned off. Only then am I able to press the parking brake button and disengage the parking brake lights on my dashboard. I hope this helps!
