Let*s see if I can post these again.........
I don*t know why, they appear to upload fine.
Before Anchorman can re-upload his pdf files, here is a related thread you can review. CX-9 should have similar procedures and you should try the maintenance mode for rear brakes. Just make sure don't turn the rear caliper piston like other rear disc brakes.Could you please try uploading those pdf's again? Thank you.
I have the 2016 cx-9 awd...I am assuming it also has the maint mode to go to before retracting the rear caliper piston?
..trying to do the rear pads and a brake fluid change at the same time in the 2016 cx-9 awd. Going to first change rear passenger pads and then add new brake fluid and push out old fluid from that caliper (by using a motive bleeder) and then do the driver side rear pads and brake fluid bleed there. then front pass side bleed and driver side bleed. No need to change front pads -- only the rears.
This is the first time doing these on the 2016 cx-9 awd. Anything to watch out for? Thank you guys.
(Didn't see a cx-9 thread on these. Please link me if there is one that I missed.)
Thanks to these forums, I was able to replace rear pads on 2016 cx 9 Thank You!!
I can confirm getting into and out of Maintenance mode works the same on 2016 cx9 awd (followed the procedure posted here)
Also of note:
Only retract piston just enough to fit the new pads. Then if the piton notch is not at the correct alignment, then you won't be able to close the caliper (because it will hit the button (raised) on the back of the pad) and then you can make the slight rotation to correct alignment.
(If the piston is pushed in more than necessary to the point there is too much of a gap... then you may not realize misalignment of the piston notch and the bump on the pad back. I've read in the other thread (I think) that someone had issues the pad bump getting hit by the piston notch. It could be that the piston notch was off alignment and that might have been the reason for that problem.
After getting out of Maintenance mode, pump brakes to get the piston to push the pads. Note: Instructions also say to pump brakes!!
Ive added the pdfs for changing the pads. It is fairly straight forward but be careful not to turn the piston while pushing it back into the calliper.
My mechanic changed the rear brake pads on my 2016 CX-5 sport last July. He used the 1624 part # for the rear pads. Is this part # ok for th 2016 CX-5 Sport?
I believe your rear disk brake problem could be either the garage didn’t put the EPB in Maintenance Mode at first, or they rotated the caliper piston, or could be both.Hi everyone. Not sure if I should make a new thread but maybe you can help me here.
I own a mazda cx-5 from november 2015. It has EPB
Recently I had my read disc brakes and pads changed at a local garage. The disc brakes were doing a lot of noise so probably they were overused.
While changing them the garage took almost a full day to change them because, according to them, the brakes were so damaged that the rear brakes were so hard to remove and it caused a problem with the EPB. Now my EPB is malfunctioning. In order to release it, I have to turn off the car and turn it on again. If you activate it, you cannot deactivate it until you turn on and off again.
Not only that but sometimes I smell a huge burnt smell, which I believe it means that they are partially activating while driving.
Is it possible that the garaged has not enter in maintenance mode and therefore damaged the pistons as described in this thread? Or maybe something different
Is the garage right and that was caused because the disc brakes were overused?
How do you believe that I should proceed with the conversations with the garage? They have told me that repair the EPB is about 400 pounds per each brake because they are expensive pieces.
Thank you very much for your help
Edit: This is the reply from the garage after I asked what problems they found.
We used mazda procedure to put the parking break in maintenance mode. The calipers went back correctly , however when exited maintenance mode the caliper keeps showing the parking brake warning. When put on the diagnostic machine it kept on showing the faults with the caliper actuators sticking.
We the received the procedure to put the parking brake mode from mazda dealers technical information.
Dollars to donuts that the indie shop had little or no experience with newer Mazdas and the EPB system.Recently I had my read disc brakes and pads changed at a local garage. The disc brakes were doing a lot of noise so probably they were overused.

Any idea about how much would that usually be in a Mazda dealer?Dollars to donuts that the indie shop had little or no experience with newer Mazdas and the EPB system.
They'll never admit it of course, but they probably added to the original problem.
There's not a lot of Mazdas out there to begin with, and even less Mazdas out there that are less than five years old (with EPB) that need a rear brake job already.
If one of those comes into an independent repair shop, I'm willing to bet they've never seen one, and that they just jump in there without reading a manual, and just tear apart the rear brake system without knowing about the maintenance mode.
Most of these guys just revert to what they think they know, and try to push back the piston like they would in older calipers. "How hard can it be?"
For me, I think there's only two choices with rear brakes at this point in time: pay the money and have a dealer do it, or if you have the skills and pertinent knowledge, do it yourself.
The only way I would trust an indie shop with my newer Mazda to do a rear brake job is if I bring them a copy of the FSM pertaining to the rear brake replacement procedure.
I would remind them in particular on the maintenance mode requirements.
Even then, I'd be nervous.
Hard to tell how much it’ll cost you at a Mazda dealer in UK. But in the US each rear calipers cost $173.92 / $176.54 USD (R / L) on list price. You need other parts such as motor seal kits and brake hose gaskets provided your EPB motors didn’t get damaged by the shop. Please read the TSB with the link provided above, and it explains the factory caliper problems in detail with parts list you need to fix the problem. If the shop did the brake job actually screwed up your rear brakes, you either have to fight with better knowledge, or go through consumer-right channels such as BBB in the US to complain. Or you just have to eat the money you’d spent, and find a better brake shop or a Mazda dealer to fix your rear brakes.Any idea about how much would that usually be in a Mazda dealer?
I suppose that it will be quite hasta to find a garage with access to the revised parts
Ive added the pdfs for changing the pads. It is fairly straight forward but be careful not to turn the piston while pushing it back into the calliper.
You can find 3 out of 5 pdf files from Mazda CX-5 Workshop Manual here:Where are these pdfs? I need to change my rear pads soon.
