Hello..my first post, won't be the last. I would like to do a brake job (routine maintenance) on my CX 5. It only has 31k miles on it and the dealer wanted to charge me $265 to do it. That seemed expensive given the parts only add up to roughly 120 bucks. So I started researching and saw several posts on CX 5 up to the 2016 but nothing after. Does anyone know if it's the same process with the EBS and maintenance mode etc?
I have done brakes myself on my motorcycles and other cars/trucks I have owned but none were as new or had EBS to deal with. My fear is that I will need some sort of factory tuning/reset tool to deal with the computer. I hope not but since I cannot find anything to definitively tell me otherwise I am hesitant to attempt it only to have to to take it back to the dealer in the end. I may suck it up and buy a 90 dollar repair manual in PDF. BUT before I do that..if anyone has some insight it would be SUPER appreciated. I will be sure to pass it along to the next guy I promise.
Thanks have a great day.
