The dealer warned me of doing the rear breaks on my 2016 cx5. Said something about maintenance mode and the electric parking break. Can anyone help a brother out in regards to this?

be careful not to turn the piston while pushing it back into the calliper.
If your dealer thinks you have problem on Electrical Parking Brake, show them the TSB R052/16C about EPB and have them check it out hopefully perform it for free.The dealer warned me of doing the rear breaks on my 2016 cx5.

TSB R052/16A you mentioned and R052/16B for "Noise from REAR BRAKE/Trace of Rear Brake Dragging" which would replace the EPB control unit are out of date.
The latest TSB R052/16C which will replace the rear calipers、discs、and pads with revised parts due to the rear brake dragging resulting in overheating、noise and the outer disc pad abnormally worn out. Now Mazda believes the culprit is the poorly designed rear brake calipers for EPB, not the EPB control unit.
I believe the difference is the EPB. The video you posted is for non-EPB rear brake.wait, I don't understand, I thought the rear pistons have to be turned clockwise with the Lisle #28600 tool to retract it ?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.
and it's important for the grooves the end up lined up per Anchorman's PDF's ..... am I missing something ? why does the instructions say not to turn the rear piston if that's the only way to retract it ?

Really appreciate Anchorman posting valuable PDF files for rear brake service with EPB. This piece of information is what I need as the copy of my CX-5 service manual is from 2015 CX-5 which doesn't have the EPB.

guys, I just tried this and it does work, thanks Anchorman, this helped a lot. I know, the instructions are a bit scary to press down the accelerator pedal fully, DO NOT START YOUR ENGINE. all this is done with the engine off. do not press brake pedal and start button.
note: for ignition ON (engine off), for the CX-5, you have to press the start button TWICE, pressing once only gives you ACC power
also, I don't have the tech package so the info LCD didn't say "maintenance mode"
BUT the parking brake with exclamation point dash light did light up.
I'll post a video later to show you guys, this pertains to 2016 and 2017 CX-5's only..
it's pretty cool, once maintenance mode is activated, you can here the motor retract a very long time,
and vice versa when deactivated, you can hear the motor push out until the piston touch the brake pads.
for those with EPB,
DO NOT TURN OR TRY TO COMPRESS THE PISTONS WITHOUT GOING INTO MAINTENANCE MODE,
you will damage the EPB motor.
The purpose of the maintenance mode is to back off the EPB motor so you can compress the pistons easily (DO NOT TURN THE PISTON)
I can see how it is tempting for someone who doesn't know about these EPB to use the Lisle 28600 tool to try and turn them back in BUT IT WILL NOT WORK, the motor will not allow it, forcing it with a C-clamp will break the EPB motor. The motor must be backed off first with the procedure below.
I believe the dealer can use a scan tool computer to have the car enter EPB maintenace mode, but at least Mazda gave us an option for those who don't like going to the dealership with this procedure below. Without this procedure we would be at the mercy of the dealer to get the EPB motor to retract if we wanted to replace rear brake pads.

Thanks for your attached files. Notice you are in UK.with diesel. Just did rear brakes on a 16.5 CX-5 Touring FWD in US."Maintenance Mode" does not appear on my dash cluster but an icon showing a padlock with image of car repeatedly flashes (this icon is not in manual, so assume it is for service personnel). Might be European models have different software for "Maintenance Mode" than US cars. Thanks again for your direction.
