This video demonstrates how to enable the dedicated Service Mode for rear brake replacement or service on 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Toyota RAV4 models. The Service Mode will allow you to fully release the electric parking brake without additional tools or software. 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 Rear Brake Pads Part Number: 04466-AZ214. 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 Rear Brake Rotors (Discs) Part Number: 42431-06180.

ENABLING THE SERVICE MODE: 1. Turn the key to the ON position. In the case of vehicles with a push start button, press it twice. 2. Pull the electronic parking brake button 3 times. 3. Push the electronic parking brake button 3 times. 4. Push and hold the electronic parking brake button. You will hear the motors located on the rear calipers of the RAV4 unwinding all the way. IF THE ABOVE SEQUENCE DOES NOT WORK, TRY THIS SEQUENCE INSTEAD: 1. Turn the key to the Ignition ON position. In the case of vehicles with a push start button, press it twice. 2. Press the brake pedal. 3. Pull the electronic parking brake button 3 times. 4. Push the electronic parking brake button 3 times. 5. Release the brake pedal. The Park indicator on the dash should be flashing. 6. Push and hold the electronic parking brake button. You will hear the motors located on the rear calipers of the RAV4 unwinding all the way. Now the parking brake is fully released, and you can service your rear brakes. You will be able to push in the piston all the way without the electric parking brake holding it, or do any other service on the brakes. DISABLING THE SERVICE MODE (Before disabling the service mode, make sure that the rear calipers are fully reinstalled; otherwise, your piston may fall out!): 1. Pull and hold the electronic parking brake button. This will return the electric motor to the proper position. Wait until you stop hearing the parking brake motor noise in the back. 2. Pull the electronic parking brake button once to engage the parking brake. You are done. The difference between using the Service Mode and simply pressing the parking brake button once to disengage the parking brake is that in the Service Mode, the electric parking brake motor gets released completely.
