hi scotty im from ireland and well i have a problem my toyota avensis 2014 has a epb (electronic parking brake) and well i need new pads but there is a right way to do it its just im not sure what way to do it as well if do something wrong will loose zero point in the configuration plus i have heard that others say that do not configure the epb as will brick my epb system. other i have read online is i need to have constant power going to the battery as uses power the car when u have a certain time to replace the pads plus this includes cleaning and preparing nthe calibers for ne pads .sounds like a nightmare i just wondering whats the right way i should do to change my pads. i have a autel md802 which has the settings to work on epb system as can wind back the pistons but someone online told me its not a good idea as will not get the epb system working right
No the Avensis is unrelated to the Camry.
the Avensis is actually based on the old European version of the Corolla (Toyota Auris) - the closest thing to that car that is sold in the US is the E210 Toyota Corolla.
I’d advise you to go to a skilled mechanic or the Toyota dealer. I would NEVER risk playing around with the breaking system.
but if you choose to do it by your self, at your own risk, use the proper procedure as shown by Scotty.
well i have to disagree with you as the toyota Camry in the us looks like a version of the 2009 avensis here same size and all .plus i had a corolla when i was in canada and was nothing like the toyota avensis i have now and plus that video you show there my rear brake calibers are different than that video as on mine it still looks like a regular caliber but instead of a handbreak its got a button and well when the button is pushed something pulls a cable that pulles on the handbreak
The Camry (of that era) is based on the K platform, The Avensis on the “new MC” platform.
They’re fully unrelated cars, neither they do share engines.
I said the EUROPEAN corolla - the Auris.
well either way im trying to change my rear break pads and the video is different looking calipers as i dont have any electric motor on my calipers but a arm that is connected to a motor somewhere else i guess. i have seen so many vidoes online about changing rear pads on a toyota but one says use a ob2 tool to wind back the pistons so can cahnge the pads then can use the ob2 tool to tell car to wind piston back out again .im just wondering will this loose zero point of the epb settings making problems in the car .so many different ways just wondering what is the right way
