TechHub How-To from : How to change a rear brake pad on an electric parking brake.
Why is the procedure for replacing a brake pad in a vehicle with an electric parking brake different?
With a manual brake, it’s the cable tension that applies the braking force – this is usually controlled by pulling a lever. However, with an electric brake, a button sends the signal to an electric motor to apply the brakes. So when replacing the brake pad, this motor needs to be wound back to release it.
How do you retract the parking brake motor?
You’ll need a diagnostic device to complete the procedure. In the video, we use the Delphi BlueTech diagnostic tool.

EV Battery Health Testing
To perform the original equipment (OE) EV battery health test routine, you may need to unlock the Security GateWay (SGW) depending on the brand. However, older diagnostic tools like the DS150 and DS450 cannot access this feature.
For this reason, we highly recommend upgrading to a DS180 or DS480 solution. These newer tools enable you to perform comprehensive tests and access the SGW for detailed diagnostics.
Comprehensive EV Battery Health Testing
Delphi has defined EV battery health testing across seven categories:
- Voltage Test (No Load)
- Voltage Test (Light Load)
- Voltage Test (High Load)
- Capacity Test (Ah)
- Thermal Test
- Integrity Test (Pressure)
- Internal Inspection
How These Tests Tie Into Battery Classifications and Components
To give you some more context on these tests and how they work together, let's break down the basics of EV batteries.
Battery Classifications
EV batteries are categorised based on their voltage and configuration:
High voltage (HV) batteries range from 48V to 1,000V.
Cells are the building blocks of the battery and are usually between 1.2V and 4.2V each.
Modules are groups of cells that work together.
Packs are multiple modules that form the complete battery pack.
Knowing these components helps you see where each test fits in and why it matters. For example, understanding cell configurations (series vs. parallel) can help you clarify why certain voltage drops happen during a high-load test.
Battery Components
The main components of an EV battery include:
Cells
Coolant/refrigerant
Heating elements
A sealed case
Connections
Relays
The Battery Management System (BMS)
Current sensors
Temperature sensors
Each of these parts contributes to the battery's performance and safety.
The OEM test
Different OEM’s have different tests categories within the BMS, this is the test that the Delphi diagnostic solution can access.
Some OE’s chose a simple light load voltage test, others carry out a more in-depth voltage and capacity test.
Whichever it is, the Delphi diagnostic solution has you covered.
