VEHICLES WITHOUT: ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
You may see that your Ford F-150 does not have an electronic parking brake system in the user manual. This necessitates manual activation of the parking brake rather than its conventional button-based operation.
Your Ford’s parking brake system is intricately linked to the disc brake pads found on the back wheels. A vehicle devoid of electronic parking brakes (EPB) uses brake pads as an integral component of the system, with the parking brake being engaged by means of a lever that tightens a cable that engages the back brakes.
Keep in mind that in order to keep your car running smoothly without electronic parking brakes (EPB), you need to regularly service the rear brake system. Regular inspection and replacement of the Ford F-150’s rear disc brake pads is part of this.
Repairing brake pads requires careful attention to detail, so be sure to follow these guidelines before you begin:Â
- Wear appropriate clothing, safety glasses, and high-quality work gloves:
Wearing the right clothing and equipment is essential for your safety. - Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface:
When working on the brake system, the vehicle must be on a level surface. This ensures your safety, makes work easier and prevents damage during the repair process. - Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work:
Disconnecting the vehicle battery reduces the risk of electrocution and protects your Ford F-150’s electrical system. - Use proper lifting supports:
Before beginning the repair, be sure to install the proper lifting supports. These supports keep the vehicle elevated and in place, reducing the risk of accidents.
Recognize the signs of brake pads failure
An audible screech when you press the brakes may indicate that your brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. A grinding or buzzing sound might be causing the sounds.
- Vibrations when braking
If you feel vibrations when braking, this may indicate that there is a deformity in the brake rotor or pads. It can also be a sign of a brake system failure. In these cases, the brake pads must be checked. - The brake pedal feels softer than normal
If you feel that the brake pedal is softer than normal, it indicates that the brake system is not working properly. In some cases, it may be a problem with the brake caliper pistons or a sign of worn brake pads. - Vehicle pulls to one side while braking
If you notice that the vehicle pulls to one side while you brake, it indicates that there is a problem with the brake system. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including worn brake pads or wheel misalignment.

3. Remove the brake pads
4. Remove the brake pad clips
5. Compress the disk brake caliper pistons into the brake caliper bore until the piston bottoms out in the brake caliper bore.
- If the brake caliper piston bottoms out but the piston is not fully compressed, gently rotate the piston clockwise until resistance is felt and then re-apply the brake caliper piston retractor.
NOTE: Do not use a C-clamp to compress the brake caliper piston or damage the parking brake actuator motor may occur.
Do not apply greater than 133lb.in (15Nm) of torque when rotating the disk brake caliper piston or internal damage to the brake caliper may occur.
