Hello, i have to change the front brakes on my 2025 bronco sport 1.5l and i just wanted to make sure that the brake maintenance mode is only needed when working on the rear brakes?

Thanks

How many miles/kilometers do you have?

I would assume so for the emergency break function, but not sure. Can you get to that mode without FORSCAN?

Yes there is a way with holding down the gas pedal and pressing the parking brake in a sequence.

That’s awesome, I learned something today, on my wife‘s Pathfinder is used a 9 volt battery……. No… I’m not proud about it, but it worked.

37,000 miles. I got almost 120,000 miles before I changed the front pads.

120,000 on one set of pads?

I am at 188,000 miles and have only replaced the front and rear pads once.

maintenance mode is only for the rear. and i forgot about it when i changed my rotors and pads with no ill affects. but maybe because i also changed my brake fuild at the same time.

I've changed my rear pads without using Maintenance Mode and had no problems. You can also disconnect the battery if you want to avoid the Maintenance Mode aspect.

NOTE: I put my '21 Bronco Sport in maintenance mode once and couldn't get it to revert back to normal mode. I had to take it to Ford to get it out of maintenance mode. So, proceed with caution...

I think it depends on your typical driving environment. We live in a rural area and I’ve put well over 100k on all our vehicles without changing pads. In fact, I don’t think I’ve changed pads on a vehicle since 2010 when I changed the pads on our 1997 F150 at 140k. Both our other vehicles have over 100k and still have lots of pad wear left. I’m having the brakes inspected and the brake fluid changed on the Cherokee next month so I’ll see how the look.
