What year F150? I'll look up the specific procedure.
This is for a 2016 F-150
| 206-05B Parking Brake and Actuation - Vehicles With: Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) | 2016 F-150 |
| General Procedures |
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Service Mode Activation and Deactivation
Activation
NOTE: EPB service mode is also known as EPB maintenance mode.
NOTE: Carry out the following service mode activation procedure to deactivate the EPB system. The EPB system can also be deactivated using the diagnostic scan tool and following the on-screen instructions.
- Set the ignition to ON.
- Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch to the RELEASE (downward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and EPB .
- Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.
- NOTE: The EPB system will be deactivated, preventing parking brake application until service has been completed and service (maintenance) mode has been deactivated. The yellow EPB indicator will be illuminated and Maintenance Mode will display on the message center.
NOTE: When replacing rear brake pads in service (maintenance) mode, the brake caliper piston must be compressed into the caliper housing. The brake caliper piston does not have to be rotated while compressing the piston.
Set the ignition to OFF then release the accelerator pedal and EPB switch.
NOTE: Carry out the following service mode deactivation procedure to activate the EPB system. The EPB system can also be activated using the diagnostic scan tool and following the on-screen instructions.
- Set the ignition to ON.
- Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the EPB switch in the APPLY (upward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.
- Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.
- NOTE: The EPB system will fully apply and release the parking brake to guarantee sufficient air gap between the rear brake pads and brake disc.
Release the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.
Akibonos should be able to be had at Napa and Carquest/Advanced for most customers. The page I displayed is from Worldpac which is for shops and is owned by Advanced and whatever is on Worldpac can also be bought through Advanced, even if they say they don't have it in store, they can order it in from Worldpac. Just not sure how widespread Worlpac is but their parts inventory is easily the best out there. If you can buy directly from FMP you should be able to get them there as well.

You can use the same procedure I posted in post 23.
Thanks
Went with Duralast Golds, got a free upgrade to Elite pads on the front since they didn’t have Golds despite saying they did.
Easy swap. (Minus having to find an E20 socket…why do designers do shit like that)
Had my dad drive the car after doing the fronts and the surging had stopped. Checked the rears and the pads looked fine so I’ll be taking the rear pads and rotors back.
