Forscan parking brake maintenance mode

Hi all, this past weekend I replaced rear brakes on a friend's 2021 F150 with electronic parking brake (EPP).

I used Forscan Lite to activate maintenance mode (no issues there), however, when I finished the job and attempted to exit maintenance mode procedure, it kept getting interrupted at 9%-12% of progress.

Turns out you have to press and hold foot brake pedal when you run the procedure for Exit parking brake maintenance mode.

Forscan does not show this in the procedure notes.

Not sure if this applies to all trucks with EPP, but in case it happens to you, try pressing the brake before pressing the play button.

electric breaks...... jeez one more thing than (kiss)
Honesty, it was an absolute joy replacing the rear pads and rotors compared to my 2013.
No parking brake shoes to fight with... Didn't even have to remove the caliper bracket.

It's fixing to be the 9th year(?) of F150 production with an electric parking brake.
I'll have to check axle flange bolt pattern for possible future swap. :unsure:
