2017 Land Rover Discovery Rear Brake Service
Modern brake systems aren’t just mechanical anymore. On today’s luxury SUVs, a simple brake job requires advanced diagnostics and precise electronic calibration.
This 2017 Land Rover Discovery was serviced at a local business in Oceanside, CA for rear brake rotors, brake pads, and brake wear sensors. The customer called Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic to handle the repair on site, avoiding the downtime and expense of a dealership visit.
Diagnosis
During the brake inspection, we confirmed the rear pads were worn beyond service limits and the rotors showed heat wear from repeated braking cycles. The brake wear sensor had also triggered a warning on the dashboard.
Unlike older vehicles, this Discovery uses an electronic parking brake system that must be electronically released before any brake components can be removed. Without the proper scan tool, the job cannot be completed safely.
Repair
Using a professional diagnostic scanner, we placed the vehicle into brake service mode to deactivate the electronic parking brake. New rear brake rotors, brake pads, and brake wear sensors were installed.
After reassembly, the system was recalibrated to teach the vehicle the new pad thickness and parking brake position. Brake fluid condition was verified, and all critical fasteners were torqued to specification. The vehicle was then test driven to ensure quiet braking, proper pedal feel, and correct parking brake operation.
Value
Today’s vehicles rely heavily on computers for braking, stability, and safety systems. Proper brake service now requires both mechanical skill and electronic programming. Skipping calibration steps can lead to warning lights, premature wear, or parking brake failure.
Routine brake inspections help catch wear early and prevent costly repairs down the road, especially on European vehicles like Land Rover.
