Do you need an advanced scan tool for brake work on '04 E500?
I'm looking in the WIS about changing the pads and rotors on my '04 E500 and I read the car has a high pressure SBC brake system and something about a scanner being required to release the pressure before I can change the pads. Any insight into this? So I can't just squeeze the pads to retract the pistons and remove the caliper?

IIRC you can remove key from ign and close the doors w/o reopening, and the system will go to sleep after 20 minutes.
Do verify independently before proceeding. *edit* SBC plug must be disconnected first, THEN follow above procedure.

I would do what the manual says and not take any chances. And yes you need a advanced scan tool to do it

you can make sure that you will be safe by unplugging the abs module.large plug comes off very easily.

You mean disconnect this connector?
Can I flush the brakes like normal as well? |

Bleeding no; you need to read up on DIY's on other sites before attempting that job; otherwise you will set a code that can only be erased by a high end scanner.
