Hi Guys, I changed my rear brake pads last sunday, due to the fact I have only the OEM car-jack I did it in two times one for wheel and each one the Jk was completely dead only disconecting and riconecting the battery I was able to run it.
After that no issues.

Any idea? I sounds like a sort of "Protection mode"....

I've never heard of anything like this. Maybe you can briefly explain the process steps you used to change your brakes.

1. lift the jk once for side
2. wheel off
3. old pads off - old pads on
4. push the piston back
5.wheel on.
6.pump the brake pedal
7 jk dead
8 switch off battery- switch on battery
9 jk ok
this for two times and then no issues, I never changed the battery but it's trange if it was a case….

You're saying it's fine now that you disconnected the battery?

Perhaps (just a guess) your lifting of the vehicle activated the anti-theft system and doing a battery disconnect and reconnect reset it?

yep it's fine no probs at all.
I have no alarm so,...I was thinking to the ABS sensor but it's strange this appened to no one did by hisself this job

I did all four brakes myself on my 2012 Jku and did not have any problem like you describe. I've been following this forum for 7 years and don't recall ever seeing such a problem reported.
