This isn't a new thing. A bunch of cars with electric parking brakes already have this service situation.
A lot of mechanics don't even look in software and probe them regardless because fuck getting out your scan tool, groping around in the footwell, plugging in, cycling through menus, trying not to get anything dirty in the process, etc, etc, all for something that can be done from the wheel well where the brake job is already being performed.
