2019 equinox premiere rear brakes replacement

AI says the scan tool is optional, but im not sure if you can trust it. Video showing what to do with the scan tool. My tool does not have this feature.

I didn't even unplug the electrical connectors to the actuators. I left everything plugged in. I did have to tweak the hard lines a bit on the rear calipers to be able to gain access to some of the torx screws on the actuators. No big deal. Just a slight reposition.
