You can reset this fault code using the buttons on your dash - you don't need a dealer to do this. As you already know, you need to replace your pads and the brake wear sensor - this is a sacrifical item. Once this is done, do the following:- Using the buttons on your dash - there are 2 - one on the LHS (Trip reset) and one on the RHS (In between Tacho and temp gauge)
*Press and hold Right button and turn ignition to first position (I or Accessory)Display should show "Check Control OK" then a short time later "Test Nr.01"*Press the Left button and you should see the car info in the display. Add the last FIVE digits of the car identity number together (NOT all 6!) to get a unique ID for your car.*Press the Right button repeatedly until you see "Test Nr.19"*Press and hold the Left button until you see the number matching the unique ID you calculated, then release.*Press the Right button to select this.*Press the Left button repeatedly until you see "Test Nr.21" - Reset All Defect Codes*Press Right button to reset the codes.Done!
nope,it has to go back to a dealer(the computer is too expensive for a diy mech)they will reset it IF GENUINE parts have been used, as sensors are inbuilt into the pads.
Hi , if you turn the ignition on so that all the dash lights are on , do not start the engine and leave on for aprox 45 seconds the brake pad warning lights should go out, regards mark
In the past I had the same problem with new pads!
You must check up if new brake pads electrical wires are OK. Try as follows:
1. Disconnect only new brake pads wires from the vehicle electrical circuit.
2. Extract old brake pads wires from old brake pads.
3. Insulation wear cap from old brake pads wires.
4. Connect old brake pads wires on the vehicle electrical circuit.
5. Switch ignition ON and start engine.
Now the wear light must go off !
Please Rate my Response! Thanks!
As the brake pads wear, the brake pad wear sensor contained in the brake pad contacts the brake rotor. This causes the sensor to fail. When a pad wear sensor fails it opens the ground circuit of the pad wear warning light system causing the pad wear warning light to illuminate. Perform normal brake service to correct this condition and be sure to replace the brake pads with pads containing wear sensors. Once the brake pads and wear sensors are replaced, reset the brake pad warning system by turning the ignition switch to the "on" position. As long as continuity to ground exists through all the brake pad wear sensors the system should reset and the pad warning light in the dash will go out. If the pad warning light does not go out, a check of the pad warning circuit for an open circuit condition or poor ground must be performed.
