Re: HOW DO YU RESET THE BRAKE PAD MONITOR AFTER FITTING...
Short the two wires in the sensor cable together and either solder or tape up i broke my sensor and this cleared my fault but only had sensor on left so check both sides.

I would suggest the following. Get a good lamp or torch. Put the vehicle safely up on axle stands or a vehicle lift. Take each wheel off, one at a time and trace the sensor wire from the pads. Check it is securely fitted in the pad and plug in point. Then trace the wires back past that point. The wiring further back can get worn over time.
Hi, Try replacing the front brake pads. If the pads become contaminated dirt ,oil or grease they won't work properly.
Before you replace the pads check that the hydraulic oil is not leaking out. Dot 3 or 4. Good luck.
Remove brake pads..front. Deglaze discs and pads and use created on the back of the pads.
Discs must be grease free.
When installed and sensor fitted, ensure sliders are free before pumping brake pedal a few times.
Road test and remember to bedcin brakes again for 500 miles
First off have you worked on brakes before, if you have not, carefully consider your options. Yhe caliper has to be removed, piston reset and new pads fitted. The most difficult part of the procedure, is R/R of the anti-rattle spring without breaking it.
you have to fitt the caliper realy tight to get a good hand brake..remove the caliper..With pads in place. Press the brake to push out the piston.Only a little.Then replace the caliper with it realy tight onto pads.Then work the handbrake up and down a few times then you should be ok.Dont worrie about the brake being a bit tight.Just take it for a short run then.It will losen up.The handbrake is self adjusting.
uh... software, pistons, abs??? this guy definately does not know car mechanics. brakes are all mechanical and the abs system has nothing to do with the brakes directly.
To compress pistons, there are two steps. one, open brake fluid reservoir cap to allow easier compression.
two, turn hub assembly outward toward you so you can see the pad and caliper. insert large flat head screwdriver between pad and rotor and pry slowly towards the piston. adjust when needed to keep pressure in the center of the piston.
there are two allen "hex" key bolts, hidden under plastic caps. loosen those and remove. These are the slider bolts that the calipers float on. remove the calipers. there are two 16" bolts that hold the caliper bracket to the hub. remove those to remove the rotors.
