Break Pad Light After Change

[eddy1]

hi, i have changed the rear BPads, as the sensor was on and they were worn.

Guy at parts said i could have one for

[searcher]

Are you sure the wire on the front ones is ok ?

If front wear sensor is fine then you'll probably need to loop backl the rear sensor connection so that the management sees a circuit completion signal from the pad sensor (that isn't there)

 

I think (could be wrong) that if you cut the sensor cable off the old worn out pads and plug into the wiring loom that it should fool the ECU.

 

Waits to be proven wrong... :D

well eddy1(the cheapskate) at least you admit it but might have been better to ask first before you did that, personally i would have bought the ones with sensors on if my car had them on as they help to monitor the wear.

However that said your lucky as yes you can get away with it but you will need to keep an eye on the pad wear now including the inner ones which are harder to see and as mentioned check the fronts aswell

To turn off the light again as someone has said you need to cut off the old wire on the original pads, bare and join the 2 wires together and insulate, when you refit the wire to the connector on the car the ecu will now see a complete circuit so should turn the light off, i have done it a few times before on cars i have done until i have been able to get new sensors as some are sold seperatly from the pads (aaaahhhhh) but thats just another money making scheme
