Brake pad light not resetting

Mrpeterman · 03-03-2014, 09:26 AM

Hey,
Changed my front break pads, can't get the reset to update. Get all the way past reset and it keeps putting the old mileage -220 any help would be appreciated.

Did you replace the brake pad wear sensor?

I had a friend do it, I'm assuming he did not mess with the sensor. Would he have had to remove the sensor to change the pads?

yes - and it needs to be replaced with a new sensor - it wears down with the pad and tells you when you need new ones.
