Hiya guys,

on my way home last night from a xmas eve night out and my check brake pads light has come up on the dash.

The brakes however dont feel like they need changing at all..is the light activated via a sensor near the pad??

How can the light be turnt off if the pads dont need changing??

Thanks and merry xmas

Be thankful the sensor has come on...sometimes the sensor on the side that hasn't worn as much won't come on at all, and even when you're down to metal on metal.....the sensor is tellin you you're close, so listen before its too late.....

just have a look, my sensor fell out, bought new discs and pads and then relised they didnt need changing duh !!

It won't re-set until you put a new cable on. But you don't need to hook it up to a machine or anything.

Search for Bodsy's Brake Bible if yoiu want to know more about the brakes. Is fine for all except the TdV8 Brembo front brakes.  Bodsys Brake Bible
