BBK -> replace brake pads light

bunnn · 07-10-2011, 09:22 PM

So I've had my Brembo's on for quite some time now, but my "replace brake pad" light only recently came on. My sensors are still tied back, so I have no idea what this is coming up.

I recall reading about buying new sensors, but I fail to recall the details on the thread that I've read that. Any input guys? Thanks!

Check out this thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...e+sensor+reset. It explains the brake sensor reset procedure.

Yeah, I know how to reset it..but it keeps coming back. Some potential solutions there, thanks for the find.

I would check your sensors. Sometimes they get loose/damaged due to vibration/heat even if they are tied back.

I will get it checked this weekend. Is this something that's easily replaceable? It's the black wire right?

Thanks for the input guys.

Yes very easy. Literally plug and play.

Should look like the picture below.
