Brake sensors

JSILVER135I · 06-25-2012, 08:08 AM

Ok so I did my pads all around on the weekend but unfortunately I broke my new sensor for the front pads! So now my car is telling me that I have to put my car on the hoist! (pic of the car in red shows up on dash telling me to service now!) but for the rears I was able to get it in ok but for some reason it's not showing up after I reset it! All that shows up is _ _ _ _ _ kms! Any ideas?

You're going to need a new sensor for the front and you need to reset them.

K figured out that u can't reset the rear even if it's a new sensor if the frot isn't plugged in! Used my old front sensor and cut the wire and twisted them together and taped it all up! Plugged it in reset the service indicator and presto! I will have to pick up a new front sensor but this will get me by for now without any warning lamps! Thanks for the reply.
