Thread: Disc pad messages

I believe that the fault will clear on its own eventually, or you can reset it yourself without a computer or visiting the dealer - http://www.aulro.com/afvb/good-oil/1...dure-l322.html

I replace my brake fluid every 5 years as a rule, and did the fluid on my L322 when I first bought it - it is a straightforward job. Just used DOT4 I think.

Just realised why, maybe the brake warning light is still on.
The dealer has supplied me with two rear sensors, would putting a rear sensor on the front, make any difference to the electronic read out ?

If he made it fit - no. The sensors sit in a normally open condition which closes as the pads wear out and the sensor is worn through - the disk completes the circuit. I didn't actually think the rear sensor would fit the front - the front has a much longer lead.

The rear is a lot longer than the front, I compared the two and apart from the length, they were identical.The connection was hard to push in but it seemed to seat properly.
I just ended up putting a nylon tie to take up the slack
The messages are still there, and the red light on the dash illuninated.

My bad - thought it was the other way around. Have you tried clearing the codes as described in the earlier post?

You can leave the sensor unplugged if you think it is that - the ECU will see that the same way as a new good sensor - completely open.

I have not tried the reset procedure that you advised me of , from Rangy Bits.
It asks for the vehicle identity number, is that the Vin number or something else ? .
Cheers Paul.

Yep, the VIN. Add the last 5 digits of it together and that's the number you use in the procedure.
