Brake pad sensor warning light

Back home now and I checked the two sensors. One was plugged in, the other wasn't...doh....however, the light was still on the dashboard when I reconnected it.
Took the car out for a drive and the lights stayed on.
Once back home, I put the car in the driveway, stoped the engine, but when I went to start the engine, it wouldn't (will create another thread about this...think its the starter motor), however, I am pretty sure the light had disappeared.

The Creator 310+ menu is a bit clunky and reads modules one at a time though the selected menu Engine, Chassis or Body but once you know your way around where each module lives in the menu its not really a bother. Higher end scanners that use Tablet form like Autel Launch and Top Don do of course they do a full health report and scans all modules in one go producing a detailed report. If you want that kind of scanner then your looking at £300+ depending on Brand and if its a Chinese Clone. Creator at circa £50 is a bargain for what it can do.

I had a longer play around with the c310+ yesterday trying to see if I could find anything to do with brake wear sensors. Couldn’t find anything but did get a bit more familiar with the menu structure.
One thing I did discover was that it’s not running the latest software and since I am a Mac user, I can’t update it. Need to find a windows machine somewhere….

Current version is 12.05 which can be updated using the Creator update software on a Windows laptop. Updated one the other day for a fellow member who had a used Creator on version 7.

Thanks for the link but my Mac mini is too new and doesn't have an Intel chip. I may resort to seeing if my mum's 386SX is still working
