Brake pad wear sensor
Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2024 3:27 pm
Hi all, I need some help please. Just removed rear wheels and brake pad wear sensor is flush with edge of brake pad and therefore touching the break disc.
Does this activate the light on the dash or does it wear down some more and activate the light when pads are almost worn up?
There is 7mm of wear left in the pads.
A friend has a BMW dealership and had a Quick Look on the dash and pressed loads of buttons and said that it needs software update which he will do free of charge.
If this sensor will activate the light once it has had the update I guess the best thing to do is to cable tie the sensor to the brake caliper and periodically have a Quick Look at the pads to see when they really need changing………
