Brake Pad Warning Sensor Reset Procedure

FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD WEAR SENSOR






The front disc brake system on this vehicle is equipped with an electronic brake pad wear sensor. The brake pad wear sensor is pressed into the front inner brake pads. When the brake pad linings have worn to the point of replacement the sensor makes contact with the rotor, causing an open in the sensor circuit and illuminating the warning indicator on the instrument panel. The sensor consists of the following parts:
^ A plastic L-shaped housing with an integral circuit loop
^ A steel retaining button
^ A two-wire connector
Once the indicator lamp has illuminated the sensor must be replaced and is not reusable. Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
