Toronto GTA - Reset Rear Brake Wear Sensor (Reset Impossible)

sroghen · 05-06-2017, 09:02 PM

Guys,
If anyone in GTA, knows how to reset the rear brake wear sensor, plz PM me.

Rear Brakes and sensor were changed after light came on. But now I cannot reset the light through dashboard. I also tried shorting the old sensor by connecting the 2 wires but no good.

If programming is needed, plz let me know. Appreciate it.
Thx

would great if i didnt have to go to dealership to get this fixed.

Today I tested the new sensor with multimeter and it shows 0 ohm.
I also tested the old sensor which had wires connected, and it also showed 0 ohm. i disconnected the wires and it shows infinite range.

Any advice?

You probably need to use an ODB tool.

a while back i had the same error pop up when i tried to reset my oil change indicator.

was unable to do it, same error message.

turns out that at least with the oil change, its related to the 'vehicle check' indicator.

that needs to be reset first (or not be waiting for a reset), then the oil change would reset fine.
