Resetting brake pads range/forecast

quasio · 03-04-2014, 03:45 AM

Hi all,
Just changed my brake pads with new sensor and reset the brakes via the cluster/odo button.
it reset fine but the range on the brake pads is only 4400kms.

So i looked into inpa and saw the attached picture.

with forecast at 4000kms. (extremely low, i'd assume maybe 50000 kms when i reset.) The rears haven't been changed and are fine.

An error light came up when i hit brake pads (F3) from this screen, (i might also have the wrong version as i get an error when first stating database may mistmatch)

Anyway, does anyone know how to change that forecast number back to 50000kms or whatever?

Try to use Tool32 to reset this.

ok i managed to fix it.
From INPA main screen, Select model and then DSC
Then F6 - Activate
Then F8 - Condition Based Service (CBS)
Then F1 - CBS Reset FA

Please note F numbers may be different in your INPA
The DSC does give warnings and dings on the cluster when you're looking and monitoring stuff in there. However in the end, it didn't actually set any error codes, so its ok.

Its now back to 40000kms.
