Reset Brake Light

diu lay · 10-19-2007, 06:53 PM

Hi, I had my rear brake pads replaced..After I replaced my pads I then went to reset my maintenance light for my brakes.. I accidentally reseted my front brake pad light and the mileage on the display reseted to "-------" before i had 17,000km but now it's "-------" and it's yellow...

I then reseted my rear brake maintenance light.. and it showed up 50,000km

What i dont understand is why does it show "-------" for the front..

*note* I kept trying to reset the front brake light after that incident and it would keep showing the "-------".... HOW DO I FIX IT?!?!

Thanks in advance!!!!

diu lay, I suggest you just bring your car to the dealer.

Basically what i did was reset the brake light wear indicator without changing the brakes or sensors..

What I don't get is.. What if I change the brakes earlier than needed and I go reset the brake light.. will it show "--------"??? Shouldn't it give me a approximate mileage?
