Confused on resetting brakes

benzo23 · 08-25-2011, 01:19 PM

Short and sweet, Ive searched and cant seem to find a definitive answer. Im replacing my rotors, pads, and fluid this weekend and after im done is the yellow 700mls remaining service light for the front and rear pads something i can reset on the stalk or is it something that has to be taken to the dealer? Thanks

Thanks for the video ill definitly try that first. Somewhere i have read that after ppl reset it from the stalk they got a red front brake warning with "-----" where the mileage should of been. Can anyone confirm this or chime in?

I can't comment on the front but this method works for the rear. my sensor wire got cut in half somehow and I replaced it and did this reset, worked great

Well i guess only one real way to find out, i guess worse case is i have to take it to the dealer for them to reset. There going on wed, so ill be able to report back
