How to cheat brake pad warning?

[jvictormp]

Hi guys.

I don't have the rear brake pad sensor. Don't know how I lost it, don't know when I'm gonna buy it. I'd appreciate if you didn't enter in that matter.

There is the brake pad service warning, and now I want to cheat the board computer. Would that be possible?

Could I cut the sensor wires (I only lost the probe), and isolate them from each other, so that there is no current in the wires?

Could I short them, so that the current is max?

Could I use a proper resistor so that there a proper current?

Thanks a lot.

you just cut and connect them and you'll be able to go through another brake life cycle.

Connect the 2 wires together and you're good.

If you already have the service warning, it can be complicated. Some have had luck cutting and connecting the wires would allow them to reset the service indicator through the stalk/menu. I had a hard time but was able to reset through my scan tool (Foxwell). If you don't have the warning, one can supposedly rest without too much issue.

I just bought an INPA cable, and that would be a good exercise to me to start using it.
