Brake pad reset wont take?
I replaced my rotors and pads all around but didnt change the pad sensors because they werent bad/pad didnt wear enough to throw the light on the dash
I still had a month left on the dash that told me when i first started the car and would go away, i thought id reset it and no i get a brake warning come up saying i need to replace my pads -_- I keep tryin to reset it and i keep getting ----- for the front and rear Some say i need to get new sensors and try again, some say just unplug mine and plug it back in and reset it(which i tried no luck)

I had the same issue. I didn't have a brake light before, but I did after doing the reset. I think it confused the values given they were not new and worn some.

Did you use an OE type sensor? Some aftermarket sensors will throw a fault code and throw a reading of 255%.

In theory you would think because the sensor never even got close to the rotor itself that automatically it's still good, but I've been in the automotive service industry for 9+ years and I can tell you that whenever you replace brake pads you want to replace em with new sensors as well. Don't be cheap, it's only $10-25 dollars more...
