Mine went off automatically.

 

Did it take a while or was it immediate?

 

Mine shut off completely right after the change on both front and rear...maybe try to use a multimeter to check for a short on the sensors??

 

Moved to running gear.

 

Just changed my brakes rotors/pads/sensors. Had to do L side F/R, move the car, then R side F/R. Light was still on after doing the L side, light went off after completing the R side. Looking at the wear on the sensors it appeared the R rear brake sensor was the one that set off the warning light. After finishing checked OBD w/VCDS, no fault code shown on brakes. Checking continuity with a meter as suggested is a good idea.

 

Did you find the problem? I'm having the same issue.

I need help. I replaced the brakes pads and sensors last week. The check brake pad light went out but the symbol (0) was still on. While I was rechecking the brake sensors I broke one. The check brake pad light came back on. What is the symbol (0) on the dash light for? If it is a brake sensor issue shouldn't the check brake pad light be on too?

 

Same problem here. Got my brake pads changed, the text message is gone but the yellow (0) light remains.

Did you do it your self? If you find the problem please post.

 

Can you disable the light that says that my tire pressure is low?? I was told that when we bought the vehicle that the batteries were going low and are also a little spendy. I would be fine without that warning light at all. Any thoughts???

Thread with all that info in the DIY part of the forum.

Expanded info is where Yeti directed you; short answer, not without disconnecting the TPMS brain and a quick recode.

 

Well, I think we will have this problem solved. My mechanic ordered the sensors and is charging for the parts, but not the labor to put in the new sensors. In the mean time, we got our tires rotated and the good folks at Big-O say the rear pads need to be changed. So I'm a little worried that maybe that is the real reason for the warning light.

More to come when we find time to get it to the shop.

 

I replaced my brakes and sensors my self. The check brake pad light was still on tried new sensors nothing. Took it to the dealer they said the front brake harness needs to be replaced. they want $350 plus labor.Can I do this myself? What is the part called and the part number?

 

found the part #7L0-971-279 is tis something I can do my self?

 

Hi Cheddardip. I had a similar problem where I was getting the Brake pad Sensor going off every now and then (but not constant) and also a BRAKE FAULT - STOP VEHICLE hard fault alert. My dealership traced it to a brake harness (7L0-971-279-G). Initially they said it may be 4-5 hours, but when I went for them to install it was done in one hour as they said it just needed to be clipped in and was not as major as they initially thought. Mine was covered under warrenty so it did not cost me a thing (but I did elect to buy extended warrenty as mine will run out in a few months).

So bottom line, I did not see the install, but it did not take them long. I was at the place at 8am and out at 9am. Hope this helps!

 

hi guys
Fixed the problem. One of the wires in the harness plug broke. I soldered it back together and the light on my dash is off. Thanks for every bodies responses. Without this sight I would be spending thousands in repair bills.
