Pad wear sensor removal
« on: October 01, 2014, 10:20:50 pm »
Hi guys recently had my TTRS front brake set up fitted, I don't have the wear sensors on this set up so my car keeps telling me to check the brake pads. I've been told I could put a resistor on the end of the plug but I have no idea which one and where I could get one, has anybody done this and if so could you please point me in the right direction, thanks.

Cant you just twist the wires together and tape up?

If you have the old pads, cut off the sensor plug and wiring, short the wires by connecting them together then plug it in to your car.

Alternatively just use vcds to code out the sensor.
Without traction power is nothing!

I don't know mate I'm pretty useless when it comes to this stuff which is why I pay someone else to do most things  :ashamed: , I'm sure someone on here must have done it before so whatever they did I'll give it a try.

Don't have the old pads, didn't realise it was possible to code out the sensor all together, need to get a few bits done with the VCDS anyways so I'll put that on the list  :happy2:
