Archie Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 The Brake warning light came on so I replaced the front pads. Looks like they still had a lot of life left. The warning light is still on. I didn't check the rears. I wonder if the rear pads are shot. Does the rear have a sensor like the front? If not, why is the panel light still on? 95 LS 400. 75K miles Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-10 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I have a 95 model and they do have sensors on the rear pads. Can you say EXPENSIVE. I think the rear sensor cost $50 Best Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 check your brake fluid level, that is most likely why the light is one ;) the sensor is very sensitive, if the fluid is even 1/4 inch below the line and the light will come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcpth Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Do 92 models have brake sensors? I've yet to see a brake light come on for my car. The only brake light i've seen is for the Emergency Brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLexus94 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 My 94LS has sensors on all the pads. I got some great advice on this forum once-Seems one of the sensors failed, and the light stayed on. So I cut the 2 wires to the sensor-reattached them together-and the light was gone. Let's face it-how many cars over the years have had pad sensors? Very few. But somehow, most of us knew when our pads were low. So rather than being robbed at a dealer or an Indie-Simply cut the wires, reconnect them, and boogie on. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
