TexasLexus94 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I always change the pads and rotors front and back on my '94 LS that has 119,000 miles. The other day, that round "O" with pads indicator came up in the cluster. Went away, now on full time. I removed the "low pads" contacts at the front rotors years ago-actually I broke them removing the original rotors. The rebuilt brakes have less than 5,000 miles on them, maybe less. And they work smooth as silk. The brake fluid is full. So the question is: What is the light trying to tell me? Thanks in advance for your help.

When the brakes are worn the sensor rubs on the rotor, breaking the connection between the wires. BUT IT COULD JUST BREAK AND TURN THE LIGHT ON. To bypass the sensor, thus disabling the warning light, simply expose the wire (most people cut off the top of the sensor and strip the plastic housing off the wire) and connect the wires, closing the circuit. The light will go off. WORKED ON MY 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WOULD RE CHECK THE CONNECTION AGAIN MAYBE SOMETHING CAME LOOSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 You said you removed the sensor....? Maybe it's on cause there's no sensor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
