is there a way to bypass the brake sensors on the front of my 2006 LR3??? The warning light came on yesterday and I will be replacing the pads tonight, but I am told you have to replace the sensors as well??? If so I would like to bypass them. Short the wire??? Help

 

I replaced the pads tonight. piece of cake The sensor was unusable, so I cut the wires and taped the the end so that they would not short. There constant warning light and "ding" everytime I step on the brakes stopped, but I still get a warning lamp that says BRAKES in red then turns yellow once car is started??? Does the dealer need to reset this? Is there a workaround to rest this lamp?

 

I have the same problem. Took it to the dealer today and asked him to check it out. Turns out I still have a decent amount of pad left and he didn't recommend changing the pads as I probably had another 2500 miles on them. I asked him to disconnect the sensor so it would stop dinging every 30 secs and I would it back in 2000 miles to have the breaks done. Lo and behold he said he can't do anything to stop it! Unbelievable! I wouldn't mind the light being on as long as the dinging stopped. How did you do yours? Is there only one sensor?

Thanks,
James

 

You can order new sensors they are cheap.

 

I know i can buy a new sensor, but I wouldn't put it in until i re-did the pads. The dealer said the existing pads were 4 32nds front and 5 32nds in the rear so they definately have wear left on them. So without replacing the pads and sensor i have to listen to this monotonous beeping every 30 seconds or so. i would be fine if just the light was on knowing that in 2k miles I need to re-do the brakes. What happens if I just unplug the sensor?
