You need to replace any faulty pad wear sensors first!
One on the front , and one on the rear, depends which was worn down!

Then switch on the car to position II and leave for a few minutes! (Though in some reports you had to put you foot on the brake pedal also - I used to ) but try without if you have good sensors!

Easy to change the sensor done it at the weekend, they are about £13 each from BMW

I think the sensors have been changed...

Its just how to get the light off

.....have you tried it yet???

[aussie11]

The light would only come on if the two connecters touch each other

I cant try it cos I dont get it back till 2morrow...I need to tell the dealer I got it from what to do to turn it off

[dakini]

try not to worry about it, man. the dealer knows what she/he is doing, and will figure out why the car is throwing a code to make the light come on. then they'll figure out what to do to fix it. no reason for you to tell them how to do their job.

Andrea, I don't think its a MINI Dealer!

Its not a MINI dealers and they dont no what they are doing at all....

I brought it and the wheel bearing went, the remote centrol locking failed and the brake warning light was on and needed to be reset....its had new pads etc

When I had this I posted and got this reply that worked, http://www.mini2.com/forum/wheels-ty...ing-light.html

dealer is useless - they hadnt fixed the remote central locking when I went to collect it today and brake warning light thing is still on

they said if i take it to a MINI dealer and get it done myself they will pay for it - they should of done this before they sold the car ;(

Hi Ive got a 56 plate cooper S & have changed the front pads & wires. I cannot re set the warning lamp. Its the later type without a proper key. there are many different symbols which appear but I don,t know how to re set. Any ideas please!!. Geoff.

Would that be an R56 model?

I managed to work it out and did a DIY guide for it!
