Title: False Alarms
Post by: Baffled on 05 August 2008, 13:47:02

Changed the front pads today. Replaced them with QH product. They came without pad-wear sensors. Old sensors fell (well they nearly did) out of the old pads and were secured up and away from rotating parts. 30 mins after setting the alarm off it goes!

The reason I suspect these open? circuits is that when I was recently working on the coolant bridge the car could not be locked with anything unplugged or the neighbours would start tutting loudly.

Do I need to terminate the brake sensor wires with anything? Capacitor, resistance or short?

Try inplugging the bonnet sensor, chances are you leant on it while working on the coolant bridge ;)

I really doubt the two are connected.   If the sensors are still good, why not reuse them though?  But if they are worn through, you will either need to replace them or short them out to get rid of the warning message.
