Omega General Help / Re: Brake Pad Wear Sensor

« on: 24 October 2010, 13:18:05 »

Think I will try shorting the sensor out for the time being til I get a new 1 as it is quite annoying having to cancel the warning everytime I start the car. Lol

Brake pad warning keeps coming up on my display everytime I start the car, checked the pads tonight and they are fine, def not low enough for a warning, the only thing I noticed was a broken white plug tied to the ABS sensor wire on the drivers side, any ideas what this is?
Is there a wear sensor on both front brakes?

Are you SURE its a brake pad warning .. and not "brake check" This occurs everytime as the system checks the BRAKE LIGHTS .. it goes out once you touch the brake pedal and complete the circuit.

AFAIK if the brake pad wear indicator circuit is activated then the light on the instrument panel will be on..

Yes mate it says Brake pad on the display after the brake check has been cleared.

Bit of an update, problem was traced to a brittle wire between the ECU and crank sensor, car is now fixed and running and is now currently for sale as I have now lost any confidence in the car. Its been more trouble than it was worth so I just want rid of it now.

Thanks for the advice mate, my biggest prob is that im in Northern Ireland so I dont think any1 is close enough to take a look at her.    I will tell the mechanic to check the timing 2moro before he does anything else, anything is worth a shot at the minute.

Mechanic checked wiring between crank sensor and ECU today, no faults found, reckons it has to be a fault in the ECU. Some 1 told me it could be related to the transponder in the key being faulty, would this cause the engine to cut out and log the code for crank sensor tho?

Yes it came as part of the new sensor mate, its sealed onto the sensor with the oval type plug at the other end.

New DIS pack fitted today, car started fine but is still missfiring and then cutting out as before and logging the code for crank sensor as well, any ideas? Mechanic is going to check crank sensor to ECU wiring tomorrow, but other than there being a breakage he thinks it may be a fault in the ECU.

Sorry to hear you're still having problems with this. 
When you changed the crank sensor last time didn't you get a new wire/plug with it?

Do u mean the wire that runs from the crank sensor to the plug near the DIS pack?

Defo looking like its the coilpack causing the problem, mechanic removed the old 1 on Wednesday and it is disintegrating badly in places and was damp, new 1 was ordered but did no arrive until today due to the weather so its going to be Monday before he gets it fitted, hopefully it sorts her out.

Camshaft sensor replaced today and made no difference, told the mechanic what Kneepad said about the DIS pack and he agreed. Being ordered in the morning and fingers crossed it will cure the problem.

No mate I havent replaced it, got so p***ed off with it that I sent it to a mechanic. Would the DIS pack cause it to missfire when warm but not when cold? I thought it was odd that it starts fine now when the engine is cold but will not start when it is warm.
